The Israeli pension system is one of the most complex in the world, with pension funds, provident funds, managers' insurance, education funds, and various investment tracks. Most people do not understand what they have, how much they pay in management fees, or whether their coverage fits their situation. Uninformed decisions in this area cost hundreds of thousands of shekels over a lifetime.
