INVESTMENT ACCOUNT

An investment account is ideal for saving towards a medium to long-term goal.

You may contribute once-off lump sums, regular monthly debit orders or a combination of the two. Income and realised capital gains arising on your investment account are taxable in your hands.  We will issue tax certificates each year.
The value of your regular monthly contributions can be increased by a chosen percentage each year. You can stop and start your regular contributions at any time. No minimum investment amount or period applies.
Withdrawals can be made at any time. You can withdraw some, or all of your investment. You can also setup a regular payment back to your bank account. Ownership of your investment account can be transferred. The transfer will be subject to CGT, unless it is a transfer between spouses.

TAX FREE SAVINGS ACCOUNT

A tax free savings account (TFSA) is a tax-efficient way to save for a long-term savings goal.

Contributions can be made by once-off lump sum or regular monthly contributions. You can have more than one TFSA in your name, although it is not recommended as the penalties for over-contribution (even accidental) are onerous.
Contributions to all of your tax free savings accounts are limited to R36 000 per year (i.e. R3 000 per month) and a lifetime contribution limit of R500 000. You can save for as long as you want. There is no minimum or maximum investment period.
Withdrawals do not ‘restore’ your annual or lifetime allowances. E.g. if you contribute R36 000 in June and withdraw it all in January, you may not contribute any more for that tax year and your lifetime contribution limit will have been permanently reduced by R36 000. Clients do not pay tax on capital gains, interest and dividends. Withdrawals can be made at any time and are tax free.

OFFSHORE INVESTMENT ACCOUNT

AN OFFSHORE INVESTMENT ACCOUNT ALLOWS YOU TO DIVERSIFY YOUR ASSETS BY GAINING EXPOSURE TO MORE THAN ONE INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY.

Choice of six international currencies: United States Dollar, British Pound, Hong Kong Dollar, Australian Dollar, Swiss Franc and Euro. The joint account feature allows for the investment account to be jointly owned by two or more individuals (maximum four).
There is no minimum investment amount or term. You can contribute as much as you like for as long as you like. Where there are joint holders, upon the death of one of the holders, the process to obtain Jersey Grant of Probate (JGOP) is not required.
There are no limitations on the number and value of withdrawals which may be taken. We do not impose any penalties when you want to make a partial or full withdrawal. We provide you with the necessary tax information. Realised capital gains and losses are reported in Rands making your SARS eFiling easy.

PRESERVATION FUND

A preservation fund is a tax-efficient investment used to preserve retirement savings.

You may transfer your retirement savings into a preservation fund from other eligible pension or provident funds. However, you may not deposit cash or use a recurring debit order to add money into your preservation fund.

LIVING ANNUITY

A living annuity provides a regular income from retirement savings.

You can choose how often you receive your income, and can select from a monthly, quarterly, bi-annual or annual payment. Changes may be made once a year in the anniversary month of the start date of your living annuity. You may not withdraw from your living annuity in addition to your annuity income unless the value of the policy is below the legislated minimum amount.
You decide in advance how much income you require during the year, but you must remain within the legal limits, currently between 2.5% and 17.5% of your investment value. You may nominate beneficiaries to receive any money left in your living annuity when you pass away.
You may add to your living annuity from any existing, qualifying retirement savings. This product may not be suitable for retirees who require a guaranteed income for life.
