Ensuring that retirement is planned for is vital, especially for those who are self-employed or are working in a company that does not provide a pension. Otherwise, they will end up becoming one of the vast number of people who can not maintain a decent standard of living in retirement, thus negating a lifetime’s work.
EFU offers the Executive Pension Plan to suit your circumstances to help you achieve financial independence in retirement.

Your contributions will buy units in the EFU Managed Growth Fund. The Fund is managed by experts who will adjust the mix of the underlying investments in the light of economic conditions and investment opportunities.
A Range of Benefit Options
You will be able to choose how to take your benefits from a whole range of options. During the plan term, you may select to withdraw your full or partial fund value. At maturity you have the option to withdraw the fund value as a lump sum amount, or you may select an income to be paid for your lifetime with payments guaranteed for 10 years as shown in the illustration above.
