Keep your family circle and nominee details up to date
The purpose of your retirement savings is to provide you with an income during your retirement. However, it is important to think about how you would want your savings to be allocated in the event that you die before you retire, as your benefit will be shared among those you leave behind.
Who will receive my death benefit?
Each retirement fund has a board of trustees. The trustees are there to protect your best interests. Upon your death, they will consider allocating your death benefit to:
Individuals who are dependent on you or who you support financially, such as a spouse, child or any other person.
Individuals, trusts or legal entities you want the trustees to take into account once your dependants have been considered.
It is important to keep the details of your dependants and nominees updated as they may change over time
Complete and up-to-date information makes the trustee investigation and allocation process easier and faster for your dependants and nominees.
