Performance of INVL 2^nd pillar pension funds

Important to know

For participants of 2^nd pillar pension accumulation, the state social insurance old-age pension for the period prior to 31 December 2018 is being gradually reduced as established by law, except for participants of pension accumulation prior to 31 December 2018 who between 1 January 2019 and 30 June 2019 exercised the right to terminate pension accumulation – reduction of the state social insurance old-age pension will not apply to them. The state’s additional contribution does not reduce the size of the old-age pension. A 2^nd pillar pension accumulation agreement which is in effect may not be terminated except for a first-time agreement, which the participant has the right to terminate unilaterally within 30 calendar days of making the agreement by notifying the pension accumulation company about that in writing. Persons who became participants before 31 December 2018 had the right from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019 to terminate their participation in pension accumulation or suspend the transfer of pension contributions to the pension fund.

Accumulating in pension funds involves assuming investment risk. The pension accumulation company does not guarantee the profitability of pension funds. A pension fund’s unit value can both rise and fall. You may recover less than you invested. Past results of the management of a pension fund’s investments do not guarantee the same type of results and profitability in the future. The results of a past period are not a reliable indicator of future results.

We recommend selecting a pension fund responsibly and carefully, paying attention to the risks and applicable deductions associated with investments and carefully reading the pension fund rules which are an integral part of the pension accumulation agreement.

Depending on the amount accumulated in a 2^nd pillar pension fund, it may be withdrawn as a lump sum (for less than EUR 5,403) or by periodic payments (for EUR 5,403 to EUR 10,807), or a pension annuity may be acquired (when EUR 10,807 to EUR 64,841 is accumulated) which may be one of three types: standard, inherited standard with a guaranteed payment period, or deferred. In the case of a standard annuity, the entire accumulated amount is allocated to acquire the annuity, with pension payments starting as soon as the annuity is acquired and continuing as long as you live. For an inherited standard annuity, payments are also made as long as you live, but time payment until the participant reaches the age of 80 is guaranteed – if the participant dies earlier, the unpaid amount can be inherited. For both types of standard annuity, the entire accumulated amount is allocated to acquire the annuity and the state social insurance fund pays the benefits in addition to the old-age pension paid by the state. In the case of a deferred annuity, until the age of 85 benefits are paid from the private pension fund (out of the assets remaining after acquisition of the deferred annuity) and those assets can be inherited. From the age of 85, meanwhile, benefits are paid by the state social insurance fund and are not inheritable. If more than EUR 64,841 is accumulated, then the pension assets exceeding that amount may be paid out as a lump sum, while the remainder is paid while you live according to the type of annuity acquired.
