More about the fund

*Pension fund return on an annual basis as of 31/12/2021.

The II pillar is your personal reserve of funds, helping you to ensure a more carefree retirement age.

In the II pillar your money is invested. This gives you the chance to grow your money for retirement.

Accumulation in the II pillar takes place in the form of automatic monthly payments and based on your remuneration.

The monthly payment of the II pillar is only a small part of your salary, but if you collect it over the years, it provides a significant reserve.

The II pillar accumulates money according to an efficient 2 + 4 scheme: you put in 2% of your gross salary and the state provides 4% from its part. This is how your personal pension pillar is accumulated, from which you can earn extra money in addition to your state pension in the future.

The current average old-age pension provided by the state is 550 euros. However, this is not enough for a carefree life. Therefore, more than 500,000 people are already accumulating extra money in their II pillar.

The money you accumulate in the II pillar is your personal assets that grows with the rise of financial markets. In addition, the II pillar can be inherited.

It is convenient to accumulate your pension with Swedbank.

Our funds have the lowest fees in Estonia. This way, you accumulate more money.
Excellent return. The rates of return of our pension funds are consistently among the best. You can track the return of the pension funds on the website of Pensionikeskus.

Choose a fund that is suitable for your age.
Submit an application in the Internet Bank to direct your monthly contributions and transfer already accumulated pension assets to suitable fund.
Contributions will start going into the selected fund the following month.

- 1. August – 30. November, exchange takes place on the first working day of January;

By choosing Swedbank you make sure your money is invested into companies that care about fair wages, gender equality, climate change mitigation, responsible consumption and production. We believe that sustainable investments in pension funds are more resilient to the shocks such as financial crisis or pandemic.

- 400 mEUR into green bonds or bonds screened under sustainability criteria;

- 570 mEUR into shares screened under sustainability criteria.
Sustainable pension funds exclude damaging industries. Swedbank has a “blacklist” for companies in which we don’t invest. You can be sure that your money does not support weapons industry, coal mining or human rights violations.

Our following funds comply with the principles of sustainability: II Pillar Index, K100, K60, K30, K10, III Pillar Index, V100, V60, V30, V100 Index, V60 Index, V30 Index.

When you retire you have three options to start using your money.

Regular payouts, i.e. fund pension. If you set a period for payouts, which corresponds to your life expectancy, then you are able to use the money with a 0% income tax rate. For a shorter period, the income tax is 10%.
One-off payout, on the amount of which you have to pay 10% income tax.
Whole life insurance contract or insurance for a specified term.

You will already be able to withdraw money on more favourable terms 5 years before retirement. In case of no work ability, you can withdraw money tax-free.

If necessary, you can opt out of the II pillar and withdraw the accumulated amount before retirement age. Financially, this is a harmful decision for you.

Calculate the opt out cost

The assets you accumulate in your II pillar are fully inheritable.

It is up to the heirs to choose whether to withdraw the accumulated money or to inherit the fund units, which will be transferred to their pension accounts. These options can also be combined: to withdraw part of the money and transfer part of the fund units to a pension account.

If the heirs decide to withdraw the money that has been saved, they will have to pay income tax on the amount.

In order to inherit the investment units, an application and a succession certificate should be submitted within 10 years of the opening of succession.

Legal heirs can apply for the redemption of inherited investment units.
