In furtherance of driving awareness for Pension scheme as well as its usefulness to everyone who wants to retire well, Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, a subsidiary of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, recently launched a robust marketing campaign, themed: ‘Make Extraordinary Happen’.
The Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) emphasised its
dedication to supporting the dreams of everyday Nigerians who are working hard
to attain financial independence and who dream of enjoying an extraordinary
post-work life.
Olumide Oyetan, Chief Executive, Stanbic IBTC Pension
Managers, said the launch of the campaign is aimed at building on the progress
that has been achieved so far in sensitising and educating the public about the
importance of having a pension plan with the right partner.
He said, “Our Make Extraordinary Happen campaign reiterates
our commitment to ensuring that every Nigerian can fulfill their dreams during
active work life and still enjoy an extraordinary retirement. Many young people
believe that PFAs just take their money, invest it for a few decades, then
return it at retirement. However, we do more than that at Stanbic IBTC Pension
Managers.
We support financial and investment literacy, teaching
clients and their children end-to-end financial planning. We engage employers
in knowledge sharing and enlightenment sessions to simplify the administration
of their staff pension benefits. We hold pre-retirement sessions to support
pre-retirement individuals in transitioning seamlessly and position
opportunities that would help our clients at various life stages to achieve
their financial goals.
This campaign is therefore aimed at communicating the
possibilities that exist when pension contributors allow us partner with them
to create the extraordinary lives that they dream of, now and at retirement.”
Olumide emphasised that Nigerians can take advantage of the
Pension Scheme through the formal plan which caters to those in paid
employment, as well as through the Micro Pension Scheme, which supports people
who are self-employed.
The Transfer Window introduced by the National Pension
Commission (PenCom) continues to empower contributors to exercise their power
of choice in deciding who to partner with on their journey to retiring well. In
line with this, the Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers Chief Executive encouraged
contributors to move their pension to the leading pension fund administrator.
Olumide said, “we have welcomed thousands of contributors
who have chosen to allow us support their dream of retiring well and today,
over 1.9 million Nigerians are enjoying the commitment, transparency and
sustainable long-term investment returns which our clients enjoy. We,
therefore, urge other like-minded individuals to move to Stanbic IBTC and enjoy
the many solutions we’ve specially curated to ensure that they retire well”, he
added.
Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers remains committed to ensuring
customers retire well by continuously creating an innovative approach to
investment management and retirement planning. Further details on their
