A retirement annuity is an investment that helps you save for retirement. It offers significant tax advantages over other investment vehicles to encourage saving. You can use it as your main investment for retirement or in addition to your employer's retirement fund.
Features of a retirement annuity
Your investment growth is tax-free and can be deductible from your taxable income.
You cannot withdraw your savings until age 55, which means that you preserve your savings for retirement.
There are regulatory guidelines on where you can invest your retirement savings and there is no guarantee of investment performance.
There are fees that apply to your investment. Speak to your financial adviser for a detailed quote.
