INVESTMENT PLANNING
We all need guidance on how to:

either once-off or on a regular basis
 Reduce Risks - through diversifying
asset classes and types.
 Build a Portfolio - of liquid assets that
can be used for future challenges
 Preserve Wealth - through investing
in diversified global assets.
SCI Wealth uses high-technology systems
to build our clients secure investment
portfolios.
EMERGENCY FUND
It’s standard practice to have 3 months
personal expenditure in an instant access,
high interest savings account or in a money
market fund.
 SCI can help you get a better rate of
interest on your Savings - typically at
least 2% more than a standard savings
account.
YOUR WILL
Drafting your Will is an efficient process,
requiring in-depth understanding of your
Assets, your Beneficiaries and your Intentions.
It is especially important to make provision for
minor children or other dependents - in case
you & your Spouse pass away together.
This makes sure your Estate is distributed
impartially and objectively - avoiding any
potential tension amongst family members.
 Every individual should put their
Last Will & Testament in place, today
Our service includes full consultation, drafting,
signing ceremony & registration with the
Master of the Court.

DISCOVERY SESSION

Investment Advisers at SCI provide a full

a qualified financial planner, so that you
can ask questions and we can understand
your needs.
Q: How do I get the balance right between spending and saving?
Q: Where should I invest for growth, and how do I diversify my assets?
Q: How should I protect my spouse and my children when I die?
Q: What do I need to save and invest now to provide for my old age?
Q: Who can I trust to turn to for advice?

THE HISTORY OF SCI
Founded in 2002 as Southern Cross International,
SCI Group is headed by James Fern CFP®, a Certified
Financial Planning Professional.
Our 20 strong Botswana team hold a wide range of
experience and qualifications.
We provide high quality financial planning advice,
and give exceptional personal service.
PLANNING FOR CHILDREN
Many professionals were educated internationally -
and have the same ambitions for their children.
Unfortunately, the opportunities for scholarship
funding are now decreasing, and borrowing to fund
a university education is expensive.
 SCI Wealth Advisers set up Trust Funds to
ensure children get the education - and the
financial future - they deserve
RETIREMENT PLANNING
In a world where we move jobs, companies and
even countries, Government and employer-based
old-age-pensions are less and less likely to be
sufficient to provide for you.
 “Retirement planning is perhaps the most
important part of any financial portfolio”
Successful people don’t want to burden their
children with the financial responsibility of caring
for them in their old age.
PROTECTION
It is important to protect your spouse & children
(and your business interests) with life insurance,
but many over-pay for their protection needs.
Your SCI Wealth Adviser will check:
 Family Protection Needs
 Mortgage or Loan Insurance
 Business & Shareholder Protection
 Key Person Insurance
Keeping these costs to a minimum helps you grow
your wealth.
