you will have various options on retirement

if you take the 1.5 x Salary the rest has to be put in an annuity

the alternative is to take 25% of your fund value as tax free cash and the rest can be invested in an ARF/AMRF or taken as a taxable sum if you can prove a gauranteed income of €12,700 or already have €63,500 in an AMRF

(i think, someone please correct me if im wrong)
