Preservation Fund

The Coronation Preservation Pension Fund and Coronation Preservation Provident Fund (Coronation Preservation Funds) allow prior members of occupational pension or provident funds to preserve and grow their built-up retirement savings until their desired retirement dates. If, for example, you are changing jobs, or your occupational retirement fund closes down, a preservation fund may be an ideal solution.

HOW IT WORKS

You can make a single investment into a preservation fund from your original retirement fund, or you can transfer from another preservation fund. Note that you cannot make additional or ongoing contributions to a preservation fund once you’re invested.

When you invest, or transfer from another preservation fund, your savings may comprise a Vested Component, a Retirement Lump Sum Component and a Retirement Income Component. You choose the underlying investment options from our list of available funds, and this choice will be applied to all the components of your investment. Access to each component prior to and upon retirement will differ (see our Features and Benefits document for more detail).

When you invest in a preservation fund, you get to keep the tax benefits enjoyed within your original fund. This means that no tax is payable when you invest or transfer from another provider, and your investment returns within the preservation fund continue to grow tax-free.

The Coronation Preservation Funds are flexible, cost-effective and transparent. They are designed to allow you the flexibility to switch between investment options as your circumstances change. We do not charge initial fees or annual administration fees. The only fees payable are the annual management fees applicable to the underlying unit trust funds selected by the investor.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS & REGULATION 28 COMPLIANCE

Your underlying investment options are Coronation’s range of top-performing unit trusts. Note that the Coronation Preservation Funds are required to comply with Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act and Exchange Control legislation. This means that the funds require your investment option to comply with the following limits: a maximum exposure of 75% of the investment amount to equity investments; 45% to international investments; 25% to property.

Investing in Coronation Balanced Plus is the simplest way to achieve that through a single fund that uses Coronation's best investment views for retirement savers. Alternatively you may select from a wide range of Coronation unit trust funds and use our online calculator to ensure that you chose a combination of investment options that complies with these limits.

Coronation Client Services monitor compliance with these limits at the time of your initial investment and on each transaction thereafter.
