Intro to Pension

Pension is your future income when you stop working. Learn more about the three parts of the pension system in Sint Maarten.

Senior’s Pension

The senior’s pension is a lifelong benefit that you receive from the age of 65.

Temporary Allowance

If a participant of APS has gone missing, the persons who would derive pension rights from his death are entitled to a temporary pension.

Widow(er)’s Pension

The widow(er)’s pension is a lifelong benefit for spouses of APS participants or pensioners after their passing.

Orphan’s Pension

If an APS participant or pensioner has passed away, their children are entitled to an orphan’s pension up to the age of 27.

Disability Pension

The disability pension is a benefit that you receive when you become permanently incapacitated for work.

Burial Allowance

A burial allowance is a one-off benefit that surviving family members receive when a retired participant passes away.
Investments

Investments

In order to grow, pension funds must invest. Our investment portfolio consists of local real estate projects, loans, time deposits, and an international stock & bond portfolio.
Investments in entities established in Sint Maarten and Curacao are considered local. Any investment outside of the monetary union is considered international.

Oryx Residences

Oryx Residences is a local APS residential real estate investment project that offers Sint Maarteners the opportunity to purchase or rent a modern, robust family home at a mid-range price ($145,000 – $245,000).

International Investments

Between 40%-50% of APS’ total investments are international. The international portfolio is a diverse mix of equity (stocks) and fixed income (bonds) securities issued by entities in USD, Developed and Emerging Market.

Local Investments

Alongside Oryx residences, APS’ local real estate projects include Mary’s Fancy, the Professional Office Park, and the APS Parking Lot at the Government Building.

Local Bonds & Loans

APS has a well-diversified portfolio of local bonds and loans in sectors ranging from Government and Health Care to the Tourism and Marine industries.
