Why it matters

Independent guidance from Joanson Baptiste James helps you compare options from multiple insurers and make an informed decision.
Retirement savings illustration
Explore a scenario using your own contribution, time period and annual return assumption. Amounts are in Jamaican dollars (JMD).
Enter a contribution or starting amount, a time period up to 100 years, and a return assumption from 0% to 100%. These are your assumptions, not offered rates.
Assumptions: Monthly contributions at month end and monthly compounding at the annual rate divided by 12. Starting savings grow at that monthly rate. Inflation uses the annual assumption entered. Fees and taxes are excluded. This is a hypothetical illustration, not a product comparison or promised return. Investments can lose value.
Your questions about pensions and annuities
Where should retirement planning start?
Outline your expected household costs, retirement timing, existing savings and any employer benefits. Review the assumptions regularly.
How are pensions and annuities different?
Pension arrangements generally build retirement benefits, while annuities provide income under a contract. Contributions, access and income terms vary.
Can I access my money early?
Access conditions depend on the arrangement. Review restrictions and potential charges before committing.
Are returns or tax benefits guaranteed?
Do not assume either. Review the actual product terms, risks and charges, and discuss tax treatment with an appropriately qualified professional.
