The 2nd Annual Africa Pensions and Retirement Funds Summit 2021 was the platform for like-minded and forward-thinking retirement and pension funds professionals to re-group and address the challenges and opportunities that were faced by the industry to mobilise and future-proof the retirement and pension funds for its members’ livelihoods.

Never before had it been so critical for pension funds to protect their members’ future livelihoods. The rising cost of living was not something to take lightly and as the biggest investors to an economy, retirement and pension funds had an opportunity to fast track economies around the world to grow and protect members’ current and future livelihoods.

3rd Annual Africa Pensions & Retirement Summit 2022

InterContinental Mauritius Resort, Balaclava Fort

Although the growth is commendable and welcome, and as the continent embraces the global shift from defined benefit to defined contribution systems; there are inherent challenges and headwinds. For instance, most of the continent’s population -mostly in the informal sector and accounting for almost 80% of the workforce still remained uncovered by any form of retirement scheme and this is chiefly attributable to the fact that most of our pension systems are designed to cover those in formal employment and earning a regular income.
