Can I withdraw the full value of my Old Mutual RA?


Question:

What do I do when I want to withdraw the full fund value of an Old Mutual RA while on retirement? I’m over 55 and Old Mutual insists I can only withdraw 1/3rd of the value.

Unfortunately, you are not allowed to withdraw the full value of your Old Mutual RA as a cash lump sum. You may only withdraw one-third as a cash lump sum, with the balance you must purchase an annuity that will pay you a regular monthly income. This is stipulated by South African tax and pension funds law, and is not at Old Mutual’s discretion.
