Saving with Zurich
With a Zurich Savings Plan, your savings can be invested in a range of funds. This plan will suit you if you want to save regularly for at least seven years and want the potential to earn a good return on your savings. There are options available that give you access to your money without any penalties.
Why invest your savings?
For longer term saving goals, like education costs, investing could be a good choice. Investing in a fund can give you the opportunity to earn an inflation beating return over the medium to long term. We can help you create a personal savings plan to suit you and your savings goals.
Your attitude to risk
How your money is invested depends on how much investment risk you are prepared to accept. Choosing your own savings strategy will involve deciding on the level of return you are looking for and balancing that against the level of risk you are comfortable taking.
