Individual Pension Plan (IPP)

We’ll help you think differently about retirement – more optimistic about tomorrow and confident about taking control. You may see yourself traveling, volunteering or simply spoiling your grand kids. Whatever your plans, we are in your corner.

Our individual pension product is a long-term investment plan that allows you to build a sizeable retirement fund. Your monthly contributions grow exponentially with competitive interest rates.

The plan allows you to first build your retirement income by making regular contributions during your working life. On attainment of your selected retirement age, APA Life will pay your accumulated retirement benefits in accordance with the option selected at the inception of the policy.


Why the Individual Pension Plan cover?

  • Member’s contributions and accumulated earnings are guaranteed against impairment by investment loss at a Minimum guaranteed interest of 4%.

  • Offers Bonus returns in addition to guaranteed interest.

  • Investments risk borne by APA thus no risk to member.

  • Flexibility of contribution and withdrawal.

  • Collateral for mortgage on up to 60% of member’s fund.

  • Offers no costs of joining or administering the fund.




  • The power of Compounding with APA


    APA has averaged 10% net investment returns over the last 10 years. The competitive historical returns are primarily driven by our value investments that guarantee preservation of member’s benefits. At the 10% return, a savings of Ksh 1,000 during a member's active work life of 35 years compounded monthly will grow by more than eight (8) folds under the APA Individual guaranteed Savings Plan.
