With our revolutionary ONEfee, you could get much more OUT of your retirement investment, all thanks to saving in investment fees.
Investment is about taking a risk, but we have worked hard to try and balance the odds in your favour.
Introducing the OUTvest Retirement Annuity with the Fixed ONEfee. What makes OUTvest different?
Switch to a Retirement Annuity that can give you 60% more when you retire.
With our Fixed ONEFee structure, you can save up to 90% in the fees that you currently pay.
Our target isn’t a benchmark, it’s your desired OUTcome from your investment.
The OUTvest Retirement Annuity is best suited for those that have a long-term investment objective with the goal of investing to provide an income (annuity) at retirement after the age of 55 years.
There is no limit as to the amount of money you may contribute to the OUTvest Retirement Annuity. We accept both monthly and lumpsum contributions as well as transfers from other retirement funds that you might have.
The law allows an investor to deduct contributions to retirement funds (pension, provident and retirement annuities) of up to 27.5% of their taxable income or gross income whichever is higher to qualify for a tax deduction. This 27.5% limit is not per retirement fund but cumulative (aggregated) across all retirement funds.
There is an annual maximum tax deductible threshold of R 350 000, however all contributions over this threshold can be carried over and used in future years, limited to the applicable restrictions in those years.
Only after you turn 55 years old can you retire from the OUTvest Retirement Annuity subject to the applicable taxation. At retirement one third (1/3) of the money can be taken by the investor in cash (subject to taxation) to invest as they please while the remaining two thirds (2/3) must be used to buy an annuity to provide the investor with an income. However if your fund value in the retirement annuity is lower than the R 247 500 after you turn 55 years old, you can access the entire amount in cash subject to taxation.
You can also access your funds in the following special circumstances:
In these cases there will be taxation applicable on the cash amount taken.
A board of trustees is responsible for running the retirement annuity and protecting the interests of all members. If you die while still invested in the OUTvest Retirement Annuity the trustees must trace those that are financially dependent on you and allocate the funds appropriately.
Yes, once your money is invested in the OUTvest Retirement Annuity it is protected from all your creditors, thus ensuring you have something to help you retire with one day, even if you were sequestrated.
Basically Regulation 28 (Reg 28) of the Pension Funds Act, means that you can’t invest more than 75% in equities, 100% in cash, 25% in immovable property, 10% in Commodities (Kruger Rands, gold) or 15% in Hedge funds within a retirement annuity. But you need not worry as all our funds in the OUTvest Retirement Annuity are Reg 28 compliant.
The intention of Reg 28 is to ensure that investors are not overexposed to unnecessary concentration risk with their retirement money.
Yes, it’s called a Section 14 Transfer and we can assist you with the process. The best part is that this transfer is done tax-free. Please note that due to a number of parties involved in the process these kind of transfers can take some time. But not to worry, we will help you every step of the way.
