The deposit interest rate is the interest rate added to the average rate pension schemes.
Generally, the deposit interest rate is determined annually, but it may be adjusted upwards or downwards during the year due to e.g. substantial fluctuations on the financial markets.
The deposit interest rate is determined on basis of the previous years' actual returns (in DKK) and the pension fund's financial situation.
Overall, the pension fund has two types of pension schemes:
- Pension schemes with a deposit interest rate
- Pension schemes on market rate
The pension schemes with a deposit interest rate include:
Schemes with a non-guaranteed supplementary pension (new schemes):
- P+ Regulations 2019
