The Retirement Savings Plan (PER) has become an essential tool for preparing for retirement in France. Designed to offer greater flexibility and attractive tax advantages, the PER is attracting a growing number of savers. This article aims to demystify PER for beginners, explaining its fundamentals, its benefits, the different options available, and how toeffectively integrate into an overall retirement planning strategy.
Understanding the PER: basic principles
The Retirement Savings Plan (PER) is a long-term savings system designed for retirement preparation. It is characterized by its flexibility both in terms of payments and investment choices. Savers have the option of making regular or one-off payments, depending on their financial capacity. The PER is divided into two main categories: the individual PER, accessible to all, and the company PER, offered by the employer.
Each type of PER has specific characteristics, but both aim to build up capital or an annuity for retirement. The funds invested in the PER are blocked until retirement, except in cases of early release provided by law, such as the purchase of the main residence. This long-term savings allows you to build up substantial capital, thanks to the cumulative effect of payments and compound interest.
PER tax advantages
The PER offers significant tax advantages. Payments made to an individual PER can be deducted from the saver’s taxable income, within the limit of an annual ceiling. This tax deduction makes the PER particularly attractive for taxpayers seeking to optimize their taxation. Upon retirement, the accumulated capital can be recovered in the form of an annuity or capital, depending on the saver’s preferences.
The options for exiting the PER into an annuity or capital offer distinct tax advantages, which must be carefully assessed according to the saver’s personal situation. In addition, in the event of transfer of capital following the death of the saver, the PER presents significant inheritance advantages.
Investment options and risk management
The PER offers a range of investment options suited to different risk profiles. Savers can choose between euro funds, which offer capital security but with generally lower returns, and unit-linked funds, which can offer higher returns but with a risk of capital loss. The selection of investment vehicles must be aligned with the saver’s risk profile, investment horizon and financial objectives.
It is recommended diversify investments within the PER to balance risk and return potential. Active portfolio management, adjusting investment choices according to market developments and personal circumstances, is essential to maximize the benefits of the PER.
