Tahaffuz

How well one saves and invests today, will make all the difference tomorrow between having to work and choosing to work. There is no better time than the present, to plan for what should be the best years of one's life – retirement. Retirement planning makes the difference between being dependent or independent, financially.

By the time one retires, costs of living increase substantially, making the most basic commodities costlier, medical costs doubled and more.

Standard Chartered Bank (Pakistan) Limited presents Tahaffuz, an ideal whole of life retirement plan, underwritten by EFU Life Assurance Ltd. Tahaffuz offers complete flexibility and peace of mind, not only while saving for retirement but also after retirement.

Avail of the unique benefits attached to Tahaffuz:

  • Early Retirement:
    Tahaffuz offers an added sense of security through this option. At the start of the plan, customer may opt for a retirement age between the age of 60 and 70 years. But there may be an emergency that requires one to dip into the retirement accumulation and hence the 'early retirement' option is available. This option starts from age 45 years and is available up to age 60 years.
    At 'Early Retirement' the customer may withdraw 25 % of the retirement fund in lump sum and use the remaining 75 % to buy a pension stream of his choice. This option can be availed five years after the policy inception.
  • Unit Accumulation and Investment Fund:
    Every contribution in Tahaffuz is invested in an internal investment fund of EFU Life called the 'EFU Managed Growth Fund'. The contributions are utilised to buy units of the fund at the prevailing offer price. The objective of the fund is to maximise capital growth by investing in a balanced portfolio, spread across a wide range of shares, government and other fixed interest securities and cash. The fund is managed by investment experts, who adjust the mix of the underlying investments in light of economic conditions and investment opportunities.
  • Income Linked Adjustment:
    Tahaffuz takes into account the fact that the income of the assured customer will increase with time due to career progression as well as inflationary factors. Thus one can plan by starting the Retirement Plan with a lower annual contribution and increase it over the term of the plan.
    The plan gives an option to the customer to increase his annual contribution every 3 years by 25 %.
    The increasing contribution will ensure that the fund value accumulates at a faster pace and the fund available at retirement is sufficient to provide a higher monthly pension. The increasing premium will not affect the sum assured.
