The retirement account is made up of accumulated contributions adjusted by investment returns, less expenses to the date of the statement. This could either increase or decrease in the future depending on investment and operating conditions.

From the 1 March 2015, you may elect when to receive your retirement benefit from the fund/participating employer. This election is only available once you have reached normal retirement age. This means that your retirement benefit will no longer be deemed to accrue when you retire. The date of accrual of your retirement benefit (used for tax purposes) will be the date that you elect to receive your retirement benefit.

5. Important notes

Beneficiary nominations

It is very important that you keep your beneficiary nominations up to date. The unapproved death benefit is paid according to the latest nomination of beneficiary form. This is very different from the way in which a death benefit is paid from your retirement fund. Please see the explanation under Death benefits.

Claims

In the event of a claim, benefits become payable where rules and policy conditions have been met.

Commutation of benefits

From 1 March 2016 the minimum rand threshold (commutation threshold) at which you can take your retirement benefit as a full cash lump sum increased from R75 000 to R247 500 for all retirement funds.
  • This means that if your retirement benefit is R247 500 or less, you will be allowed to take your full retirement benefit (commute) as a cash lump sum. You will not be required to buy an annuity with at least two thirds of this benefit.

Continuation option

Where this is offered, you may, within 60 days of leaving service, if you have at least 12 months service, exercise an option to take out an individual policy without evidence of health, but subject to an HIV test. In this way you can continue applicable risk benefits at your own expense.

Contribution expense basis

The cost of risk benefits and management fees is in addition to the retirement account contributions.

Death benefits

In terms of Section 37C of the Pension Funds Act, benefits payable to beneficiaries from an approved retirement fund/participating employer may be re-apportioned at the discretion of the trustees. If there are no dependants, and there is money in the estate, the payment will be made to the nominated non-dependant beneficiary (if any) and, failing this, to your estate.

Unapproved death benefits are paid according to your latest nomination of beneficiary form in terms of the applicable policy’s terms and conditions.

Fringe Benefits Tax

Please note that from 1 March 2016 all employer contributions will be treated as fringe benefits in the hands of employees, however employees (members) will be able to deduct both their and the employer's contributions up to the revised deductibility limits. Fringe benefits tax will only be payable to the extent that the value of the employer contributions exceed the revised deductible limits.

Illustrative values

The illustrative value reflected is represented in a future money terms. To achieve this, the retirement value calculation assumes a future rate of return of 10% per year i.e. investment returns exceed salary increases (in line with inflation) by 3% per year.

The calculation is for illustrative purposes only and is not guaranteed.

Income tax

Where applicable, benefits will be subject to taxation in terms of current tax laws.

Registered rules

The legal provisions governing your fund/participating employer and the benefits payable are set out in the registered rules of:
Corporate Selection Retirement Fund
The registration number is 12/8/27024/3830
The rules may be inspected at both the offices of your employer as well as the registered office of the fund.
The registered office of the fund administrator is
1 AMESHOFF STREET
BRAAMFONTEIN
2001
The registered office of the fund is as specified in the rules of the fund.

Every precaution has been taken to ensure that the details shown in this document are correct. If the information reflected conflicts with the provision of the rules of the scheme, the fund/participating employer rules will prevail.

Please note that the unapproved benefits are not registered with the Financial Services Board and the product is not approved by the South African Revenue Services. Therefore, premiums in respect of unapproved risk benefits are subject to fringe benefit tax; however the benefit payable is tax-free’.

Underwriting

Medical evidence will be required if your entitled benefit is above the Free Cover Limit of the fund/participating employer.
