With over 52,000 members, the Consolidated Retirement Fund for Local Government is the largest and fastest growing local government fund in South Africa. We welcome local government employees and councillors, nationwide, and provide all our members with excellent retirement solutions.

This is our promise to members:

We are committed to providing members with market-leading investment returns over the long term – Since inception in 1996 we have outperformed inflation by more than 7% (after costs) confirming the CRF is a leader in providing outstanding returns. Our members choose their investment portfolios and also have a life stage investment option to help protect them against volatile markets as they approach retirement.

We work hard to provide our members with a choice of flexible, cost-efficient benefits tailored to best suit their unique needs – The CRF understands that no two people are the same or have the same needs. Our members choose their death, disability and dread disease cover. All contributing members under the age of 75 years have funeral cover of R50 000! Their immediate families are also covered.
