The Cook Islands National Superannuation Fund has adopted the recommendations of the latest Actuarial Review of life expectancy and pension rates completed by Aon Hewitt.
The new pension rates will take effect from 1 March 2018, and will only be applied to members applying for a pension from 1 March 2018, existing pensioners will not have any changes made to their pension rates.
The new pension rate for members turning 60 years of age from 1 March 2018 reduces from $69 to $67 per $1000 invested. This reflects the increase in life expectancy from the Actuarial Review.
