Retirement Annuity Option What will it be like not to have the certainty of a salary every month? And how much will you need every month to be financially prepared to maintain your standard of living once you stop earning a salary? Retirement and being financially independent is something to look forward to and you want to have enough one day, and not look your children or siblings in the eye to make ends meet.

How can the Retirement Annuity Option help you?

A retirement annuity helps you grow your savings money for retirement so that you can draw a regular income once you retire. It can supplement your employer’s retirement fund or be your main retirement savings method.

 

It is a long-term product that helps you invest in a flexible, structured, and tax-efficient way. The earlier you start saving and investing, the better.

Ensuring you have enough money for retirement is part of your journey to success. We know ‘enough’ is unique for everyone – whether you plan to relax on the stoep, travel, start a new venture or have time with your grandchildren.
