Which pension fund suits you the best?
If you have more than 10 years until retirement, then you have an opportunity to choose between two different investment styles.
- Actively managed funds – when a fund is actively managed, an SEB fund manager regularly monitors and amends investment portfolios according to economic and financial market outlooks. The fund manager makes investments to global listed markets, as well as local markets and asset classes not accessible to index funds – such as private equity, real estate and venture capital. SEB can increase equity investments up to 110% (if you invest 100 EUR, it's as if you invested 110 EUR). The fund manager follows the SEB sustainability strategy to make a positive impact on society and environment, in addition to earning the highest possible return.
- Passively managed funds – when a fund is passively managed, its aim is to follow the performance of global financial market indices. With index funds, an SEB fund manager doesn't manage the market risk of the fund. The fund makes investments only to global listed equity markets.
Choosing an investment plan depends on your preferred level of involvement and risk-tolerance. Both options are suitable for your age group.
