That partner is Kush Bank Plc. We are a national bank that embraces South Sudan's diversity to develop investment channels and deliver them through a professional team while adhering to Bank of South Sudan regulations and global standards.

Gaining a return on your capital is essential to growing your net worth.

Pension Fund Management

Our newly-crafted pension management service allows Kush Bank to strategically place the monthly deposits in investment vehicles with safe and modest yields until staff member attains the retirement age.

For pension contributions, the investment team of Kush Bank focuses on a balanced approach of:

  • Regional government bonds (outside of South Sudan) – to provide a stable baseline for returns on a guaranteed basis.
  • FX portfolio – to ensure a low-risk, rapidly managed element to the portfolio.
  • Financial instrument trading provides diversity in a well-protected fashion and easy-to-exit positions.
  • Exchange-Traded Funds – to provide exposure internationally to balance the risk in instruments and regional returns.

The portfolio will be balanced across these areas to ensure risk exposure is not weighted to a particular area, reducing risk and broad exposure.
If your organization is currently losing out on cash that has the potential for earned interest, Kush Bank is here to solve this challenge for you.

Managing your pension fund with us ensures employees’ retirement earnings do not suffer a significant inflation impact.
