Tidspension

You can no longer choose Tidspension or make further lump-sum contributions to a Tidspension scheme with guarantee.

Tidspension differs from other savings products. As a customer, you have two accounts: one for your contributions and one for your investment return. Tidspension has a unique set-up and is not like other pension schemes.

Tidspension consists of two accounts:

  • Pensionskonto (pension account)
  • Bufferkonto (buffer account)

We will place your contributions in your pension account (P account). Your investment return will be placed in your buffer account (B account) and regularly transferred to your P account savings. This way, you can achieve a high expected return and ensure stability in your benefit payments.

Facts about Tidspension

  • Advantages of Tidspension

    High expected return

    Part of your savings is invested in Tidspension where our goal is to invest between 50 and 70 percent in equities and similar risky assets. The remainder is more low-risk securities. That way, you have the opportunity to achieve an expected high return, both during the savings period and the payout period.” 

    Financial security and stability

    Generally, an attractive investment profile with a large proportion of equities and other high-risk assets means that returns will fluctuate significantly. When the investment market performance is up, your pension savings return will increase – and when the investment market performance drops, you will get a negative return. However, you will not notice the fluctuations much, as a special equalisation mechanism ensures that your benefit payments are stable, even though the overall investment return fluctuates.

  • Return in Tidspension

    Your return is individual and depends on your expected retirement age and the way your money is paid out. This means that your own individual return will be between the return from Tidspensionsfonden and the return from Fastrentefonden.
