Adu Anane Antwi, SEC Boss<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has called on Ghanaians to save and invest for a better retirement.<\/p>\n

\u201cOld age and retirement are inevitable outcomes of our life cycle, which can be confronted boldly and expectantly through proper investment palling irrespective of whether one is in the formal or in-formal sector of the economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He noted that coping with old age depends on a combination of choices one makes especially during his or her active working days, adding that one can enjoy better and balanced quality of life through proper and balanced planning.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch of a new book on pension authored by financial and investment expert, Sam Bright-Kaitoo titled \u201cEnjoying a Blissful Retirement\u201d, Mr. Anane Antwi said though it takes painful sacrifice of present needs to save towards investment, doing it creates a better retirement life for tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Touching on some long term investment products currently available on the financial market including shares, bonds, mutual fund schemes, among others, he noted that two or more people could come together to form investment clubs to pool resources to invest collectively.<\/p>\n

He added the SEC has established a Market Development Committee to among others ensure more listings on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) and develop new financial instruments.<\/p>\n

Dr. Daniel Seddoh, Director General of the National Pension Regulatory Authority (NPRA), for his part, urged people to change their mindset by saving and investing towards a better life.<\/p>\n

He encouraged Ghanaians to read investment books, encouraging people to patronize Sam Bright-Kaitoo\u2019s pension book.<\/p>\n

The book gives the reader an insight into the various decisions to make and the options to consider to ensure an exciting life after retirement.<\/p>\n

The author Mr. Bright-Kaitoo, who also works with Jislah Financial Services, said retirement should be blissful, stressing that it can only happen when people prepare adequately.<\/p>\n

According to him, though the new pension scheme is a significant improvement on the previous ones, workers will still need to take personal decisions that will earn them a blissful pension, adding that these are the issues espoused in his book, titled \u2018Enjoying a Blissful Retirement.\u2019<\/p>\n

He explained that people must not wait till they are advanced in age before thinking about life after retirement.<\/p>\n
