Preservation Fund

The Coronation Preservation Pension Fund and Coronation Preservation Provident Fund are suited for people changing employment and who have already built up retirement savings as a prior member of an occupational pension or provident fund.

The purpose of these funds is to preserve the tax deductions previously granted on retirement fund contributions and to continue to grow the value of your retirement assets until retirement. Preserving the tax status will maximise the tax-shield, thus maximising the tax-free retirement lump sum available. These funds are used when there is a change in employment (as a result of retrenchment, resignation or termination) or the closing of an occupational retirement fund.

The Coronation Preservation Funds are flexible, cost-effective and transparent. They are designed to allow you the flexibility to switch between investment options as your circumstances change. We do not charge initial fees, we subsidise our annual administration fee of 0.2% (excluding VAT) and the fees of each of the underlying unit trust funds are fully disclosed

The underlying investment options are Coronation's range of top-performing unit trusts which have consistently delivered strong investment returns since inception. This consistency of investment performance is reflected in Coronation being awarded numerous local and international investment performance accolades.

You can access the assets held in the Coronation Preservation Pension Fund and Coronation Preservation Provident Fund at each fund's stipulated retirement date. One withdrawal, which will be taxed at your average rate, is allowed before retirement.

REGULATION 28 COMPLIANCE

The Coronation Preservation Funds are required to comply with Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act and Exchange Control legislation. Accordingly, the funds require that your investment complies with the following limits: a maximum exposure of 75% of the investment amount to equity investments; 45% to international investments; 25% to property.

Investing in the Balanced Plus Fund is the simplest way to achieve that using Coronation's best investment views.

Coronation Client Services monitor compliance with these limits at the time of your initial investment and on each transaction thereafter.
