Veuillez patienter pendant le chargement de la page

Since 1er june 2022, banks, insurance companies and financial institutions that market life insurance contracts must post management fees on their website. The presentation should be in the form of a standard table that groups the fees by category.

INDIVIDUAL PER

The individual PER is open to all. You can purchase it from a financial institution or an insurance organization. This new plan succeeds the PERP and the Madelin contract, which have not been offered since 1er October 2020. Your savings accumulated on the Perp and Madelin can be transferred to the individual PER at your request. This contract entitles you to tax benefits and your rights are transferable to other PERs. There are cases of early release.

The individual ERP is a long-term savings product.

It allows you to save during your working life to get, from retirement age, a capital or a rent.

The plan gives rise to the opening of a securities account or to the adherence to a group insurance contract.

The individual PER is open to all. There are no conditions related to the employment situation (jobseeker, employee, self-employed) or age.

It will no longer be possible to open an individual PER for a minor child after the marketing of Climate Future Savings Plan, scheduled for first quarter 2024.

This new long-term savings product is reserved for children and young people under the age of 21.

The funds invested in this plan will be used to finance projects in the area of health ecological transition.

Individual investment RIP

The RIP leading to the opening of a securities account must be purchased through a specialized business. It is a business that is an authorized provider to carry out the activity of investment advice (credit institution, investment company, financial investment advisor).

Individual insurance per

FYI

the contract may be marketed by an intermediary on behalf of a group insurance association or an additional occupational pension fund (bank or financial advisor).

Unless otherwise stated by you, the management of the amounts paid out of the RIP follows the principle of managed management. This means that when retirement is distant, savings can be invested in riskier, more remunerative assets.

  • Account Evolution
  • Financial performance of investments
  • Amount of charges levied
  • Plan Transfer Conditions

In addition, if you transfer a company PER to an individual PER, you can also pay:

  • Sums from profit-sharing, of participation and abundance from your employer to a company PER or PERCO
  • Sums from a time savings account (TSA) and assigned to your company PER
  • Compulsory payments made on a compulsory company RIP

FYI

there is no cap on voluntary cash payments on the individual PER, but there is a cap on the amount for which you can receive a tax benefit.
