Your return
The return on your savings is determined on a regular basis. We call this the rate of interest on policyholders’ savings. It is determined based on the economic situation, investments for the year and the outlook for the coming years. In periods when things are going well, we usually raise the rate of interest on policyholders’ savings, and in periods when things are not going well, we may lower it. We make sure that the interest rate does not fluctuate too much.
With Danica Traditionel, you are guaranteed a minimum amount when you retire, as the scheme includes a minimum payout guarantee. The guaranteed amount depends on when your scheme was set up.
If the rate of interest on policyholders’ savings is higher than expected, your payout will also be higher than the guaranteed amount.
How do you want your savings to be paid out?
When you set up a pension scheme, you also choose how you want your pension savings to be paid out when you retire. You may receive a lump sum or regular benefits – and for different periods of your retirement. Your pension scheme will be set up as a retirement savings scheme, an annuity pension scheme or a life annuity.
If we decide to increase the amount of benefits, we can do so in two ways. Either through a non-guaranteed increase, which can be reversed at a later date – we call this pension savings adjustment – or through a guaranteed increase, which cannot be reversed – we call this a bonus.
Surrender charge – extra security during bad times
In periods of substantial financial market turmoil, if some customers move their savings it may lead to a loss for the remaining customers. We are required by law to prevent this, and we do so by activating a so-called surrender charge. This means that if the savings are transferred prematurely, a percentage of the savings will be added to the standard transfer costs. The surrender charge is also applicable to premature payouts.
Special allotments to customers from the former Statsanstalten for Livsforsikring
Statsanstalten for Livsforsikring was privatised in 1990 and is now part of Danica. As part of the privatisation agreement, customers from Statsanstalten for Livsforsikring are entitled to a share of Danica's profit if its dividends or equity reach a specific level. The agreement comprises customers that have schemes with bonus entitlement.
If there are special allotments, they are distributed in April on the basis of the annual accounts for the previous year, after which they appear in the customers’ account summary in Netpension.
