What is a Specified Personal Pension?

A Specified Personal Pension is a special type of pension savings that is particularly suitable for those who are in the second half of their working life. 

More private property, less mutual insurance (lifelong and support pension)

The Specified Personal Pension is created by dividing the mandatory premium. You have the option of allocating almost a quarter of your monthly premium to specified private property. In this way, you increase private property savings at the expense of mutual insurance rights. 

Who is the specified personal pension best suited to?

A Specified Personal Pension may be suitable for you if you are entering the second half of your working life. If you choose to pay into the Specified Personal Pension, less will be spent on mutual insurance. A Specified Personal Pension may be suitable for you if you have already earned good lifelong pension rights or are financially well off.
