Two-Pot Retirement System explained: Alvinah Thela

The Two-Pot Retirement System is scheduled to take effect on 1 March. There are new rules for the system which include that retirement fund members can only withdraw up to R25 000 of their existing savings.
There is still time for the public to comment as the deadline is the close of business on July 15.
The system has generated a number of questions and concerns so we will get you as much clarity as possible and to do that, we are joined by Alvinah Thela, Director of the tax and financial sector policy division at the National Treasury.

    Many folks struggling to cover basic expenses often face this challenge because they didn't save enough during their working years. The choices made in preparing for retirement have significant impacts, as seen in my own family. Different investment strategies led to different outcomes. With guidance from a financial advisor, I'm now enjoying my retirement.

    Yes, I'm in my mid-50s, and a few years back, I moved my investments to my wife's wealth manager. While I haven't caught up to her long-term gains, my current earnings and the growth of my retirement fund, compared to just relying on the 401(k), are pretty satisfying.

    It's a shame that many don't have this information, leading to anxiety. For me, I've made over $35k effortlessly with an advisor, consistently getting returns despite economic changes - the best part is, it doesn't demand much effort.

    With a ceiling limit of 25k would provide the much needed relief. This is merely protecting the vesred interest of the pension funds period. Also we hv to take into account the tax deduction. The ceiling should be 500k which is presently within the zero tax table threshold, hence providing much relief.

    If I am not mistaken the 25k will go into the savings pot for a person to dip into once a year, the 3rd pot the lady referred to is where a person may take 1/3 of one's pension fund saved up to 1 March 2024, in my understanding the 25k in the savings pot will be there to start off the savings pot and won't be the amount the max amount that a person may take

    It sounds like that's the whole idea! You will get what's in your vested pot ( ie. What's in your pension Before this 3 pot system started in March 2024) , you can access what's in your savings pot ONCE a year (provided you have not less than R2000 in there) and you'll only access the money in your retirement pot when you reach retirement age (2 thirds or 67% of your monthly pension contributions will be accumulating here from 01/03/2024).

    Considdering citizens near to retirement age. Will they have a choice of changing to 3 pot system. If 3 years away from retirement wont it be betrer to keep 1 pot for optimal growth? After 1 Sept, little contributions will be made to 2 pots which negatively impact growth and make this option worthless. Rather choose 1 Sept as the change date of the pension system. Allow current members the option to choose but new members to participate in new system. Forcing members close to retirement age to change system will affect the growth and outcome negatively.
