UAE introduces new end-of-service investment schemes

National Bonds in the UAE will introduce two new investment schemes for companies to manage end-of-service payments for employees. One scheme offers capital protection through bank deposits and sukuks, with expected returns of 3%-4%. The second scheme, a balanced growth fund, allows employers and employees to contribute, with projected returns of 5%-7%. These products aim to modernize the UAE's end-of-service benefit system in line with global pension trends. National Bonds will also continue to provide individual investment options. In 2024, the company saw a 51% increase in regular savers, boosting its investment portfolio to Dh15.8 billion, a 22% rise from 2023.
