Preserver Plans

A preserver plan is an investment designed to keep your retirement savings invested if you're leaving your employer as a result of resignation, dismissal, or retrenchment, or if your pension or provident fund is wound up. With these plans you preserve your pension or provident fund savings from your previous employer until you retire.

 

Features of a preserver plan

Your investment growth is tax-free and can be deductible from your taxable income.

You cannot withdraw your savings until age 55, which means that you preserve your savings for retirement.

There are regulatory guidelines on where you can invest your retirement savings and no guarantee of performance.

There are fees that apply to your investment. Speak to your financial adviser for a detailed quote.

You can make extra contributions to your investment.
