Meezan Tahaffuz Pension Fund

Meezan Tahaffuz Pension Fund is Pakistan’s first and the largest Shariah Compliant Voluntary Pension Scheme. MTPF is the best way to save and invest for your post-retirement needs and it has the potential to deliver superior returns with the added advantage of providing immense Tax Benefits* which significantly enhances the yield on your investment.

*As per prevailing tax laws

Investment Objective & Philosophy

The Fund seeks to provide participants a regular Halal income stream after retirement/disability when they can no longer earn regular income to support their living so that they are not dependent on other members of the society.

Contributions in MTPF are invested in various Shariah compliant instruments to earn Halal returns and create wealth over the entire work life of the participant in accordance with the investment policy of MTPF. You can invest money regularly or you can make lump-sum payments as and when you want.

You can choose from a wide range of investment options; the one that is most suitable for you will depend on your retirement goals, age and your appetite for risk. Your payments will be invested in the particular scheme that you choose with the aim of growing your individual pension account.
