Pension Fund
The Albsig Voluntary Pension Fund is an alternative to adding income to the guaranteed state pension. It is a defined contribution scheme. The fund is created to solve the problems of the state system, where as a result of increasing life expectancy, it does not provide sufficient income to a large part of the population during the retirement age.
The fund is addressed to clients with a low-risk tolerance. The fund invests mainly in long-term government bonds of the Republic of Albania.

Type of Plans
Professional Plan: The professional plan is opened by an employer where the employer and the employee contribute together to the account opened for the employee.
Individual Plan: The individual plan is opened by an individual where she/he contributes to the desired extent.
Contributions to the Pension Fund
Payments will be made to the account number of IBAN AL76 2061 1004 0000 1003 2114 7100, opened at the depository bank, Banka Tirana Sh.a,
The Management Company converts the contributions invested in the Fund into a pension quotas or units. Each pension unit represents a proportional share of ownership in each of the Fund’s assets. The total value of the units in the Fund is always equal to the total net asset value of the Fund( Net asset value consists of the total value of assets reduced from deduction of liabilities and fees).
Example of buying a pension quota:
If after a certain period the unit price would increase to 1,600 Lekë, the value of the member’s assets will be equal to 2 (units) x 1,600 ALL = 3,200 ALL.
When a member of the Fund temporarily or permanently interrupts the payment of the contributions, he remains a member of the Fund with the same rights as the other members of the pension fund.
