Becoming a member of the Ultimate Retirement Income 4life guarantees financial peace of mind, thanks to Assupol’s commitment to providing security through this product.
In addition to its core benefits, Assupol introduces the ‘rewirement’ feature within this plan, empowering members to gradually align their lifestyle and expenses with their retirement goals. More details on ‘rewirement’ will be covered in the following sections.
The Ultimate Retirement Income 4life is Assupol’s retirement solution that ensures a steady income well into retirement. To enrol in this plan, individuals must make a minimum investment of R50,000.00 and be either 55 years old at the time of joining or older than 55 years.
If you’re considering leaving a lasting legacy, you can ensure that your spouse receives 100% of your invested capital with ‘Capital Protection.’ This feature guarantees that up to 100% of your capital will be paid to your chosen beneficiaries in the event of your premature passing.
Unlike the Carefree Life Retirement Annuity
and the Assupol Preservation Funds, the Ultimate Retirement Income 4life offers extensive income at retirement but isn’t as flexible as the two other plans, meaning access to funds is only at death or during retirement.The product is suitable for those that want security throughout their investment period at retirement.
Assupol takes all the liability when it comes to inflation, market performance and other risks that come with investing. This is because when you take out this plan you agree on a retirement income that is guaranteed by Assupol. Income that you opt for may be fixed or paid as a recurring lump sum.
You also have the opportunity to choose what happens to your capital should you die early. This option comes with two guarantees, which are:
The Ultimate Retirement Income 4life plan is more about ensuring that you live a consistently comfortable life financially. It further gives you the opportunity to assure a consistent financial flow for your immediate family.
Rewirement is a feature that allows you to gradually adjust your lifestyle and spending to match your retirement income, rather than a sudden adjustment at your date of retirement.
These adjustments happen when you take out an Ultimate Retirement Income 4life plan which accommodates your current income and works towards achieving your desired retirement income.
With the help of Assupol financial advisors, you will receive a breakdown on how to reach your retirement income. The Rewirement Feature is a progressive adjustment to your monthly income at retirement.
It helps you to avoid choosing a level income or a living annuity whereby the income selected is sufficient in the short term without making adjustments to inflation and other expenses during retirement.
As a new member of the plan, you can choose between the Level income or the Increasing income when taking the plan.
The Level income doesn’t take inflation into consideration as it fails to keep up with it since you start by receiving a high income at retirement, however, that high income remains stagnant during your investment period failing to keep up with inflation.
A good example of the level income option is investing a premium that will provide R1,000.00 per month at retirement. The R1,000.00 income will be fixed during the agreed period of investment.
On the other hand, the increasing income keeps up with inflation with retirement income starting low and increasing at a compounding rate. For example, agreeing to receive R1000.00 per month as income 1st year and thereafter an increase of 2% per annum compounding.
The Rewirement Feature combines the level income and increasing income, which allows you to start off with higher-level income which increases after a few years to keep up with inflation. This borrows you time to adjust your spending at retirement to a level that is satisfactory to your retirement income needs.
The Ultimate Retirement Income 4life plan is a sought after retirement plan for those that are already in retirement or plan to retire. It is a straightforward retirement package that one may look forward to purchasing since it offers income guarantees during retirement. With its restriction on withdrawing or moving your capital, you will need to be thorough when investing in this plan because it is for a lifetime.
