Laptrust is now open to any individuals, employers and/or employees to join the DC Scheme since it was duly registered and licensed as an administrator by the Retirement Benefits Authority in 2011. The company’s goal is to serve the entire Eastern Africa region and ultimately the wider African market.

Initially, Laptrust operated a Defined Benefits (DB) Scheme Structure in which the pension factor is pre-determined irrespective of the investment performance of the scheme. A policy direction from the Ministry of Finance requires all new Local Authorities employees from January 2012 to be admitted to a DC scheme hence Laptrust runs the two schemes concurrently. Also note that the Local Authorities, after 2013 elections, will be independent.

Laptrust Total Fund Value as at March 2012 was Ksh. 17.5 Billion and has since grown.

what are the options for a student currently without a job of course but with a steady income and with no documentation to show for it?

@khimanie, your steady source of income need be known in that case to clear any doubt in your ability to consistently make the monthly contributions as would have been agreed.

the source of income in question is an informal business.

Resolved:- For the Individual Pension Plan, no other identification is required other than the National ID and the source of income need not be known – it is a personal thing.

Fund value as at Sep 2012 was Ksh 18billion. The accounts are awaiting audit to enable us declare the rate of return.
