A pension plan is a scheme in which an employee transfers part of his or her current income stream toward retirement income. There are two main types of pension plans: defined-benefit plans and defined-contribution plans.
In a defined-benefit plan, the employer guarantees that the employee will receive a definite amount of benefit upon retirement, regardless of the performance of the underlying investment pool. In a defined-contribution plan the employer makes predefined contributions for the employee, but the final amount of benefit received by the employee depends on the investment’s performance. Therefore it is important that Pension schemes are managed properly or workers will find themselves without proper benefits when they retire in their twilight years.
This means that those who are managing Pension Schemes have a greater responsibility, not only to ensure that the contributions are protected but grow that employees have a proper steam of income when they retire. Most employees do not have any other form of income and they are looking forward to their retirement income. If the schemes are not managed properly people’s life will be ruin. Therefore with this in mind the Jamaica Stock Exchange presents its Pension workshop to help Pension Professionals understand Pension Fund Management.
