Botswana Public Officers Pension Fund (BPOPF) says 70 percent of its assets are invested offshore; hence the critical need for the company's offshore managers to access data at the crunch of a computer.

Speaking at the fund's official website launch on Friday, Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Lesedi Moakofhi explained that there is need, as the company, to enhance their communication with stakeholders both nationally and internationally, hence the website is a critical marketing and communication tool.She explained that the offshore accounts enable the fund to grow in leaps, thus making their management on a daily basis an imperative. She also said it is equally important for BPOPF to serve its clients with processes executed in a transparent business manner to protect the brand's initiatives.

Moakofhi said the BPOPF website is not a mere embrace of Information, Communication Technology (ICT) but a clear demonstration of the fund's commitment to providing quality service to all stakeholders, and empower members as well. Officially launching the website, Board of Trustees' Chairman Rapula Okaile said communication remains a core amongst the BPOPF board of trustees' fiduciary obligations, hence the website's role could not be overemphasised."Therefore, it makes it imperative for a continuous review of the standard of business and communication to accord universal access to company information to everyone across the globe, " explained Okaile.
