The National Fund for Municipal Workers (NFMW) is the largest fund in Local Government, managing over R31 billion in assets and serving more than 59,000 members and councillors employed at municipalities across South Africa, it is clear that WE ARE THE FUND OF CHOICE!

Our members are at the centre of what we do, our decisions, our behaviours and the strategies that we employ in the management of the fund.

We pride ourselves in providing excellent service and the administration cost is of the lowest in the industry, this translates to less of our members’ contributions towards cost and more towards retirement savings.
