The optimal strategy for managing your retirement fund is informed by your retirement ambition and how much money you need to fund it, your appetite for investment risk and desire to provide for the people and causes that matter most to you.
We take the time to work through these important personal considerations.
Defined benefit (DB) pension schemes provide a guaranteed monthly payment to retirees for life. At retirement, a transfer value may be offered for the DB pension. This a single payment in lieu of providing a guaranteed pension at normal retirement age. Your choice here should be informed not only by the payment offered, but other factors including your appetite for risk, the profile of your other investments, your desire for income flexibility, and the importance of passing on wealth to the next generation.
An approved retirement fund or ARF is a personal, tax-efficient investment fund into which you can transfer all or part of your pension. Unlike an annuity, where an insurance company guarantees a retirement income in return for a premium, an ARF requires you to remain invested. It enables you to invest in a wide range of assets such as stocks, bonds, and property. The investments you choose depend on your risk tolerance and your financial goals. ARFs give retirees the ability to control their own investments, taking a flexible income throughout retirement and generally transfer to the retiree’s estate on death.
Approved retirement funds are our primary solution for retirees.
