Employer Solutions
Fairway Kuwait can provide flexible employer benefits plans created for use by employers, regardless of their industry or location.
These plans are created to address the needs of employers who are seeking to establish an Employee Savings Scheme and/or an End of Service Benefits (“EOSB”) Scheme.
Fairway International Master Trust (FIMT) is available to deliver these services. Fairway Pension Trustees Limited is the independent, regulated Trustee of FIMT.
Employee Savings Scheme
FIMT’s Employee Savings Scheme enables an employer to provide its employees, wherever they are located, with a simple but transparent savings plan. As the Scheme is completely independent, the Trustee is able to engage with any investment solution, to suit the needs of the employer and its employees, including the use of Shariah compliant funds.
End of Service Benefits (EOSB)
FIMT’s EOSB Scheme enables an employer to provision, off balance sheet, for its known and future end-of-service benefit liabilities. These types of Scheme do not require any employee engagement as the employer is wholly responsible for the end-of-service lump sum liability. This type of Scheme is more simple in structure, compared to an Employee Savings Scheme, with most investment solutions being relatively cautious and often cash based.
