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.

What does it cost you?

Penalty for taking money out earlywhat you take outNothing
Yearly charge on your moneyyour savings1.25% 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.

What they tell you

  • What do they charge you every year?
    1.25% a year, taken from your savings.
  • What does it cost to get out early?
    They print a 0% penalty but never say for how long it applies.
  • How long is your money tied up?
    Not at all. You can take it out whenever you want.
  • Do they say who regulates them?
    Yes — the RBA. That is who you complain to.
