Pension Investment Account

For you if you want to grow your pension funds yourself.

  • Manage the self-created pension fund: decide your investment strategy and make the transactions.
  • The maintenance of the pension portfolio is free of charge and transaction fees are favourable.
  • With Swedbank’s Robur funds, you will always have access to world markets.
  • The leverage of the second pillar remains: the state adds two euros to each one euro of yours.

What is the PIA?

The Pension Investment Account (PIA) is a tool for those who want to invest their pension themselves.

Using a PIA, you will continue collecting pension with the benefits of the II pillar, as the PIA will allow you to receive regular contributions on the basis of the profitable 2 + 4 scheme:

  • 2% of the funds come from your gross wages;
  • 4% is added by the state at the expense of the social tax paid on your wages.

You can also transfer money already collected in the II pillar pension fund to your PIA. You can decide on your own whether to transfer all or part of the amount. In the same way, you can also transfer the money on the PIA back to the II pillar fund. Read more about withdrawing money from the PIA here.

Why open the PIA with Swedbank?

When using the PIA in Swedbank, the same favourable price list applies to your transactions as if you would be making investments using a Securities Account registered in Swedbank. Simple and without any hidden fees!

  • Transactions with Swedbank`s Robur funds are free of charge.
  • Transactions with Baltic shares are free of charge.

You may have several PIA’s, but contributions can only go to one account or pension fund at a time.

documentConditions of pension investment account

You will already be able to withdraw money from the PIA on more favourable terms 5 years before retirement. To make payments, you must first sell the securities in your PIA.

You can then choose between three options:

  1. Regular payments (funded pension).
    To do this, you have to transfer the money in the PIA to a pension fund. If you set a period for payments which corresponds to your life expectancy, then you are able to use the money with a 0% income tax rate. Having chosen a shorter period, the income tax paid on the payments is 10%.
  2. One-off payout, the amount of which you have to pay 10% income tax on.
  3. Whole life insurance contract or insurance for a specified term.

In case of no work ability, you can withdraw money tax-free.

From January 2021, money can also be withdrawn from the II pillar before reaching the retirement age. This may not be beneficial for you. Why?

  • By way of withdrawing money from your PIA, you stop collecting in the II pillar system. The money that would otherwise accrue to your personal pension account under the beneficial 2 + 4 scheme will now be used in the state budget to cover the current expenses of the state.
  • You will not be able to collect in the II pillar for the next 10 years. The higher your income, the greater your financial loss.
  • If you leave the II pillar, you will also have to sell your investment in your PIA. The payout is made in cash.
  • You have to pay 20% income tax on the amount to be withdrawn.
