Imagine a financial product that gives you the freedom to take control of your retirement savings – to invest globally, reduce fees, and align your money with your long-term goals. That product exists in Israel. It’s called the IRA, or more precisely, the self-managed provident fund (קופת גמל בניהול אישי).
And now, it’s under threat.
In response to the Slice pension fraud scandal, new regulations are being proposed that could effectively eliminate this powerful savings tool. Instead of fixing oversight gaps, lawmakers may be throwing out the entire product.
As a financial coach and mortgage broker, I’ve seen firsthand how this product can empower responsible investors. Banning it would be a major step backward.
