Use our checklist below to understand your pension plan at PFA. Depending on where you are in life and how long you have been making pension contributions, there are different things you need to be aware of. 

Do you have adequate insurance cover?

Your pension plan typically includes different types of insurance that cover you in case of illness or injury. Like other types of insurance, the cover provided by your insurance plans at PFA need to match your life. You can find assistance here.

Have you got the right investment profile?

The money you pay into your pension will be invested so that your savings can grow over time. Investments are first and foremost about having a sense of security, and everyone’s risk tolerance varies. Therefore, you need to determine what makes you feel secure.

Find your risk profile

How much do you need to save for your retirement?

This is a hard question because your retirement may be many years away and it will depend on the sort of life you want to have as a pensioner. However, we can help you with a prognosis so that you can get a sense of what you will receive based on your payments. Generally, our recommendation is to start by paying in to your pension as early in life as possible.

Do your savings match your dreams?

It is a good idea to check the status of your savings once in a while, so that you can make adjustments if necessary. Even if your retirement may be a far away, you are in the process of establishing long-term savings, so it is a good idea to check every few years and see how much you will have when you retire.

Are you saving up in different ways?

For most people, the pension savings is the most important payout when they retire, but it is a good idea to save in different ways. For example, this could include cash in your bank account, your own investments or equity in your home. With a broader savings plan, you will have more options to optimise your payouts.

Do your insurance plans still match your life?

As life changes, you should also check your insurance plans. There is a big difference on how you should be covered if you get married or divorced, if you have kids or if you are alone. If you have excess insurance cover, you will have less money for your savings, and if your cover is not a good fit with your life, you will not get the most out of your insurance plans. You must be particularly attentive to your insurance plans if you have children.

Will your pension economy turn out the way you want?

If you are over 55, then you should start taking stock of your overall assets so that you can adjust the pension payment and other savings if needed. This is also when you can start looking to see how your money will be paid out when you eventually stop working.
    

 
Asset overview

Your pension economy is not just about your pension savings, but about all your assets. You may have other savings, investments and equity in your home. This is all part of the overall calculation, and a good financial overview will make it easier for you to plan your life after work.

Payout plan

The order in which you use your assets once you retire matters. You can optimise your money so that it has a greater impact and lasts longer. The optimal order depends on an assessment of your needs, the potential return from your assets, tax matters and the relationship with public benefits.

Are your savings sufficient?

If you are under age 55, you should focus on your savings and whether they are sufficient to fulfil your expectations of retirement.
  

Your pension estimate reflects your prospects for the future 

The Pension Estimate indicates whether your savings are sufficient.

For example, if your Pension Estimate is 80, you can expect to have approximately 80 per cent of your present salary at your disposal for 20 years from the day you retire.

In order for your future living standard to approximately match the one
you have today, we recommend that your Pension Estimate is 80.

Your savings plan points you in the right direction

Your Pension Estimate can be regarded as a compass which you can use to
steer by: If your prospects for the future do not match your wishes, you should
change course.

Using the savings plan at My PFA makes it easy for you to see how it will affect
your future if you pay just a little more to your pension plan each month, or if
you postpone your retirement a few years.
