An AMRF automatically converts to an ARF:

An AMRF automatically converts to an ARF:

• A. on death
• B. when the AMRF value first exceeds €40,000
• C. when the AMRF value first falls below €20,000
• D. when the AMRF holder starts to receive guaranteed pension income of €10,000 per annum

Answer: (A)

AMRFs are retirement funds that, for the holder’s lifetime, are kept under a structure that limits how the fund can be accessed, with a transition planned for what happens after death. The rule is that the AMRF automatically converts to an ARF when the holder dies, so the funds can continue to be accessed by a beneficiary under the ARF framework. This automatic conversion is about ensuring a smooth handover of the retirement assets to someone who can continue drawing from them, rather than being triggered by fund value or income events. The other options—conversion triggered by hitting a value threshold or by starting to receive guaranteed pension income—do not apply, because the conversion mechanism is tied to death.
