  • A Regulatory Review of Formal and Informal Funeral Insurance Markets in South Africa a Market Review and Regulatory Proposal
    A regulatory review of formal and informal funeral insurance markets in South Africa A market review and regulatory proposal prepared for Finmark Trust April 2005 26/04/2005: VERSION 4.5 Author: Hennie Bester Doubell Chamberlain Ryan Short Richard Walker Genesis Analytics (Pty) Ltd 2nd Floor, No 3 Melrose Square, Melrose Arch, Johannesburg South Africa, 2196. Post to: Suite 3, Private Bag X1, Melrose Arch, Johannesburg, South Africa, 2076. Tel: +27 11 214 4080, Fax: +27 11 214 4099 www.genesis-analytics.com FOREWORD The need to provide for funerals is one of the key drivers of financial behaviour for many South Africans and has led to a relatively sophisticated and widely accessed informal financial sector. It is estimated that over 6 million people currently belong to burial societies where an estimated R6 billion is invested every year- in addition to the wide usage of stokvels (or savings clubs). These informal groups play an extremely important role in mitigating the risks of poor households and, interestingly, are often complemented or supported by formal providers - as can be seen in the Financial Diaries project1. However it was evident from the scoping study FinMark Trust completed on making insurance markets work for the poor2, that the existing legislative and regulatory environment was especially inhibitive to the potential graduation of the so-called „informal mutual assistance (common bond) organisations‟ ability to become insurers in their own right. At the same time, however, there is a heated debate about the extent of abuse in both the informal and formal funeral insurance market. In light of the above, the following report sheds light on the operations of this key market (from formal to informal), assesses the extent of the abuse and current regulatory environment and proposes some amendments to the current regulatory regime.

  • The Burial of the Urban Poor in Italy in the Late Republic and Early Empire
    Death, disposal and the destitute: The burial of the urban poor in Italy in the late Republic and early Empire Emma-Jayne Graham Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology University of Sheffield December 2004 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk The following have been excluded from this digital copy at the request of the university: Fig 12 on page 24 Fig 16 on page 61 Fig 24 on page 162 Fig 25 on page 163 Fig 26 on page 164 Fig 28 on page 168 Fig 30on page 170 Fig 31 on page 173 Abstract Recent studies of Roman funerary practices have demonstrated that these activities were a vital component of urban social and religious processes. These investigations have, however, largely privileged the importance of these activities to the upper levels of society. Attempts to examine the responses of the lower classes to death, and its consequent demands for disposal and commemoration, have focused on the activities of freedmen and slaves anxious to establish or maintain their social position. The free poor, living on the edge of subsistence, are often disregarded and believed to have been unceremoniously discarded within anonymous mass graves (puticuli) such as those discovered at Rome by Lanciani in the late nineteenth century. This thesis re-examines the archaeological and historical evidence for the funerary practices of the urban poor in Italy within their appropriate social, legal and religious context. The thesis attempts to demonstrate that the desire for commemoration and the need to provide legitimate burial were strong at all social levels and linked to several factors common to all social strata.

Economic empowerment, as a from of economic nationalism, is not a new problem however, and historical precedent is particularly relevant in the case of Afrikaner empowerment in the early Union period through to the height of the Apartheid system.

  • Establishing the Relative Competitiveness Of
    The Journal of Applied Business Research – March/April 2015 Volume 31, Number 2 Establishing The Relative Competitiveness Of South African Banking Shares: A Kalman Filter Approach Chris van Heerden, North West University, South Africa Gary van Vuuren, North West University, South Africa ABSTRACT It is argued that the Basel III Accord will undermine the ROE of South African banks, and with the downgrading of South African banks during August 2014, will force investors to revaluate South African banking shares as attractive investment options. However, results from the Sharpe and Omega ratios, based on returns forecast using the Kalman filter, accentuate the likelihood that the South African industry can still be expected to be a competitive and feasible investment option after the downgrade. Evidence suggests that Capitec Bank Holdings Limited and Standard Bank Group Limited will perform the worst of all the South African banks, whereas FirstRand Limited, Investec Limited, and Barclays African Group will exhibit more promise in the future, outperforming world indices, such as the DAX, FTSE 100 and the S&P 500. Keywords: Kalman Filter; Omega Ratio; Sharpe Ratio; South African Banks 1. INTRODUCTION he 2007-2009 global financial crisis reinforced the importance of revaluating bank competition (GFD, 2013), especially if the competitive edge is associated with financial innovations, like sub-prime lending, which is considered as one of the contributors to the financial crisis (Bianco, 2008; Blundell- TWignall, Atkinson & Lee, 2008). New policies and regulations have been developed to address the sources of the financial crisis (see for example BIS, 2011), though regulators and policymakers should be wary of restricting future bank competition completely in an attempt to stabilise the financial system.
