ANNOUNCEMENT
Open Doors Day in UAPF JSC - exploring the possibilities of investing our pension savings
As part of the information and outreach work among the population, on December 11 and 13, 2024, UAPF JSC will hold an Open Doors Day on the topic: “IPM Investment Strategies. Consideration of Current Issues of Contributors”.
During the Open Day, UAPF contributors will have a unique opportunity to receive information about pension asset management directly from representatives of investment portfolio managers (IPMs). Each IPM will present its investment strategy and answer questions from event participants. UAPF specialists will tell you where to find information about IPMs and how to transfer savings to them if the investor has made their choice.
As you know, since January 2021, UAPF contributors have been able to transfer their pension savings to private investment companies - IPMs. Initially, it was possible to transfer only savings that exceeded the minimum sufficiency threshold or remained in the pension account after concluding a pension annuity agreement with an insurance company. However, since July 1, 2023, investment opportunities have expanded: now UAPF contributors can transfer up to 50% of their savings through compulsory and compulsory occupational pension contributions, as well as 100% of voluntary contributions to trust management of private companies.
The meeting will be held online, which will allow everyone to take part. We hope that it will be useful to everyone - both contributors and journalists involved in covering topics related to the funded pension system of Kazakhstan.
Registration is required to participate in the event.
