ISSUE 26 JULY - AUGUST 2014
Investments
Nambawan Super has the largest and best investment
portfolio in Papua New Guinea.
NSL invests around 4.2 billion kina on behalf of its members. It has around a third in cash and government bonds,
around a third in PNG companies and around a third in
properties and overseas assets.
This mix is not far away from a tried and tested formula
that was devised centuries ago.
The oldest recorded asset allocation advice is from biblical
times and recommends: “Let every man divide his money
into three parts, and invest a third in land, a third in
business, and let him keep a third in reserve.”
Here are some of NSL’s share investments in Papua New
Guinea.

As you know it is in the best interests of
members for NSL to be a long term investor
and as such we believe NSL has positioned its portfolio to make
sure we provide sound long term future returns. Now that we
have passed the half way mark for the year we can reflect on our
current performance.
The mid-year review of financial performance of the Fund reports
lower growth due to a number of factors.
A change in the way we estimate the value of Government
Securities on a market related basis is having a negative impact on
the financial performance. Members are advised that this is a timing
issue and there is no realised financial loss for the Fund. The
calculation method highlights a notional paper value reduction in
interim years until assets mature and full market values are realised.
As highlighted in past annual accounts a slowing of activity in the
PNG economy following the wind down of the LNG project is having
an impact generally across all sectors including our investments.
I’d like to point out that these are only short term issues that are not
material for the Fund as it is a long term investor. The second half of
the year is generally better due to stronger receipt of dividends and
rental in any event.
NSL’s operational performance on streamlining systems and
processes and redefining a progressive organisational culture to
serve members better is tracking well. Through a Continuous
Improvement Program, initiatives such as 24 hour turnaround times,
enhanced mobile and online services, automation of contribution
uploads for Savings and Loans, a Choice Super product to cater for
those outside the formal workforce and others have been rolled out
to deliver convenience and efficiency for NSL members.

Chief Executive Officer

Nambawan Savings and Loans Society (NSLS) has now
reached 100% automation for all employer contributions for
more than 45 contributing employers in July of 2014.
In 2013 a Membership ID Card Project was set up to
pre-print ID cards for members throughout the country in
order for them to have an ID Card each. 65,000 members
that updated their bio data including contact details with
NSL received pre-printed member Ids.
This means member contributions, loans and withdrawal postings
can now happen within 24 hours. NSLS was incorporated in
October of 2010 acquiring over 10,000 members and deposits in
excess of K20 million over the last four years.
Pre-printed IDs were sent to respective provincial offices to
distribute to members; capturing ID photos and signatures
before posting to Regional Offices in Port Moresby, Mt.
Hagen, Goroka, Kokopo and Lae for printing. Once
delivered to members, the ID Cards can be used to access
major discounts from NSL’s loyalty partners around the
nation such as Air Niugini and Brian Bell to name a few.

With a growth rate of registering 400 new members on a monthly

Her day always starts with a prayer at 3am in the morning which
also kindles the adventure in her kitchen. By 4am the nice aroma
of flour battered fish and sweet potatoes (kaukau) seals the air
and at 5am all 150 pieces of fish and 100 pieces of kaukau are
delivered and sold. That is just one of the entrepreneurial
activities that Lady Esmie Ogio carries out to ensure that she
conducts her Choice Super deposit every month.
In this Toktok Super Issue we step into the life of Lady Esmie Ogio,
the wife of His Excellency, Sir Michael Ogio, GCMG, CBE, the ninth
and current Governor-General of Papua New Guinea on how she
handles life between her entrepreneurial activities and while she
succumbs to the Governor General’s busy schedule.
A soft spoken woman from Waihi Village, of South Malaita in the
Solomon Islands, Lady Ogio opened an account with Nambawan
Supers newest product, Choice Super in June this year and has
been a committed member ever since.

people to know that this is a long term
investment product that can only be withdrawn in the event of
retirement or other special circumstances such as
unemployment, permanent disability, death or permanent
emigration.” Mr Tunstall said.
Choice Super Account was set up to cater for individuals like Lady
Esmie Ogio, subsistence farmers, cash crop farmers, fisherman,
PMV & Taxi operators, Trade store owner, and smaller businesses
employing 15 and less staff that want long term savings for them
and their families. Nambawan Super was established to purely
look after and grow its member’s money and whatever interests
it earns is returned into the members accounts and it
accumulates until a member fully exits the Fund.
“As soon as I heard about Choice Super, I knew Nambawan Super
is the Fund for me. I am unemployed but I do my own
entrepreneurial stuff and was doing my own research on where I
could open a savings account. I am so happy that I did not rush
into opening an account, because I now have a big chance of
growing my savings in a better and secure way through
Nambawan Super’s Choice Super product,” says Lady Esmie.
Apart from the cookery, Lady Ogio also sews and knits items such
as food covers, TV covers, table cloths and bed and sofa covers
which she sells to her friends and interested clients who know of
her crafting skills. She is appealing to unemployed mothers to be
empowered and get involved in entrepreneurial activities
instead of waiting on their husbands income every fortnight and
plans to organise sewing and knitting courses for unemployed
mothers and girls living and residing in the settlements.

Money Matters

There’s an old saying, “if it sounds too good to be true,
it probably is”. If you want to save or invest your
hard-earned money, safeguard it by choosing a
reputable organisation that is regulated and
supervised by the Bank of Papua New Guinea.

helped you? Email it to [email protected]
Steer clear of money scams
Pay yourself first
Before you pay bills or spend money on living
expenses, set aside a portion of your pay, say 10
percent, and deposit it with a reputable savings
organisation each pay day. Better still, ask your
employer to deduct the amount from your pay
and deposit it directly into your deposit account.
Chances are, if you don’t see it or hold it, you won’t
miss the money. And you’ll have the satisfaction of
seeing your savings grow.
This works well if you’re in line for a pay rise. Rather
than take the extra money in your pay, ask your
employer to direct deposit the value of the increase
straight into your deposit account.

steps to safeguard and grow
your hard-earned money
Shop around for good
savings opportunities
Where’s the best place to deposit your savings? The answer
will depend on what you want to do with the money. If you’re
saving up for a short-term goal, such as a holiday or a car, it’s
probably best to deposit your money in a savings account
provided by a reputable organisation that is supervised by
the Bank of Papua New Guinea.
Savings & Loan Societies may be a good choice here. For
example, Nambawan Super Fund and RSA Members are eligible
for membership of Nambawan Savings & Loan Society, which
offers competitive returns as well as the peace of mind you’re
dealing with a well-managed organisation you know.

Boost your retirement payout

You can make your money work harder for you by making extra
contributions to your Nambawan Super account. You can top
up your compulsory employee contributions (6% of your pay)
by up to an additional 9%, giving your retirement savings a big
boost. Increasing your personal super savings may also help

Member Awareness & Engagement
is paramount at Nambawan super.
A good number of teachers managed to fill up their
Member Detail Update Forms, increased their own
contributions by filling out their voluntary contribution
forms, filled out forms to access their super balances via
SMS and Internet, and joined up as members to Nambawan
Super Savings & Loans.
Member Awareness and educational programmes on
Nambawan Supers products and services are on the rise
with Nambawan Super Staff scheduling and conducting
presentations four times per week.
In-service Coordinator, Nolan Arthur Murray described the
visit as a humble gesture and an honourable one too. He
said it truly showed that Nambawan Super cared about its
members regardless of the distance and means of
transport.
Chief Operations Officer, Charlie Gilichibi said the boost in
member engagements and awareness is to provide door
step services, educate members about the contributions
deducted every fortnight and tell members how they can
boost their savings for life after formal employment
(retirement).
The presentations are based around three products and
services which are; Voluntary Contribution, SMS Internet
Registration and Nambawan Savings & Loans.
Voluntary Contribution enables a member to contribute
more than the mandatory requirement of 6% to a
maximum 15%, SMS & Internet registration facilitates for
the members having access to their super balances via SMS
or the internet whilst Nambawan Savings & Loans gives the
member an opportunity to save for his/her short term
financial needs.

used to having such big amounts in
their accounts the RSA was launched to help them save money and
grow whilst investing in RSA.
You can only be eligible to have an account if you are retiring. The
maximum amount you can open an RSA account with is K250,000 and
the minimum is K10,000.
Editor: Hi David! First up, your eligibility amount is 100%
of your 6% mandatory employee contributions. You are
eligible for a housing advance after 5 years of
employment and contributing to Nambawan Super. You
have worked over 20 years therefore are more than
qualified to apply for a Housing advance. Let’s turn to
your second query on merging your Super Contributions
and Savings and Loans. This cannot be done as the

Short Term Financial needs. But you can apply for a
Housing Advance and also access money for your savings
and Loans account to help you build or purchase your
house. Now we look at your query on repayments. As
soon as you apply for a Housing Advance an application
form is given to you together with a checklist and an
irrevocable form which you submit to your payroll. 2% is
the minimum contribution to pay of your advance on top
of your normal 6%.

Congratulations Samuel on being a new member of
Nambawan Super. It is pleasing to know that Toktok
Super has helped you understand and given you clarity

reaching out to Kupiano
to serve our rural teachers.
The Divine Word final year students were pleased with the
response and acknowledged Nambawan Super for setting
up a stall.
Nambawan Super Limited has changed its approach by
bringing services closer to its members. In July 2014, a
team of Nambawan Super Staff braved the Magi Highway
and set off on a Four hour trip to Kupiano Secondary
School to conduct a presentation at an in-service designed
for teachers within the Abau Cluster.
We’re keen to receive your comments,
questions and feedback about your
super, your membership of Nambawan
Super or Nambawan Savings & Loans Society. After all, chances
are other Members are likely to be interested in the same topics
or have similar queries.

By the way, if your work colleagues who are also Nambawan
Super Members are not receiving Toktok Super, all they have to
do is send an email to [email protected]
and ask to be put on the distribution list.
