Simplifying Retirement Planning the Easy Way 🤙

Written by Carel Nolte | Sep 18, 2023 4:00:00 AM

One can save for retirement in a variety of ways.

And one thing is certain – if you don’t, you will be dependent on family and friends when you are old and at your most vulnerable. So it is vital to consider the best way for you to maximise what you will have available to live on when you are retired and no longer able to work.

If you are at a large company, there is a strong likelihood that your employer deducts part of your salary each month and pays that over into a fund. That fund may even be administered by RISE EasyRetire and our clever team may in fact be responsible for managing the assets and working hard to get your best returns. Regardless of who the fund administrators and asset managers are, you are strongly encouraged – via your trustees – to engage with the fund and to make sure that you are happy with what is being done with YOUR money.

If you are entrepreneur or part-time worker, you may be saving each month for retirement using any of your EasyEquities wallets. The RA wallet has some tax benefits and a variety of unit trusts and bundles from RISE EasyRetire, Coronation, Satrix, Allan Gray and many other well-known brands. And in the other wallets you can access shares and ETFs both locally and internationally.

Seeing a gap between the two groups, EasyEquities launched the Easy Umbrella Fund (EUF).

The EUF is a multi-employer umbrella fund administered and managed by RISE EasyRetire. What this means is that a number of (smaller) employers can join the fund and not worry about the complexities of managing a stand-alone retirement scheme. Retirement deductions are paid over to the fund and is administered and managed by professional trustees in a safe, secure, transparent way. All employees can see their part of the fund daily, and also access many other EasyEquities wallets.

With EUF you have:
