You can select how often you receive your income; paid monthly, quarterly, bi-annually or annually, which can also be adjusted once a year, when reviewing your policy.

WITHDRAWALS

You may not withdraw from the annuity policy in addition to annuity income unless the value of the policy is below the legislated minimum amount of R125 000, in which case a full withdrawal may be requested. Withdrawals will be subject to income tax.

TAX

LIFE ANNUITY

A life annuity is not an investment, but rather an insurance policy. It offers you the ability to forfeit your retirement capital (unless certain additional polices or guaranteed terms are taken up) in exchange for purchasing a policy that provides for a set income for the remainder of your life.

LIVING ANNUITY

A living annuity is an investment that allows for flexibility with regard to the amount of income you wish to draw from your capital, which can be left to your loved ones. However this is not guaranteed and therefore underlying investment solutions should be chosen to suit the income required by you, the retiree.
