Personal Retirement Savings Account

The ITC PRSA (Personal Retirement Savings Account) is a flexible, cost-effective pension plan. We offer a non-standard PRSA that allows you to take control of both the investments and costs associated with your retirement.
The ITC PRSA can invest in a wide range of asset classes in a tax-efficient manner, regardless of your future or current employment status. This gives you flexibility on how you receive benefits at retirement.
ITC offers 3 PRSAs - ITC PRSA 1, ITC PRSA 2 and ITC PRSA 3, which are identical. They only differ by the level of service offered by the financial advisor in relation to each. Accordingly, the 3 PRSAs vary by the annual management charge levied.
