Currently, the fund has 191 participants with UAH 736 thousand on their accounts.

"It's a small fund, but we have great plans for it. We want to redirect its investment strategy exclusively to USD-denominated and other foreign currency instruments. Thus, the fund participants will actually receive USD yield, which also means their savings will be protected against devaluation, because all savings will be revaluated in USD at NBU exchange rate. The launch of the fund’s sales, including OTP Bank branches, will expand our product line and offer a unique product to our clients", said Vitaliy Dyshlovy, Head of Sales and Marketing Department of AMC “OTP Capital”.

"OTP Capital" has been managing assets of "FreeFlight" since August 2017, with limited rights for determining its investment strategy, which is established by Pension Fund Board elected by the previous founder.
