The Pacific Island Investment Forum (PIIF) is currently underway in Suva, Fiji where the management team of Nasfund is attending.
The 2025 PIIF Annual CEOs Forum is proudly hosted by the Fiji National Provident Fund at the Sheraton Fiji Golf and Beach Resort from April 7–10.
In true Fijian tradition, Nasfund Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Pacific Island Investment Forum (PIIF) Chairman, Rajeev Sharma, received a warm ‘kava’ welcome at the opening of the PIIF Annual CEOs Forum in Suva, Fiji.
During his remarks, CEO Sharma emphasized the power of collaboration among Pacific superannuation funds.
“One of the key challenges we face across the Pacific is identifying the right investment opportunities. Often, our fund sizes are small, and suitable investments within our own countries are limited. That’s why this forum exists—to work together and explore quality investments collectively,” Mr. Sharma said.
Nasfund’s Marketing Lead and Chairwoman of the Women in Super Network, Melisha Sindiwan, shared key updates at the PIIF Annual CEOs Forum in Fiji.
Representing the women from 12 Pacific-based member funds, Ms. Sindiwan highlighted 3 key actions agreed to by PIIF members:
- Collect gender-based data and include it in reports from 2024 onwards.
- Support informal workers by sharing data and success stories.
- Run financial literacy programs to better serve all members.
Ms. Sindiwan also presented the 2025 Women in Super survey results with 100% of the 12 listed funds reporting the collection and access to sex-disaggregated data, 83% engage with informal economy through voluntary contributions and 58% of the funds have a financial/retirement literacy program that meets its member needs.
