SRAF & FUNERAL BENEFIT

Member Benefits

The SAMRO Retirement Annuity Fund and Funeral Benefit Scheme have been established to provide benefits for members.

RETIREMENT ANNUITY

What is the Retirement Annuity Fund?

The SAMRO Retirement Annuity Fund was established in 1969 for members of SAMRO.

The Fund is a separate legal entity registered by the Registrar of Pension Funds and is executed
by a specialist retirement fund administration company; (Robson Savage (Pty) Ltd).

Non-contributory

Benefits will be paid if the member passes away and the death is reported within 12 months, if they reach retirement age (55 years old), or if they are suffering from an illness that leads to incapacity.

Eligible for elected SAMRO composer members

Who qualifies?

Membership to the SAMRO Retirement Annuity Fund is automatically granted to all individuals who have been accepted as members of SAMRO by the Board of Directors.

Contributions

Contributions are made annually to the Fund on behalf of every member who earned royalties in any particular year by SAMRO. Contributions are invested by the fund to accumulate retirement capital for each member.

When can a member claim their retirement fund?

The SAMRO Retirement Annuity Fund allows its members to retire at any point between the ages of 55 and 75. If you are approaching retirement age, we recommend that you refer to the Retirement Information Pamphlet for comprehensive details about your retirement options and the procedure for claiming your retirement benefits.
