Reliance Retirement Fund



Reliance Retirement Fund
An open ended notified tax savings cum pension scheme with no assured returns

Why Retirement Planning?

A 30-30 rule of thumb says an individual earns for 30 years, to provide for 30 years of post-retirement life where the individual’s income would have stopped, yet the need to maintain similar life style exists.

You build in the first 30 working years
We all need retirement planning since we…
You enjoy the benefits in the next 30 years…Are you WELL prepared or ILL prepared?

How Retirement Planning?

Two Phases of Retirement Planning
Accumulation Phase
Distribution Phase
Accumulation Challenges
·         You can only save a part of your income…You have expenses to take care of, don’t you?
·         You need that saving to become big enough…To replace your regular income when you retire
·         Your accumulated assets should cover your expenses…Which will grow each year due to inflation
Key Concerns
·        Income should be adequate to maintain lifestyle
·        Inflation should not erode the income or corpus
·        Corpus should not be subjected to high investment risks



Role of Investment

Accumulation Phase
Distribution Phase
You do one part of the job by setting aside as much as you can. Your investments do the other part of the job by appreciating in value over time.
Growth of asset for fighting inflation. Inflation is a silent Killer…Inflation not only reduces the current purchasing power but also increases the savings requirement for future. The current expense will go up by approximately 7 times over next 30 yrs assuming inflation rate of 7% p.a.

 Primary focus on income generation
Enable drawdown without depleting corpus
Mathematics of Accumulation and Distribution
Monthly Investment…You invested Rs. 5000 every month for 30 years
Your Monthly Retirement Annuity

At 7% your retirement assets will grow into Rs.61 lakh. At 15% your assets would have grown to Rs.3.46 crore
If over a 30 year period, the accumulated retirement corpus was Rs. 3.46 cr from a monthly SIP of Rs. 5000 at an assumed rate of 15%, then one can withdraw an annuity of Rs. 3 Lakh per month over next 30 yrs assuming that the corpus would grow at 10% post retirement
