TNPF has just launched its new Logo. The change in Logo signals a change to the Fund’s brand, identity and corporate culture as it continues to improve its services to all its stakeholders. The launch of the new TNPF Logo is timely as the Fund currently undergoes major reforms to its minimum retirement age and all benefits and services it offers to its members. The reforms will lead to better services for all members of the Fund.

It is my sincere hope that the cooperation between the key stakeholders of the Fund (Government, Employers and Employees) and all members continues to proper.

Projects

Funafuti Lagoon Hotel

The Fund, through its subsidiary private company - TNPF Investment Holdings Ltd t/a Funafuti Lagoon Hotel (FLH) that was incorporated in late 2016, took over (through a Concession Agreement) the assets of a 20 bedroom Hotel with associated dining and function facilities that were owned by the Vaiaku Lagi Hotel (VLH), which is a public enterprise owned by the Government of Tuvalu.

The Fund and the Government of Tuvalu, through the terms of the said Concession Agreement, agreed that they will work together to further upgrade the hotel assets conditions/standards and improve operational processes to bring direct and indirect benefits to Tuvalu through this investment. Both also agreed that they will work together to lead and empower the private sector to invest in the Tourism sector through a Tourism concept paper that was developed by the Fund.
