Nordea's PS agreement available in Finland from 1 April 2010
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The act on long-term savings, which entered into force on 1 January 2010,
introduces a new alternative to voluntary pension insurance. Effective 1 April,
Nordea's customers will be able to enter into a pension savings agreement (PS
agreement) that enables them to save through shares, bonds, investment funds and
accounts. This savings form will also include tax incentives.
Nordea's PS agreements are subject to a management fee of 0.3% of the savings.
However, the minimum charge is 2 euros per month. Management fees are not
payable for the first 12 months if the agreement is made this year. Management
fees for Nordea's Key Customers are waived for the first three years.
Any equity and bond orders related to the PS agreement are subject to Nordea's
normal fees, but this does not include fund subscription or redemption fees.
- I believe this new alternative will inspire many of our customers to start
pension saving. This is an excellent opportunity to influence the return on your
pension savings, says Risto Kuoppamäki from Nordea's Savings & Asset Management.
Pension insurance policies entered into on or after 18 September 2009 and
savings accrued under a PS agreement can be transferred from one service
provider to another without tax consequences. However, in connection with a
transfer, the agreement's terms and conditions will always be amended to comply
with new legislation as well as the terms and conditions of the new service
provider.
Savings accrued under both PS agreements and pension insurance policies can be
withdrawn after reaching the statutory retirement pension age. Both alternatives
are treated equally for taxation purposes.
