Choose a more sustainable way of saving for pension

From 18 May, 2023, we changed the names of Luminor's supplementary voluntary pension accumulation (III pillar) funds. In the names of pension funds, we indicated the age of the clients, according to which it is recommended to choose a particular pension fund or make a switch:
  • Luminor pensija 1 plius becomes Luminor ateitis 58+
  • Luminor pensija 2 plius becomes Luminor ateitis 50-58
  • Luminor pensija 3 plius becomes Luminor ateitis 16-50
The purpose of the amendments is to make the easier decision for clients to choose an additional voluntary pension accumulation (III pillar) fund that is able to best meet the expectations of clients and take on the appropriate level of risk, which allows them to use their full investment potential. The funds' investment strategies, fees, and other details remain unchanged.

Why save in the III pension pillar? Frequently asked questions

Why start saving in III pension pillar now?

After the amendments to the Personal Income Tax Law approved by the Seimas, the personal income tax (PIT) benefit for contributions to III pillar pension funds is cancelled for future agreements. For contracts concluded before 31st of December 2024, and for contributions based on these agreements, paid until 31st of December 2034, this benefit can still be applied for 10 years. For new contracts concluded from 1st of January 2025, the PIT benefit will not be applicable.

By concluding III pension pillar contract before the end of this year, it is possible to take advantage of the personal income tax relief and recover up to 20 % of the contributions made during the calendar year to III pillar pension funds, not exceeding 25 % of the annual salary, but not more than EUR 1,500. In this way, a total of up to EUR 300 per year (up to EUR 3,000 in 10 years) can be recovered.

What do the numbers in the titles of pension funds mean?

The numbers indicate the age of persons, whose expectations could be met most accurately by choosing this fund, taking into account the individual's life cycle.

It is recommended to review your personal strategy for the third pension pillar savings regularly, considering the risk level of the pension fund, your age, and your expected investment return. As retirement age approaches, it is recommended to consider switching the fund to a more conservative "Luminor ateitis 58+" in order to reduce potential investment risk.

Why is it important to choose a right fund for your age for your pension savings?

When saving for retirement, it is important to choose an investment strategy that fits your goals. The chosen strategy plays an important role in determining the potential performance of your investment.

Why should young people have funds with a higher proportion of stocks in it?

The basic rule for choosing a long-term investment strategy is that younger people should invest in the most aggressive funds, which have maximum equity proportions and also the greatest return potential. The reason behind it is that historically stocks have proven to have a higher return than bonds, but they are also riskier – meaning their value can also fall more during turbulent times.

When should I change my pension fund strategy?

Our recommendation is that you change your pension fund when you reach closer to retirement age. Then it is time to gradually scale down the risk by moving to the next fund based on your age.

Is it possible to withdraw funds from the III pillar pension funds before reaching retirement age?

Yes, it is possible, but it is very important to familiarize yourself with the pricelist of pension funds and other taxation conditions. Funds withdrawn from the III pillar pension funds will not be subject to income tax if all below conditions are met:

  • The participant has reached the minimum retirement age* (5 years lower than the old‑age pension age),
    AND
  • The validity period of the pension fund contract is not less than 5 years from the first payment.

More information is in Article 17 of GPMI.
 
*Also, when the contract was concluded before 2012 12 31 and the person has reached the age of 55, or when the customer has 0‑25 % or 30‑40 % disability.
