Prepare for a certain future with an income during retirement.

We often need to balance two key priorities during retirement – the desire to have a flexible yet controlled growth of our income and the need to ensure that we have enough funds to support us through the rest of our golden years. That’s why Liberty has developed an Income Draw Down product ideally suited to balancing these two priorities. It offers you the potential to manage and grow your wealth so that you can enjoy your retirement.

What is the Income Draw Down?

An Income Drawdown is essentially an investment product that provides you with an income from your retirement savings. It gives you the flexibility to choose your income each year and how you want your money invested.

 

Who can apply?

The product is available to individuals retiring from a retirement fund which allows an Income Drawdown as a retirement option. You will be the owner of the policy. The minimum entry age is 50 years and the maximum entry age is 80 years.

 

How much I can invest?

The minimum single purchase premium amount will be KSh. 2million. Additional ad-hoc premium can be made whilst the policy is in force, with a minimum amount of KSh. 300,000

 

When can I draw income?

The minimum drawdown period allowable is ten years from the day of commencement of the living annuity.

After ten years, you can exercise the following options:
- The Income Drawdown arrangement can be continued (this is the default),
- The investment value can be used to purchase a life annuity, or
- The investment value can be converted into a cash lump sum for the member to withdraw (less any applicable taxes)

Once every year on the policy anniversary, you can opt to vary the drawdown income percentage to adjust to your personal income needs, the past performance of the underlying assets and the amount remaining in the fund (but not exceeding the maximum allowable drawdown percentage).

 

How are the funds invested?

Your premiums will be invested into either the Liberty Conservative Portfolio or the Liberty Balanced Portfolio. The Conservative Portfolio aims to give a low risk stable investment return whereas the Balanced Portfolio will give a moderate risk and slightly stable investment.
