A dream of having enough money to give up that day job permanently and do whatever you want all day.<\/p>\n<p>For the majority, this happens after retirement. That age when you\u2019re financially stable enough to give up working. The more cynical would say that you\u2019ve saved enough money to last the rest of your life.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, you\u2019re going to need to start saving for that moment. Despite this, the Employers Provident Fund (EPF) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/44-malaysian-workers-are-not-covered-by-any-retirement-scheme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">noted in 2016<\/a> that 44% of the Malaysian workforce does not have any sort of retirement scheme.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why-is-retirement-saving-crucial\"><\/span>Why is retirement saving crucial?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Malaysian law specifies that the minimum retirement age should be no less than 60 years old. This applies to all of the private sector, although there is nothing in the <a href=\"https:\/\/jtksm.mohr.gov.my\/images\/kluster-warnawarni\/akta-borang\/akta-peraturan\/SENARAI%20AKTA_2020\/Akta%20Umur%20Persaraan%20Minimum%202012%20(Akta%20753)\/001%20-%20Act%20753-7_11_2016_bi.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minimum Retirement Age Act 2012<\/a> that prevents companies from allowing people to keep working after that age.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you are not going to be locked in the workforce forever. That\u2019s a key part of the modern social contract. We all do our time contributing to the advancement of the economy and are then rewarded with enough savings to spend our golden years pursuing leisure activities.<\/p>\n<p>The caveat of this is that you have actually been preparing for that moment when you are able to enjoy the decades of your hard work.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/malaysia\/WP1_Malaysia_2050_-_Economically_Productive_and_Socially_Inclusive.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent study<\/a> by the United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF) had some eye-opening statistics for those who are nearing retirement age in the next few decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2000, for every senior citizen, there were more than 16 of the working-age population to support him or her. However, in 2050, a senior will have only four people of the working-age population to support him or her,\u201d said Dr Amjad Rabi, senior social policy specialist with Unicef Malaysia on the survey findings.<\/p>\n<p>For many who are gainfully employed today looking to retire in 20 to 30 years, the implications will impact how they support themselves in their golden years.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-much-is-enough\"><\/span>How much is enough?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Malaysian government enforces a savings programme through the EPF. The programme that employees pay a portion of their wages into the fund; which is then matched by the employer.<\/p>\n<p>The EPF itself is then required to manage this fund in order to grow the savings. The fund was originally intended to provide a minimum annual dividend of 2.5% (back in 1952 when it was first started), but has since surpassed that number each year.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the fund has averaged around 5.5% over the last 10 years resulting in increasing contributors\u2019 savings by a sizeable amount.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the reality is that over three quarters of EPF&#8217;s contributors are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nst.com.my\/opinion\/columnists\/2018\/01\/323937\/self-funding-your-retirement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">earning less than RM2,000<\/a> per month while another 15 percent bring home between RM2,000 and RM5,000. That leaves only the top 10 percent earning more than RM5,000 per month to have any realistic chance of hitting a sustainable nest egg by the time they retire.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the retirement savings goal set by the EPF is RM240,000. This is assuming that the person is planning to retire at the age of 55 and will live for another 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>Having a goal is nice and all, but the reality is that RM240,000 is unlikely to be able to allow anyone to live comfortably for two whole decades. After all, it translates into only RM12,000 a year. That\u2019s actually lower than the minimum wage.<\/p>\n<p>EPF also reported that only 18% of its members can actually meet minimum savings targets in their account by 55.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, the intention is that you will have other means of supplementing this number. Be it through passive income streams or through alternative private savings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Private-Retirement-Schemes\"><\/span>Private Retirement Schemes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One method for retirement savings is through a Private Retirement Scheme. This is comparable to a fixed deposit account, with the only difference being that the financial institution is actively managing the fund for you. The scheme is managed with the aim of giving higher returns despite most PRS brochures providing estimates that are comparable to fixed deposits.<\/p>\n<p>The core principle of getting people to start saving through a PRS is compound interest.<\/p>\n<p>Compound interest is where your money grows due to interest payments from the interest you already collected. This accumulates over a long period of time, and then leads to substantial earnings that will be ready for you to use when you\u2019re ready to retire.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-1160\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-1160\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><th class=\"column-2\">3% returns<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Initial savings<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">RM100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">After one year<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">RM103<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">After two years<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">RM106.09<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">After 10 years<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">RM134<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-1160 from cache -->\n<p>Of course, this also means that you need to be getting the most out of your interest payments; this doesn\u2019t always mean the highest interest rates. Lower rates could mean lower risks, which is sometimes better for long term investments.<\/p>\n<p>You should also remember to keep investing these in savings on your own; using the compound interest as a reward for saving so much.<\/p>\n<p>For example, CIMB-Principal PRS Plus offers interest rates of up to 8% per annum (as quoted in its brochure). Under this scheme, a monthly savings contribution of just RM250 compounds to RM367,040 after 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, investing the amount into a fixed deposit amount with the highest interest rate (usually 4%) only reaches RM174,985.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s unrealistic to expect 8% dividends every year. After all, the markets can be volatile and there is always the risk of making a loss. On the other hand, very few people are able to get high interest rates on regular savings accounts. That 4% is the best case scenario, and usually requires quite a large initial savings amount upfront.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Principal-Asset-Management-Berhad-formerly-CIMB-Principal-Asset-Management\"><\/span>Principal Asset Management Berhad\u00a0<em>(formerly CIMB-Principal Asset Management)<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So where do the PRS returns come from? In most cases, from careful investment of the funds.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is that you can leave it to a group of experienced asset managers to take care of your money. You have the option to choose a more hands on approach; picking and choosing your own portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>Principal Asset Management offers these two paths to potential customers. The Do-It-Myself path allows customers to choose from a range of funds offered by both CIMB-Principal PRS Plus and CIMB Islamic PRS Plus.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the Do-It-For-Me path offers a narrower range of choices. However, it is fully managed by a team of experts. This option is recommended for those with little investing experience, or just want a much simpler path to retirement savings.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional savings alone are not likely to be enough to live on in your retirement; so it\u2019s helpful to think of having a PRS as a safety net.<\/p>\n<h5><div class=\"block\"><div>DISCLAIMER: The following Disclosure Documents have been duly registered with the Securities Commission Malaysia (\u201cSC\u201d): CIMB-Principal PRS Plus First Replacement Disclosure Document dated 31 July 2014 and its First Supplemental Disclosure Document dated 2 March 2015 and CIMB Islamic PRS Plus First Replacement Disclosure Document (Shariah-compliant Private Retirement Scheme) dated 31 July 2014 and its First Supplemental Disclosure Document (Shariah-compliant Private Retirement Scheme) dated 2 March 2015 (collectively refers as \u201cDisclosure Documents\u201d).
