The Blue Riband International Retirement Plan

The Blue Riband International Retirement Plan is a solution for international employers – whether finance or non-finance sector, small or large employer – providing a cost-effective, flexible, trouble-free, well-designed pension plan.

The Blue Riband International Retirement Plan managed by BWCI Pension Trustees Limited provides a positive retirement solution for international employers.

Features of the Blue Riband International Retirement Plan

The Blue Riband International Retirement Plan can be tailored to meet individual employers’ specific needs.

We recognise that companies have varying objectives for their pension savings vehicle. As a result, we offer flexibility within the Blue Riband International Retirement Plan so that each company can select a pension savings vehicle ideally suited for their needs. In addition, each company may operate a different plan type for different categories of employees.

As investment values are not guaranteed and may fluctuate, the Blue Riband International Retirement Plan provides a range of funds to enable contributions to be invested across a diverse range of assets.
