What is APA Individual Pension?

The APA Life Individual Retirement Plan is a retirement savings arrangement for individuals — including the self-employed, those whose employers have no formal scheme, and those wanting to top up existing cover.

Contributions are invested in the APA Guaranteed Fund, which guarantees members' contributions and accumulated earnings against impairment and offers a minimum guaranteed return of 4%, with additional returns declared above the guarantee. The investment risk is transferred to APA Life.

Highlights

  • Guaranteed protection of contributions and accumulated earnings against impairment.
  • Minimum 4% guaranteed return — APA has averaged around 10% net p.a. over the last 10 years (not guaranteed).
  • The power of compounding: e.g. KES 1,000/month for 35 years grows to ~KES 3.58m at 10%.
  • Quarterly investment reports, annual benefit statements and self-service portal access.
  • Tax relief on contributions within prevailing limits; benefits accessed per scheme rules and the Retirement Benefits Act.
