Pension from three sources ensuring greater security for retirement days

In terms of the individual, the reformed pension system provides greater security so that the financing of pensions shall be made from the three pillars:

  • Pension and Disability Insurance Fund- First Pension Pilar;
  • Mandatory Pension Fund – Second Pension Pillar;
  • Voluntary Pension Fund – Third Pension Pillar, which will enable additional pension savings in case of voluntary savings.

The part of the pension paid from the First Pillar shall be calculated according to a predetermined formula based on the salary and length of service.

The second part of the pension shall be paid from the mandatory individual account of the member in the Mandatory Pension Fund managed by KB First Pension Company, as one of the sources within the mandatory fully funded pension insurance – Second Pillar.

The third part of the pension shall be paid from the voluntary individual account or professional account of the member in the Voluntary Pension Fund managed by the Company as one of the sources within the voluntary fully funded pension insurance – Third Pillar.

Investing in compliance with legal regulations

Investments of both KB First Open Mandatory Pension Fund – Skopje and KB First Open Voluntary Pension Fund – Skopje shall be made in accordance with strict legal regulations in order to maximize the yield for the benefit of members and retired members, and through diversification and financial analysis, to minimize the risk of losses.

The assets of Funds managed by the Company are invested under the continuous supervision of the Agency for Supervision of Fully Funded Pension Insurance – MAPAS, while the Custodian Bank keeps them separate from the assets of the Company.
