Old Mutual Life Assurance Kenya
Personal Pension Plan
Personal pension · Regulated by the RBA
A pension you open yourself, not through a job. You pay in what you like, when you like, and the money is invested until you retire.
Hear when this changes
The details that matter for this kind of plan
- Yearly charge

What does it cost you?
| Penalty for taking money out earlywhat you take out | Nothing |
|---|---|
| Yearly charge on your moneyyour savings | 1.25% a year |
What if you stop paying?
Nothing is lost. What you have paid in stays invested and the yearly charge keeps coming off it.
What if you need the money early?
Old Mutual says it charges no penalty. The law still limits when you can take pension money out.
Who this suits
It could work for you if
You do not have a work pension and you want one charge you can see.
Think twice if
You need the money back soon. Pension savings are held until you retire.
