A Guide to Private Retirement Scheme: Why Everyone Needs to Know About PRS

Did you know that according to the Employee Provident Fund (EPF), only 4% of Malaysians can actually afford to retire?

You’ve probably heard about retirement on the news or from your family. But it’s not just a far-off idea; it’s how you can achieve financial freedom. With inflation soaring and the cost of living on the rise, experts now say you should aim for at least RM1 million to retire comfortably. Sounds like a lot, right? Don’t worry; we’ve got your back!

Meet the Private Retirement Scheme (PRS). 🎉

What’s PRS, You Ask?

Well, it’s not as complicated as it might sound. PRS is like the sidekick to your trusty EPF. It’s a voluntary investment plan that helps you save up for your golden years while giving you more control over your financial destiny.

How does it work?

We’ve teamed up with the experts at AHAM Capital to offer you six exciting PRS funds, catering to your preferences and risk appetite:

  • AHAM PRS Conservative Fund (PRS Conservative)
  • AHAM PRS Moderate Fund (PRS Moderate)
  • AHAM PRS Growth Fund (PRS Growth)
  • AHAM Aiiman PRS Shariah Conservative Fund (PRS Conservative-i)
  • AHAM Aiiman PRS Shariah Moderate Fund (PRS Moderate-i)
  • AHAM Aiiman PRS Shariah Growth Fund (PRS Growth-i)

You can choose to invest in one or more of these funds!

Every contribution you make will be divided into two accounts:

  • 70% goes into Sub-Account A, which you can withdraw when you hit retirement age or if you leave Malaysia.
  • 30% goes into Sub-Account B, available for withdrawal once per calendar year, subject to an 8% tax penalty on the pre-retirement withdrawal sum.
