Maximise your savings with the 10X Preservation Fund

A Preservation Fund is a tax-free investment vehicle designed for individuals who wish to invest the proceeds of their company-sponsored retirement plan in an efficient manner.

You may transfer the proceeds of your pension or provident fund into a preservation fund in the event you are dismissed, retrenched, or you resign. Doing so preserves both your accumulated savings and the attached tax benefits. You can invest the proceeds from different pension or provident funds in either one or multiple preservation funds.

Cashing your pension even once can set you back years in savings growth, therefore, preserving your retirement savings is a smart decision that will be rewarded.

The 10X Preservation Fund offers low fees and superior returns, which means you could get up to 60% more money at retirement.
