Key features of a PRSA Include:
PRSAs are owned by the individual, which means that the account is portable. If you change jobs, you can take your PRSA with you.
Both individuals and employers can contribute to a PRSA. Contributions are invested, and the value of the fund depends on the performance of these investments.
PRSA holders can choose from a range of investment funds offered by the PRSA provider. These funds may include options like equity funds, bond funds, and cash funds. The investment strategy can be tailored to the individual's risk tolerance and retirement goals.
Contributions to a PRSA may qualify for tax relief, subject to certain limits. This tax relief can make it more attractive for individuals to save for retirement through a PRSA.
When the individual reaches retirement age, they have several options for using the funds accumulated in their PRSA. These options may include taking a lump sum, purchasing an annuity, or opting for an Approved Retirement Fund (ARF) or Approved Minimum Retirement Fund (AMRF).
