Many Retirement Savings Account (RSA) holders have been asking about the modalities of the pension transfer window that was announced by the National Pension Commission (PenCom), recently.
According to a statement, some of their questions bothers on what distinguishes a Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) from the other, and what should influence choice and movements.
Owing to this, the Managing Director, ARM Pension, Wale Odutola, was quoted in the statement to have provided insights into the key differentiating elements that are likely to influence choice of one PFA to the other.
According to him, these elements becomes the competitive qualities that PFAs are going to work on, which brings additional value to the RSA holder and for the larger pension industry.
Odutola said, “For every RSA holder planning to make a move, I’ll advice that such a person seeks out a PFA with an excellent management team, a good investment track-record and notable years of experience.”
“RSA holders should not ignore the history books. Ensure that the PFA you move to have rigorously managed pension fund assets and remained consistent with paying out higher returns to the retirees whose fund they manage,” he added.
According to him, ARM Pension has since inception delivered consistently positive returns on retirees’ funds irrespective of the economic situation of the nation.
“Skilled with an experienced and competent management team, ARM Pensions has recorded historical annual returns on managed retirement funds with average returns significantly higher than the long-run average inflation rate of 12 per cent,” he added.
With ARM Pensions equipped with the ISO certification for information security, he believes that after years of hard work, an RSA holder should not put the safety of their data and funds in jeopardy. He advised strongly on choosing a PFA with an airtight information security protocol in place.
In addition, Odutola advised RSA holders to, “do business with a PFA that has a responsive customer relationship team that you can reach easily, online and offline, and aside from providing core functions of managing your pension funds, your PFA should go above and beyond to provide you with retirement planning tools, tips, and more to help you prepare for a fulfilled retirement.”
“For us at ARM, going the extra mile and continually exploring opportunities to ensure comfort in retirement for the people who entrust us with their funds, remains our priority always,” he said.
