A retention fund is a portion of payment withheld by a client or project owner to ensure that a contractor or service provider completes their work satisfactorily and addresses any defects or issues that may arise after project completion. This fund is typically released after a specified period, often referred to as the retention period, which allows for any necessary corrections to be made. Retention funds are commonly used in construction and service contracts to protect the interests of the client while incentivizing the contractor to deliver quality work.
Under the assumption of no transaction costs, establishing a retention fund presents no risk management case because the absence of transaction costs removes the financial incentive to hold funds for future contingencies. In such a scenario, organizations can freely allocate resources without worrying about the expenses associated with buying or selling assets. Therefore, the retention fund's purpose—to cushion against potential future losses—becomes less relevant as the cost of securing those assets is negligible. As a result, the need for a dedicated retention fund diminishes significantly.

No, retention and deductible are not the same. Retention refers to the amount of risk that a company or individual chooses to retain or self-fund before insurance coverage kicks in, often used in the context of commercial insurance. A deductible, on the other hand, is the amount an insured person must pay out-of-pocket before their insurance policy pays for a covered loss. While both concepts involve costs borne by the insured, they apply in different contexts and have distinct implications.
