FAQ

Take a closer look at our retirement annuities - Frequently asked questions about retirement annuities.

Pension and provident funds vs retirement annuities

While all three of these options qualify for the same tax benefits, there are significant differences between them. Both pension and provident funds are offered by an employer – as a condition of employment – with you and your employer making monthly contributions to these funds. Retirement annuities, on the other hand, are bought by the individual, meaning you’re free to contribute to one whether you’re self-employed or you already contribute to a pension or provident fund. They also typically offer wider investment fund choices than either of the other two funds.

Tax Benefits

Your retirement annuity contributions reduce your taxable income up to certain limits. Another big tax advantage is that the growth on your investment is tax free!

Wealth Bonus

Boost your retirement savings with Wealth Bonus. You invest. We invest. SanlamAllianz contributes an additional percentage of your payments back into your Wealth Bonus.

Your savings are protected from creditor

Your retirement savings are safe irrespective of any personal financial loss you may suffer. This ensures that your savings will be available when it is most needed and for wat it is intended - the provision of your retirement income.

What if I cannot save the recommended amount each month

The earlier you start saving, the better. if you cannot save the recommended amount, save whatever you can afford. You can also add some of your bonus payments to your retirement annuity.

At retirement

Your savings provide you with an income in your retirement years. When you retire, you may take up to one third of your accumulated savings in a cash lump sum. The rest is used to provide you with a monthly income. The retirement benefit may be taken at any time from your 55th birthday, or earlier in the event of ill-health. The early retirement benefit amount is equal to the policy fund value. No transaction or termination charge will apply on transfer or retirement. The Wealth Bonus amount is paid out separately and does not form part of your retirement benefit.
