When planning for retirement, it’s important to have a secure savings plan that ensures you can maintain your lifestyle after you stop working. In Kenya, one of the best ways to achieve this goal is through an Individual Pension Plan (IPP). An Individual Pension Plan (IPP), also known as an Individual Retirement Benefits Scheme, is a personal savings plan that helps individuals set aside funds for retirement. Unlike employer-based pension schemes, IPPs offer tax benefits and a variety of investment options to ensure growth over time.
In Kenya, the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) is the government body responsible for registering and regulating individual pension plans. These schemes allow individuals to invest in a range of assets and enjoy tax relief on their contributions, making them a smart choice for long-term financial planning.
