Who we are

Pension Fund Tourism Sector Aruba Foundation (“PFTSA” or “the Fund”) was founded in 1992 on the initiative of Aruba Hotel and Tourism Association (“AHATA”) and the Federacion di Trahadornan di Aruba (“FTA”), as they both shared the same vision for the need to create a pension plan that would provide workers in the tourism industry with additional income after retirement on top of the general old age pension provided by the government.

PFTSA currently manages two plans, namely a Defined Benefit plan (“DB”) and a Defined Contribution plan (“DC”). As of January 1, 2004, the Fund ceased allowing participation into the DB-Plan and the participants could continue only with the DC-plan. The pensions built up in the DB-Plan until December 31, 2003, have not been transferred to the new pension plan (DC-plan).

Mission

To provide retirement benefits to our pension participants with an approachable culture, high professionalism, transparency, innovation, and ethical standard.

Vision

We are the preferred and trusted choice of pension participants for the execution of their retirement plans; a fosterer of financial wellbeing of our members, and guardian of responsible investments.
