Frequently asked questions about wealth advisory
What does Curemed's wealth advisory cover?
Curemed's wealth advisory covers personal financial planning, retirement planning (retirement annuities, preservation funds), investment portfolios, tax-efficient structures, estate planning and risk cover such as life and disability insurance. The advice is integrated with your medical aid and short-term insurance arrangements so the overall plan is coherent.
Why work with a holistic adviser instead of separate specialists?
A holistic adviser sees your medical aid, gap cover, short-term insurance and wealth picture together. That makes it easier to spot duplicate cover, identify gaps, and align decisions across products. For example, the right level of life cover often depends on what your medical aid and gap cover already pay out in a serious health event.
Is Curemed regulated to provide financial advice?
Yes. Curemed Health and Wealth Consultants is a licensed financial services provider with the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA, FSP 44098) and is authorised to provide advice and intermediary services in terms of the FAIS Act 37 of 2002.
How is the wealth advisory service charged?
Wealth advisory fees are governed by the FAIS Act and are disclosed in writing before any advice is acted on. Different product categories have different fee structures (e.g. ongoing investment management fees, once-off planning fees). Your adviser will explain the relevant fees that apply to your specific recommendations.
