Retirement Annuities

Invest in the future you, now!

Thinking about getting older and how you’re going to maintain your lifestyle can seem like a lot to digest. So we’ve created retirement solutions that are anything but vanilla. Easily invest with as much as you can afford right now in an RA that rocks returns, so that you are ready to rock retirement.

Why RA’s Float our Boat

Ours are easy to access and manage as part of your portfolio, are super cheap and require no minimum investment. Yes please!

There’s less for the tax man and more for you. All returns and income are tax free within the RA.

They help keep your hands out of the cookie jar. Because your funds are ring-fenced for a fixed term, you can’t tap into them beforehand.

Who Should Invest in an Easy RA?

Technically anyone can invest in an RA. Having said that they are considered a really good investment choice if you:

  • Are interested in maximising on tax benefits to increase your investment potential
  • Are employed at an organisation that doesn’t currently offer you a pension or provident fund
  • Want to add a little boost to your current savings for retirement
  • Are self-employed

How do I transfer my RA?

There are a few simple steps to follow to transfer your RA from your current provider to EasyEquities. The RA transfer to EasyEquities can only be a cash transfer (not a unit transfer), which means you cannot transfer your existing investments (units) within your RA. You would need to liquidate your investments (units) in the RA and then transfer the cash. Your current provider may levy fees for the transfer so please check with them first.

The transfer process can take quite a few weeks to complete, depending on your current provider. As soon as we receive instruction from your current provider we will notify you accordingly.

Transfer Steps

  1. You first need to activate your EasyEquities RA and accept the T&Cs.
  2. Then head to our Wealth portal here and cruise over to the Transfer section and fill out the transfer form.
  3. We’ll guide you through it and take care of it all with your current provider! - Easy

© EasyEquities. EasyEquities is a product of First World Trader (Pty) Ltd t/a EasyEquities which is an authorized Financial Services Provider (FSP number 22588). All trades on the EasyEquities platform are subject to the legal terms and conditions to which you agree to be bound. The EasyEquities platform enables users to invest in securities which includes whole shares and fractional share rights (FSRs). EasyEquities acts as an agent for the issue of whole shares, where the investor is the registered owner of those shares, entitled to dividends, participation in corporate actions and all the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership.

In respect of FSRs, EasyEquities acts as principal to a contract for difference issued to the investor, where the investor will have a contractual claim against EasyEquities to the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership (price movements and dividends) without having ownership rights in the underlying share. Fractional share rights (FSRs) which are issued through a contract for difference, are an over the counter derivative. Unlike whole shares, FSRs do not carry any voting rights. As the investor makes further investments in FSRs and ultimately ends up with a whole share, the contract for difference is closed out and ownership whole share is delivered to the investor.

The availability of any share on the EasyEquities platform is based on various factors but is not an indication of value and does not mean that any share is an appropriate investment for you.

The availability of any share on the browse shares page does not necessarily indicate any contractual relationship between EasyEquities and the listed company, or the payment of fees for services.
