People’s Pension Trust Ghana Limited has been adjudged the Pension Company of the Year.
This was at the maiden edition of the Ghana Business Awards Ceremony held in Accra on Friday.
The company, which provides trustee services under both Tier 2 and 3 schemes, beat three other companies to pick up the prestigious award.
This comes barely two years after the firm launched its operations in Ghana with a focus on offering flexible and innovative pension products for both formal and informal sector workers in the country.
According to the CEO, Samuel Bediako Waterberg, the recognition reaffirmed the company’s innovation in product development and customer service towards achieving the goal of reducing old-age poverty in the country.
“It is a great honour to win the Pension Company of the Year Award and we dedicate it to all our loyal customers. It proves that hard work pays, and that People’s Pension Trust is indeed on course to providing pension cover for at least 500,000 workers, especially those in the informal sector by 2022.”
He added, “Winning this award barely two years of entry into the pensions industry also shows that we are indeed doing something right. It demonstrates our strict adherence to industry guidelines, especially in fund management.”
Against this backdrop, he also reiterated the company’s commitment to product innovation and advised the public to secure their future with products like the recently launched Life-Bonus Personal Pension Plan.
He also assured clients, especially those in the informal sector, who have reposed confidence in People’s Pension Trust that their funds remain safe with the company.
