Today's Trustee

Today’s Trustee is a quarterly published glossy A4 magazine, launched in March 2005 to:

• Uniquely capture the core target market of ‘new generation’ retirement-fund trustees empowered by law to make decisions on the investment of R1,3 trillion in national savings;
• Promote empowerment by broadening the base of financial literacy and skills;
• Heighten awareness of shareholder activism for the mass of investors to make their influence felt by the exercise of their rights; 
• Facilitate public communication between asset managers and their retirement-fund clients;
• Enhance financial transparency and corporate accountability.
