The Best Retirement Annuity

Is there something like the best retirement annuity (RA)?

Lets answer it by looking at the features of a retirement annuity:

  • The main purpose of a Retirement Annuity is to let you save money for retirement.
  • The Second reason is that you get tax back from every contribution, equal to your tax rate. (Example: If your tax rate is 30%, for every R1.00 you contribute you get back R0.30) BY reinvesting the tax back you can decrease your required contribution by 20% or increase your end value by 30%)
  • A Retirement Annuity is there for you to guarantee that you will earn some income on retirement. That is also the reason why you cannot withdraw or excess it before retirement or age 55.
  • Question: Why you can only withdraw up to 1/3 of the value when you take a retirement option? Answer; If you could take the full amount and make the mistake that over 35% of pensioners make, and buy a business with no skills you might land up losing your business within 5 years and have no income for retirement. 80% of new business fail within the first 3 years.
  • What should the 1/3 be use for? To pay of your last debt and make provision for a emergency fund.

What makes the difference between retirement annuities?
