THE future of superannuation in the country depends on informed decisions, disciplined savings habits, and a commitment to long-term financial wellbeing, according to Nasfund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief executive officer Rajeev Sharma said during the Nasfund FM100 talkback show in Port Moresby this week that superannuation was not just a compulsory contribution but a lifelong financial asset capable of transforming retirement outcomes when managed well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said voluntary contribution was one of the most effective ways to boost account growth, as workers benefitted from compound interest which build steadily on top of the employer-employee contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharma provided clarity on the governance of the superannuation system, assuring members that strict oversight and risk management measures are in place to protect their savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that Nasfund\u2019s expanding digital service ecosystem including the Nasfund App, e-Branch, and enhanced social media presence was providing access to information and services easier and more transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
