Should I withdraw my Sanlam RA early?


Question:

What is the advantage and disadvantage of making RA 'paid up ' at 55years? Should i keep paying into my RA after 55years and not make it paid up? i have a sanlam RA. Are there rules when you make the RA paid up? Thank you.

Answer:

Ramola, It is better to keep saving for as long as you can. If you make the retirement annuity paid up then you will only be receiving the investment return on the capital and not on the capital plus contributions like you currently are. When the retirement annuity is made paid up there may also be penalties applied. Contact Sanlam to find out if there would be any penalties for making the retirement annuity paid up
