2. Why Pension Fund?
At some stage in your life you stop working
while you still need enough earnings to
maintain your lifestyle. This stage is called
retirement. In addition to this, during this
time you would ideally like to spend your
time relaxing with family, traveling, and
pursuing other interests which you put aside
earlier owing to your busy work schedule. To
finance all these activities you require savings
that generate a regular income stream. A
Pension Fund (Voluntary Pension Scheme –
VPS) will help you accumulate the savings to
achieve the financial security you desire
after retirement.
We recommend that you start saving and accumulating your pension amount now.
The earlier you start saving, the more you will earn with NAFA Pension Funds till the
time you retire. An illustration of how systematic investing for a longer duration
increases the value of your savings:
