Which plan is the most suitable for you?

Actively managed funds – When a fund is actively managed, an SEB fund manager regularly monitors and amends investment portfolios according to economic and financial market outlooks. The fund manager makes investments to global listed markets, as well as local markets and asset classes not accessible to index funds – such as private equity, real estate and venture capital. The fund manager follows the SEB sustainability strategy to make a positive impact on society and environment, in addition to earning the highest possible return.

Passively managed funds – When a fund is passively managed, its aim is to follow the performance of global financial market indices. With index funds, an SEB fund manager doesn't manage the market risk of the fund. The fund makes investments only in global listed equity markets.

Balanced investing

Before retirement age, wait for the right moment and change your pension plan to a more conservative one, making the most of investments in bonds. This will help to better preserve your accumulated capital.

Is the contract fee an important criterion in choosing the 2nd pension pillar plan?

Contract fees are an important criterion for choosing a 2nd pension pillar plan – the lower the contract fees, the higher the proportion of contributions that go into savings (SEB contract fees are among the lowest in the market). But it is important to look at the plan as a whole: whether it is age-suitable, what its long-term profitability is, where the investments are made and other aspects.

What is the difference between passive and active management?

For actively managed plans (for example, SEB dynamic plan) the fund manager actively monitors market trends and makes changes to the investment strategy to achieve better results.

For passively managed plans (for example, SEB index plan) the fund manager spreads investments across a wide range of companies without actively changing the investment strategy originally chosen.

Who makes sure my money is safe?

Only licensed investment management companies, such as SEB Investment Management, can manage the 2nd pension pillar. The money management process is closely monitored by the Bank of Latvia and the pension plan’s custodial bank.

You may find out the amount of your 2nd pension pillar savings at any SSIA branch office or in the portal www.latvija.lv (selecting the report "Account statement of participant of 2nd pension pillar" or "SSIA information and services").
