Here's what you need to know: such as the ground rules of building a pension with tax benefits, our terms and conditions, and costs.

Here's what you need to know

Your retirement account is tax-advantaged

When you put money into your retirement account, you get back the tax paid on your deposit. You pay that tax later, when you retire. You don't pay capital gains tax on your pension pot.

With a maximum and your money is fixed

There is a maximum to that tax benefit. Called: annual allowance. You can't touch your pension pot before you retire. Unless you become long-term disabled.

Your investment account is freely withdrawable

You can use the investment account for purposes other than retirement. You can freely withdraw the money in this account each month.

No tax benefit on investment account

On your investment account, you do not receive a tax benefit. Your deposit is not deductible and counts toward your assets in Box 3 (wealth tax).

We invest your money

The target return of the neutral fund is 6% and of the defensive fund is 3.5%. In our view, this is achievable and realistic, but not guaranteed. After all, past returns are no guarantee for the future.

Investing involves risk

The value of investments can rise and fall. We mitigate risk by spreading widely, rebalancing monthly and investing through a lifecycle. But you still face investment risks.
