Your hard work has paid off. Now, let’s explore the simple and flexible ways you can access your retirement savings.
You’ve arrived at retirement, and it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your savings. The next step is choosing how you’ll receive your pension income. At Parthian Pensions, we’re here to make this decision as simple and clear as possible.
The Nigerian Contributory Pension Scheme gives you two primary ways to receive your monthly pension: Programmed Withdrawal and Retiree Life Annuity. First, let’s talk about the initial step
Before you start receiving monthly payments, this depends on your age and RSA balance, as determined by PenCom’s template. This lump sum is optional, and the remaining balance in your RSA will be used to provide your monthly pension.
After deciding on your lump sum, you will choose one of two paths for your regular income. Let’s break them down simply.
What is Programmed Withdrawal? Think of Programmed Withdrawal (PW) as receiving a regular monthly or quarterly “salary” directly from your RSA, which remains with us at Parthian Pensions. We continue to manage and invest your funds on your behalf, aiming to keep them growing even as you draw from them.
How It Works:
Key Features of Programmed Withdrawal:
What is a Retiree Life Annuity? An Annuity is essentially an insurance policy that guarantees you a regular income for the rest of your life, no matter how long you live. To purchase an Annuity, your remaining RSA balance is transferred to a licensed Life Insurance company of your choice.
How It Works:
Feature Feature | Programmed Withdrawal (with Parthian Pensions)
| Retiree Life Annuity (with an Insurance Company)
|
|---|---|---|
Who Manages Your Funds? | Parthian Pensions | Your chosen Life Insurance Company |
Can My Pension Grow? | Yes, your funds remain invested and can grow. | No, your income is fixed at the start. |
Who Bears Investment Risk? | You, the retiree (payments could fluctuate). | The Insurance Company. |
Can My Family Inherit? | Yes, any remaining balance is paid to your beneficiary. | Only if you pass away within a pre-agreed guaranteed period (e.g., 10 years). |
The best choice depends on your personal circumstances and priorities. Consider these questions:
Are you comfortable with your funds remaining invested for potential growth (Programmed Withdrawal)?
Is it important for you that your beneficiaries inherit any remaining balance (Programmed Withdrawal)?
No. The scheme is designed to provide a steady income throughout your retirement. You can only take a one-time lump sum, with the rest paid out periodically. (Exceptions apply for very small balances, as determined by PenCom).
Yes, you can choose to switch from PW to an Annuity at a later date. However, you cannot switch from an Annuity back to PW.
Typically, you'll need your official retirement/exit letter from your employer, your birth certificate, and a valid means of identification. Our team will provide you with a full checklist.
