The FNPF Board regularly assesses benefits available to our members against its fiduciary responsibility as a retirement fund. While the Board understands the current economic challenges facing members and their expectations over the years, there is a cause for concern for the extent of increased reliance by the members on the Fund to meet basic and social obligations. Thus the Board continually reviews the benefits available to our members in re-focusing the FNPF to its core function – that of a retirement fund.

The FNPF has three principal benefits - Retirement, Permanent Incapacity, and Survivors Benefit in case of death of a member. There are secondary benefits or schemes that compliment these, which include Housing, Education, and Medical Assistance Schemes. Members who leave Fiji to settle permanently in other countries can also withdraw their FNPF savings.

It is important that members of the Fund understand the core objective of the organisation, to provide financial security on retirement.
If a member unwisely and repeatedly withdraws his/her savings for any one or more of the secondary benefits during his/her membership, then such withdrawals will in turn affect his/her quality of life at retirement.
