What happened

An Israeli financial article discusses whether to use NIS 400,000 from a liquid study fund to pay down a mortgage with a 4.5% interest rate. While paying off debt offers certainty, the study fund's potential 6% annual return and tax advantages may provide greater long-term wealth accumulation.

  • 01Study funds can yield about 6% annually, exceeding mortgage interest of 4.5%.
  • 02Profits in study funds are tax-exempt, unlike regular investments.
  • 03NIS 400,000 in a study fund could grow to nearly NIS 1 million in 15 years.
  • 04Paying off the mortgage offers certain savings but lower potential returns.
  • 05Liquidity and reduced monthly payments are key factors in the decision.
  • 06A partial withdrawal is a possible compromise.
