Abstract

The study examined the new contributory pension scheme and the investment of pension fund for improved benefits. Descriptive statistics was used in analyzing the responses elicited through questionnaire, from the sampled population. Data gathered from in-depth interview were analyzed qualitatively in other to test the hypothesis. It was found that the investment of pension funds has not led to fair returns in retirees Retirement savings accounts (RSA) balance. The study suggests diversification of the portfolio and modes of investment of pension funds by the PFAs to include greater emphasis on the real estate and infrastructures, a part from government secured bonds. It is also suggested that Pen Com as the regulator should ensure adequate supervision of the activities of the PFAs so they can declare fair returns.
