LATEST NEWS AND VIEWS

A nice explanation of the difference/similarities between a pension and provident fund from Old Mutual

A pension fund is a retirement fund that receives frequent contributions (usually monthly) from you and your employer. At retirement, you can access up to one-third of the benefit in cash, and the remaining two-thirds must be used to purchase an income annuity.

A provident fund is the same as a pension fund, but prior to 1 March 2021, it differed in that when you resigned or retired, you could take the entire sum as cash, which you’d be taxed on. You wouldn’t need to purchase an annuity. With the retirement reforms introduced from 1 March 2021, provident funds are now more similar to pension funds, and the following now applies:

  • Fund members are required to take a third of the benefit as a lump sum.
  • They must use the remaining two-thirds to buy a pension that provides a monthly income.
