The Multi-Fund Structure helps your retirement savings work smarter for you. Let’s explore how.
Think of the Multi-Fund Structure as a way to make your pension savings work best for you. Introduced by the National Pension Commission (PenCom), it allows your Retirement Savings Account (RSA) to be invested in different “Funds” based on your age, how much risk you’re comfortable with, and how close you are to retirement
Significantly boost the total funds available to you at retirement, leading to a more comfortable lifestyle..
Younger individuals can often take on more investment risk for potentially higher returns, while those closer to retirement may prefer to protect their savings.
By aligning your investments with your age and risk appetite, there’s a greater potential to grow your savings effectively over the long term.
Your RSA is placed into one of six funds. Some are default based on your age, while others are choices you can actively make. Each fund has a different investment mix, balancing potential growth with risk.
Fund | Who is it for | How it works | Risk Level | Goals |
---|---|---|---|---|
Fund I: Aggressive Growth (Active Choice) | RSA holders aged 49 and below who are comfortable with higher risk for potentially higher long-term returns. | You must actively choose to join this fund. It invests more in variable instruments (like shares) that can offer higher growth. | Higher. Suitable if you have a long time until retirement. | Maximize long-term returns. |
Fund II: Balanced Growth (Default for Younger Savers) | This is the default fund for RSA holders aged 49 and below; however, clients above 50 years of age with a high-risk appetite, who are not retired, may also participate in this fund. | Offers a balanced approach, investing in a mix of growth assets (like shares) and more stable, fixed-income assets. | Medium. Aims for steady growth over time. | Achieve competitive returns while managing risk. |
Fund III: Conservative Growth (Default for Older Savers) | This is the default fund for RSA holders aged 50 and above | Focuses more on protecting your savings as you get closer to retirement by investing more in lower-risk, fixed- income assets. | Lower to Medium. Aims to preserve capital and provide stable returns. | Safeguard accumulated savings while still aiming for some growth. |
Fund IV: Retirement Fund (For Retirees) | RSA holders who are retired and drawing their pension through Programmed Withdrawal. | This fund is very conservative, designed to protect your savings and provide a steady income during retirement. It has minimal exposure to high-risk investments. | Lowest. Focuses on capital preservation and income generation. | Provide stable, regular income in retirement. |
Fund V: Micro Pension Fund (For the Informal Sector) | Self-employed individuals and those in the informal sector participating in the Micro Pension Plan. | Offers flexible contributions and a conservative investment approach to protect savings. Allows for contingent withdrawals. | Low. Designed for capital preservation and accessibility. | Encourage savings and provide financial security for micro- entrepreneurs. |
Fund VI: Non-Interest Fund (Active Ethical Choice) | RSA holders (both active contributors and retirees) who want their pension contributions invested in line with non- interest (Shari'ah- compliant) finance principles. | You must actively choose this fund. Investments are made in ethical, Shari'ah- compliant, and non- interest-bearing assets. | Varies based on asset allocation within ethical guidelines (can include variable instruments like Sharia-compliant shares). | Provide competitive returns while adhering to non-interest financial principles. |
• If you are under 50, you are typically placed in Fund II.
• When you turn 50, you are usually moved to Fund III to adopt a more conservative strategy as you approach retirement.
• Upon retirement (and choosing Programmed Withdrawal), your funds move to Fund IV.
• Want higher growth potential (under 50)? You can request to move from Fund II to Fund I.
• Prefer lower risk (over 50)? If you are in Fund III but prefer the strategy of Fund II, you can request to move back (subject to PenCom rules).
• Want ethical, non-interest investments? You can choose to move your savings into Fund VI at any time (if eligible).
• Switching between eligible funds within Parthian Pensions is straightforward. You can typically make a request once every 12 months free of charge. Contact us or log in to your online account for more details.
Choosing the right fund depends on your personal circumstances:
Generally, the younger you are, the more growth-oriented your fund can be.
How comfortable are you with potential ups and downs in your investment value?
While we can’t provide personal financial advice, we are here to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision.
The Multi-Fund Structure is designed by PenCom to help you get the most from your pension.
Your fund choice can impact your retirement savings.
You have the option to switch between eligible funds (usually once a year).
