Private Pension Account: Who Qualifies and What You Get

What you get
You get the ability to grow your retirement investments with tax-deferred growth. This means you can invest your money and potentially benefit from tax advantages while your savings build up for the future.
What it costs you
It is not free to maintain this account. You will have to pay management fees charged by the investment fund or the firm managing your money.

These accounts are designed for long-term savings. If you decide to withdraw your money before you reach retirement age, you will face heavy tax penalties.
