Access ARM Pensions Promotes Dollar-Denominated Pension Plans

Access ARM Pensions is actively seeking to expand the adoption of its pension plan, particularly the dollar-denominated pension fund, RSA Fund VII. During a recent webinar titled "Understanding Personal Pension Plan (PPP) Dollar Fund VII," the organization emphasized its commitment to enhancing public understanding of flexible pension options to promote financial inclusion across various economic segments, including the Nigerian diaspora.

Maryam Musa Amzat, Unit Head of the Private Client Desk at Access ARM Pensions, highlighted that the two products represent the industry's response to changing domestic and global economic realities. The Personal Pension Plan, formerly known as the micro pension, is designed to enhance voluntary pension arrangements as per the Pension Reform Act of 2024, targeting self-employed individuals and those in the informal sector.

Ireti Ishola, Head of Strategy at Access ARM Pensions, and Wale Okunrinboy, Chief Investment Officer, discussed the benefits of the dollar-denominated investment option, which aims to hedge currency risk. Zainab Bello, Head of Benefit Administration, noted that the PPP guidelines provide clear rules for onboarding and withdrawal, ultimately strengthening confidence in the pension system.
