What should I consider?
Things You Should Know Before You Start a PRS Account
When making your PRS contribution, you need to take into account various factors such as your age, personal and household income, risk tolerance, retirement objectives as well as the suitability of the different funds under the various schemes to meet your retirement needs. It is important to bear in mind the cost of living and inflation in setting your retirement goals as well as to think long-term and do not be overly concerned about short-term market fluctuations.
