Pensions Sector
The pension sector comprises private occupational pension plans registered under the Insurance Act Chap 84:01. The assets of this sector represent a significant portion of the total assets of the financial sector of Trinidad and Tobago. For example, in 2001, pension plan assets totaled approximately $13.9 billion and essentially doubled to approximately $26.6 billion in 2009.
A new Occupational Pensions Plan Act is being developed to update the current provisions and to ensure that pension plans are governed and regulated in accordance with international best practices.
