Nasfund Chief Executive Officer Rajeev Sharma made his first 2026 appearance on the Nasfund–FM100 Talkback Show this week, delivering a clear message to members, employers, and the wider public that the future of superannuation depends on informed decisions, disciplined savings habits, and a commitment to long-term financial wellbeing.
Mr. Sharma used the session to walk listeners through the core pillars of retirement readiness, emphasizing that superannuation is not just a compulsory contribution but a lifelong financial asset capable of transforming retirement outcomes when managed well.
Voluntary Contributions (VCs) were highlighted as one of the most effective ways to boost account growth, as they benefit from compounding interest and build steadily on top of the standard employer and employee contributions.
He reminded listeners of the Rule of 72, a concept that helps individuals understand how quickly their savings can grow.
Mr. Sharma provided clarity on the governance of the superannuation system, assuring members that strict oversight and risk management measures are in place to protect their savings.
He also noted that Nasfund’s expanding digital service ecosystem including the Nasfund App, eBranch, and enhanced social media presence is making access to information and services easier and more transparent.
Moreover, practical planning tools, such as the retirement calculator, allows members to model their future savings needs, while Nasfund’s new AI powered chatbot offers quick, reliable responses to member queries.
With 22 branches complemented by these digital channels, Nasfund continues to improve nationwide service accessibility.
