Don’t you know which Afore you’re in? Your retirement savings will be smaller

The disadvantages of not having your Afore registered in one of the 10 administrators that exist is that the yields obtained are less than 5%, which the administrators give on average, there are even administrators that -depending on your age- offer returns higher than 7%. .

If you want to know what the return offered by your Afore is, you can consult it at this link .

What are the advantages of choosing an Afore?

One of the main ones, in addition to receiving higher returns, is that you can receive your account statement every four months: January, May and September.

In addition, you can make voluntary contributions from 100 pesos and choose how often you want to save: weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

Voluntary contributions also give you returns and suffer losses in times of market volatility, but they have another advantage: you can withdraw them whenever you want.

Voluntary savings can be done from your Afore app, by going to the offices or by phone. You can also assign beneficiaries. Workers with an Afore account can inherit their savings to their relatives in the event of death.

Afore Sura adds that there are two types of beneficiaries: legal and substitutes. The first are spouses, children, concubines and parents, who can request a pension and money from the individual account.

For surrogate payees, the worker can choose non-relatives or second-degree relatives to recover the money from the individual account.
