PENSIONS IN DENMARK
PENSIONS Pan European activities are subject to the pan-European IORP Directive, which means that PENSIONS lives up to each country's legislation regarding social obligations, labor market rules, tax, information, and "good practice" rules, in Denmark regulated by the Danish FSA. This means that even though PENSIONS is a Pan European pension fund, we operate in the Danish market under the same framework as our colleagues within company and labor market pensions. The association consists of the members, who are both employers and employees. The highest authority is the board of directors, where employers who are members of the pension fund, cf. PENSIONS OFP's articles of association have the right to attend and vote.
PENSIONS OFP is founded by PENSIONS Management A/S. PENSIONS Management A/S represents PENSIONS OFP in Denmark and provides, for PENSIONS OFP, a unique Investment and Administration platform. The platform is developed and prepared to operate in all EU markets, as well as in the EEA countries Norway, Switzerland and Lichtenstein.
All pension savings (technical provisions) must by law be segregated into deposit(s) for the protection of members. Danish members' savings are placed in Danish depository institutions. Pension savings are invested in accordance with the wishes of the customer and the employer, and within the framework of PENSIONS investment policy (SIP) approved by PENSIONS OFP's Board of Directors.
Danish pension schemes with associated group insurance policies are in general insured by Euro Accident Liv, a branch of Euro Accident Livsforsäkring AB. Coverage includes Loss of Employment, Premium Exemption, Death, Critical Illness and Health Insurance. Annuity savings contain a general lifetime risk on lifelong annuities. PENSIONS actuarial calculations are updated annually in accordance with the Danish FSA's annually updated life tables. The lifetime risk is reinsured with Hannover Re in Germany, the third largest reinsurance company in the world with a strong track record in lifetime reinsurance solutions.
PENSION information to the members will, as a minimum, always comply with applicable laws and executive orders under the supervision of the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority. For the purpose of calculating and displaying pension forecasts, we use current societal assumptions prepared by the industry and the Danish Bankers Association. For use in calculating and displaying Annual Costs in Kr. (ÅOK) and Annual Costs as a Percentage (ÅOP), we use the current Cost Recommendation prepared by the Industry.
PENSIONS OFP is registered with the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (www.ftnet.dk) and is approved by SKAT with SE no. 1294 6767 to offer and manage pension products such as capital, installment and old-age pensions as well as termination and lifelong annuities. The approval is accompanied by the normal obligations for reporting, withholding and paying taxes and fees related to the members' pension savings.
