We are on the brink of a pivotal reform in South Africa’s retirement funding system, set to take effect on 1 September 2024. To ensure you are fully prepared and informed, we are excited to share an engaging animated video that breaks down the upcoming Two-Pot Retirement System in simple, easy-to-understand terms.
What is the Two-Pot System? The Two-Pot system is a significant adjustment designed to enhance the way retirement savings are managed in South Africa. It splits retirement contributions into two distinct components:
- Savings Pot: Accessible for emergencies, providing flexibility without compromising long-term retirement goals.
- Retirement Pot: Aimed at securing funds until retirement, ensuring financial stability in your later years.
Who Will It Affect? This system will apply to all retirement fund members, both in the private and public sectors, with important considerations for different age groups.
Special Considerations for Those Over 55: If you are 55 or older as of 1 March 2021, you have the option to choose whether to participate in this new system, offering you greater control over your retirement planning.
This video provides a clear overview of these components, the impact of these changes on your financial planning, and specific details relevant to members over 55.
Please take a moment to watch it as it will serve as a valuable tool in understanding how these changes will affect you and your retirement planning.
