What is Private Retirement Scheme Malaysia ?
Are you looking for information on Private Retirement Scheme, PRS? This is the right place to start. As you may have heard, Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) is a voluntary long-term investment
scheme designed to help individuals accumulate savings for retirement estimated around 55 to 60 years old.
PRS seek to enhance choices available for all Malaysians, whether
employed or self-employed, to voluntarily supplement their retirement
savings under a well-structured and regulated environment. Please bear in mind that EPF or KWSP is different as the return of investment from EPF is lower. PRS take place as a second retirement saving but create higher returns for future or high retirement life style. Each PRS
offers a choice of retirement funds from which individuals may choose to
invest in based on their own retirement needs, goals and risk appetite.

segregated from the PRS Provider and held by independent Scheme Trustee
under a trust.

Statistics in 2014 showed the latest data, the average life expected of Malaysians has increased from 55 years of age for men was 75 years and 60 for women has risen to 79 Years? It means there are around 25-29 years to survive. There are many factors contributing to the increase in life expectancy of Malaysians. The main factor is medical qualities.

3 main concerns that many retirees faces at retirement:
- Unable to replace their pre-retirement income during their retirement years. No more monthly income!
- The retirement fund that they have is not enough to last their entire retirement years. After 1-3 years, all EPF or KWSP money is fully utilized for loan settlement, buy a house, buy a new car, son's or daughter's wedding and so on.
- Effect of inflation to their retirement fund. The cost of living 15 to 20 years ago is different.
As a result, these retirees may
- Be dependent on financial support either from their family or the government. Not enough money!
- Outlive their retirement savings. Fully utilized. No more money in saving account. No back up plan!
- Face with an increased cost of living. Expensive and more expensive!
