When it comes to planning for your future, one of the crucial aspects is securing your financial well-being during your retirement years.
This is where pension plans step in, offering a lifeline that ensures you continue to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle even after you’ve bid farewell to the workforce.
A pension plan, simply put, is your insurance for life after work; it serves as a structured means of providing post-retirement income.
Many employers, both in the private and public sectors, extend pension plans as a component of employee remuneration.
How does this work? You and your employer both put money into the account throughout your working years which can be accessed after your retirement or a long time (minimum 4 months) out of active service. Your employer is required to contribute a minimum of ten percent (10%), while you are expected to contribute a minimum of eight percent (8%) based on your monthly salary.
Here is the multi-fund structure; there is a fund type for every generation:
- Funds I: This is an optional fund that contributors must formally write to the pensions administrator to opt for.
- Funds II: This is the default fund for contributors aged 49 and below.
- Fund III: This is the default fund for contributors aged 50 and above.
- Fund IV: This is the retiree fund.
- Fund V: This is the micro pension fund.
- Fund VI: This is a non-interest fund for contributors who would prefer their funds to be invested majorly in non-interest-bearing investments.
