Promotional Transfers

In terms of the Rules of the Fund, if members reach certain grades or levels in their companies e.g. by promotion and as a result qualify to transfer to another fund in which their employer participates, such members have an option to transfer to their employer’s fund or remain in the Fund.

If the form is received within the three months period, the member will therefore transfer to the new fund three months after the date of promotion. If no application form is received by the end of three months following the date of promotion, the affected members will be deemed to have exercised their right to remain in the Cape Clothing Industry Provident Fund.
