FundsAtWork’s vision is to be a significant and a preferred partner in addressing insurance and retirement needs of employees through excellence in everything we do.

FundsAtWork is an income continuation product designed to meet individual insurance and retirement needs within a group environment. Individual needs are identified, understood and met through the advice process offered by partnering with our financial adviser network. This process enables employers and employees to achieve individual financial wellness.

Complementing our income continuation solution is our communication philosophy, systems and processes. Our communication is relevant and targeted to meet the audience’s need for information.

Our communication is designed to support the financial adviser’s advice process and to improve member education by positively impacting their financial literacy levels. We respect the relationship the financial adviser has with their clients and we believe that in building a strong partnership with financial advisers, collectively we can assist our clients to achieve financial wellness.

The importance of financial education

FundsAtWork actively participates in Momentum’s financial wellness drive. We realise that we have an extended responsibility to steer our clients towards financial wellness through employer and employee education. In support of a financially secure society, we focus on the long term nature of the benefits provided and assist individual members to understand how to prioritise their need for insurance and proper retirement planning. Through our communication initiatives we hope to enlarge the opportunity to positively impact their financial literacy levels.

Meeting individual needs with the group

Core to the FundsAtWork income continuation solution are ease-of-use and flexibility. We regularly inform members of the different insurance, retirement and lifestyle benefits available to them and how they can apply the flexibility in an easy-to-use way to enhance their financial wellness. Product utilisation therefore forms an integral part of our communication.

Legal requirements

Our communication philosophy also embraces the legal requirements on member communication as set out in the Pension Fund Circulars.

Keeping you, the financial adviser, informed

We understand the importance of keeping the financial adviser informed of all communication directed to your clients. The financial adviser will be notified ahead of the communication event and will be sent the information needed to provide appropriate advice to their client as far as possible.

The FundsAtWork communication strategy

FundsAtWork’s communication strategy consists of three elements, namely:• For the Umbrella and Preservation Funds, mandatory communication

required in terms of PF 86 and PF130. • For the Umbrella and Preservation Funds, communication required and

approved by the trustees that is designed to improve member education by positively impacting their financial literacy levels.

• For the Umbrella and Preservation Funds, as well as insurance only schemes, communication from Momentum FundsAtWork as the solutions provider, administrator and communications agent. This includes communication to the financial adviser, employer and members of ad hoc industry and product related matters, individual member event communication, subscription events and access to information and tools via our online web portals.

All communications to FundsAtWork Umbrella and Preservation Fund members is approved by the trustees prior to distribution.

Communication philosophy (continued)

FundsAtWork’s commitment to our planet

In an effort to be more mindful of the environment and to preserve our resources for future generations, FundsAtWork has expanded our electronic communications initiative. By reducing the amount of paper we produce we contribute to the overall decrease of waste in our environment. FundsAtWork therefore focuses on electronic methods for the distribution of all our employer and member communication but without compromising on our commitment to communicating information in the format most suited to the employers and members and to make every effort to ensure that all communication reaches the respective audiences.

Our main distribution platforms include email and employer intranet sites. All communication will be loaded onto the FundsAtWork employer and member portal as well. We recognise that not everyone has access to these electronic distribution mechanisms and therefore offer print as an alternative. Participating employers and financial advisers will always receive an electronic copy of all member communication prior to distribution to the members.

Preferred communication methods

The main method of communication to financial advisers and employers will be electronic, via SMS, email and web-based. The non-technologically based communication to members will not fall away, although market research indicates the following:

• Members with annual salary greater than R150,000: electronic (SMS/email) communication is preferred by these clients.

• Members with annual salary less than R150,000: these clients don’t have regular access to email or online facilities. SMS and printed communication is therefore preferred.

Member data required to support the communication strategy

For communication to be effective it must be distributed to the correct audience. Having access to current accurate individual member data and contact information is critical for us to achieve our goal of improving member education by positively impacting their financial literacy levels.

It is therefore a requirement that the following information be provided in respect of all members at date of joining FundsAtWork and to be kept updated thereafter:

•Cell number (all members)

•Email address (only for members with annual salary greater than R150,000)
