The Institute of Retirement Funds (IRF) is a non political body which represents and promotes the interests of the retirement industry in Southern Africa, to the ultimate benefit of the members of retirement funds. The most important function of the IRF is to represent the retirement industry in negotiations with government authorities and the Financial Services Board (FSB), which would include commenting on legislation and tax matters affecting retirement funds/pensioners etc. The IRF therefore depends on total support from all parties concerned with the retirement benefit provision industry.
The IRF is a non-profit organisation, which came into existence in March 1987 to succeed its predecessor, the Association of Pension and Provident Funds (APPF) which had existed since 1949. The APPF was an organisation of pension funds whereas the IRF has a much wider membership base which includes all the disciplines associated with retirement benefits, including those administrators, actuaries, consultants, brokers and insurers insofar as their administration of retirement funds are concerned.
Our Objective
Our principal objective is to protect, promote and advance the interests of pension, provident, retirement annuity and similar funds, their trustees, members and persons associated with such funds in Southern Africa.
