An investment provident fund is a liquid savings instrument, available to each and every one. The annual deposit limit of an investment provident fund is today set at NIS 72,616 per person and is updated every year. The amount of the deposit can be increased according to the number of members of your family.
The investment provident fund allows you to withdraw the accrued amount at any age – while paying tax on the profits accrued. An investment provident fund’s unique advantage over similar investment channels such as trust funds, a financial policy or portfolios is that an investment provident fund allows you to receive a tax-exempt pension, as long as you saved money in the fund until you reached the age of 60, and decided to redeem the amount as a monthly pension.
Provident funds differ from one another in the amount of the management fees they collect and in the return they produce on their investments. You should remember that a provident fund is a mid- and long-term savings instrument, and it is highly recommended to review the fund’s performance over time rather than in the short run. What significant advantages does the investment provident fund offer?
It is a constantly liquid fund
The accrued capital can be redeemed at any moment and at any age, with no fines or fees. If you indeed redeem the amount, you will have to pay tax on the profits accrued, at a real rate of 25%.
You can make monthly deposits or one-time deposits up to an annual limit of 72,000 shekels. The money can be deposited into several provident funds at different companies concurrently, as long as you do not exceed the annual deposit limit.
For example: A family of 4 people can open an investment provident fund for each family member and deposit up to 288,000 shekels per year. If parents open an investment provident fund under the name of their children, they can issue instructions in that provident fund until the children reach the age of 21, but will not be able to redeem the money themselves.
The information is available and can be found on the provident funds’ websites and on the Ministry of Finance’s Gemel-Net website, and you can keep up to speed on returns, investment channels and the amount you have accrued.
