2026-03-03

Stephen Grootes speaks to Thabo Hollo, programme manager of Old Mutual Financial Education, about how the increased TFSA limit works, why long‑term compounding makes tax‑free investing so powerful and how contribution rules and penalties apply. He also looks at whether a TFSA or a retirement annuity offers better value depending on your tax bracket, how TFSAs compare to flexible investments, why high‑growth assets maximise returns, and whether contributing monthly or annually leads to better long‑term outcomes.
