The CPUT Retirement Fund is a Defined Contribution arrangement. This means that the benefit you will receive on retirement depends on the contributions that are set aside monthly as your retirement savings and the investment return (positive or negative) earned on this money.

In addition to providing retirement benefits, the Fund also provides resignation, retrenchment, death and disability benefits. The Fund is approved for tax purposes as a Provident Fund. This gives you flexibility because you can decide how much of your benefit you want as a lump sum and/ or pension at retirement.

To learn more about the CPUT Retirement Fund, the trustees have provided useful bi-annual newsletters that inform you about fund benefits; developments in the retirement fund industry, your benefits and investments.
