Testimonials
I, Warwick Stephen Head, as the Chairman of the DHL Supply Chain Retirement Fund, worked closely together with Vivek for almost seven years. I can confirm that his approach to Employee Benefits Consulting has been very concise and consistent.
He would continually put members first and act on his deliveries timeously. When he was called upon to act as part of the escalation process, Vivek would prioritise his commitments and if our requirements were urgent, he would ensure that it was dealt with efficiently so that the Board of Trustees and members of the Fund were not inconvenienced any further.
Beyond his commitment to the Board, Vivek and I have worked on other projects together, and I have found him to operate in the same manner.
I trust Vivek entirely and would highly recommend working with him.

Testimonials
I moved to South Africa in 2015 to take up the role of Managing Director of the South African office of ICICI Bank. In order to conclude a transaction with a client, I needed some assistance from an insurer that could assist me with a tailored solution. I was introduced to Vivek by a colleague, and upon meeting, Vivek offered his assistance.
Vivek was clear that my request lay outside of his area of expertise, but he fully understood what I required and assured me he would try his best to resolve my challenge. Vivek reverted to me within a matter of days and in due course introduced me to the Head of the division responsible for providing the solution I required. While the transaction took a few months to resolve, Vivek remained close to me and the service provider. He was adamant that as a client, my needs were fully met.
I have subsequently worked with Vivek on other projects, and regardless of the obstacles he needed to overcome, he would always find a way to ensure that our objectives were met. I will certainly continue to work with Vivek into the future as he is someone that I trust and it is ingrained in him to serve his clients needs to the fullest.

Our Core Focus Area
General benefit consulting incorporates fund structuring, compliance and other associated fund requirements. The fund’s structure is reviewed regularly to ensure that members are able to best achieve their retirement goals. We work closely with the Management Committee to ensure that the strategy is understood by all providers and implemented accordingly.
Risk consulting incorporates ensuring that the correct types of risk cover are in place for the various members. We vet insurers to ensure that valid claims are paid within agreed timeframes. Pricing is provided to our clients in a fair and consistent manner, with the portfolio awarded to the insurer that meets our strict set of requirements.
By taking away the management of the many hygiene factors associated with running a retirement fund, we provide the Management Board with more time to spend on creating the correct investment options for members. We simplify the jargon and complexity of the investment world by creating an investment model that suits the members of the funds first, and then help choose the correct provider(s). We continually match results with the desired outcomes.
Communication is the most critical component of Employee Benefits Consulting. An effective consultancy will ensure that members are reached and fully understand why the benefits they are offered exist, as well as how to use them efficiently to mitigate against current and future risk. Without an effective communication strategy, many members do not harness the efficiencies such structures provide. Effective communication is the cornerstone of having members retire with sufficient capital.
Healthcare in South Africa has become increasingly complex due to potential legislative changes and the increasing demands of private healthcare. Choosing the right medical scheme(s) for your employees is only one component of creating an effective healthcare strategy. Employees deal with healthcare related issues far more frequently than other group benefits. This means that it is imperative that employers appoint the correct scheme(s) and members choose the correct option. We assist in ensuring that this takes place, as well as the day-to-day requirements of members of the scheme.
