With only 10 per cent of Jamaicans currently enrolled in pension plans, FHC Investments Limited is making a push to expand its pension offerings and educate the public on the importance of retirement planning. 

The company’s strategic focus on pensions was a key highlight at its Cocktails & Conversations corporate mingle at the Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel on Wednesday, February 19.

Speaking at the event, Omoi Green, General Manager of FHC Investments Limited, underscored the urgent need for pension reform and increased awareness in Jamaica.

“In the last check we made, only about 10% of Jamaicans have pensions. So, the market is wide open to opportunities,” Green said in a post-event interview. “Many don’t even know they need a pension. We know that our work is cut out for us, but we intend to take the bull by the horns. We will bring opportunities to educate, starting with our internal team.”

A Growing Market, A Strategic Response

Jamaica’s low pension participation rate has long been a concern for financial industry stakeholders. With an aging population and increased economic uncertainty, FHC Investments is positioning itself as a leader in providing tailored retirement solutions.

During his remarks, Green emphasized that the company is committed to making pension planning more accessible and attractive. FHC Investments will introduce enhanced pension fund management services, offering solutions for both individual investors and corporate clients. These offerings aim to provide security, stability, and sustainable growth for those looking to safeguard their future.

“We understand that planning for retirement is not just a financial decision—it’s a life decision,” Green stated. “Whether you’re an employer looking to secure your team’s future or an individual building your retirement nest egg, FHC Investments will help you plan, invest, and retire with confidence.”

Technology and Education at the Forefront

FHC Investments also plans to leverage technology to streamline pension fund management and client advisory services. According to Green, the firm will integrate cutting-edge digital tools to ensure seamless access to retirement planning resources, allowing clients to make informed investment decisions with ease.

Additionally, education will be a core component of the company’s strategy. Green revealed that FHC Investments is prioritizing financial literacy initiatives, starting with internal training sessions for its own team before rolling out educational campaigns to the wider public.

Positioning for the Future

Chairman of FHC Investments Limited, Cranston Ewan, reinforced the company’s commitment to financial empowerment, stating that the firm’s mission is to help clients build long-term financial security.

“Our vision is clear—we aim to lead the way in helping our clients achieve financial goals while building a lasting legacy,” Ewan noted in his address.

With a renewed focus on pension fund management, FHC Investments Limited is set to play a pivotal role in reshaping Jamaica’s retirement landscape, ensuring more Jamaicans can retire comfortably and confidently.
