OTP Capital took over the “Pension Savings Fund”

OTP Capital ended the year adding to its non-governmental pension funds. The company has taken over one more pension fund – Open Non-Governmental Pension Fund “Pension Savings Fund” under the TAS group.

Non-Governmental Pension Fund “Pension Savings Fund” was registered in 2006 and has been under the TAS group since 2012. Currently, the fund’s assets amount to UAH 800,000. This is quite a small fund by market standards, but there are plans made by its owners for its active growth in the near future. TAS Group has extensive experience in the life insurance and pension markets, so private pension provision is a strategic direction for the group.

“We have long planned to develop the private pension savings. We have to make some important functional changes and improve the yielding of the fund. When choosing a new management company, OTP Capital was our priority choice influenced by the earlier emerged results of our mutual work, as well as high expertise and leadership in the field of management of non-governmental pension funds”, said Rostyslav Borysenko, the Chairman of the Board of Open Non-Governmental Pension Fund “Pension Savings Fund”.

“For us, diversifying the cooperation with the TAS group is strengthening our partnership, on the one hand, and adding a product to the portfolio with a good potential for an active growth, on the other hand. In addition to our major task, which is the successful management of the fund assets, we are ready to share our expertise and cooperate actively for the development and popularization of non-governmental pensioning in Ukraine”, said Natalia Mezhenska, CEO of AMC OTP Capital.

OTP Capital and TAS have been cooperating closely for over eight successful years. The first cooperation agreement was in December 2013. That time OTP Capital took over the TAS-Invest assets of TAS Insurance Company for the first time. Afterwards our cooperation with TAS Insurance Company has become more fruitful, and today OTP Capital is managing part of TAS savings insurance reserves in addition to its investment portfolio.

As a result, the continuous fruitful cooperation of the managers of the asset management company with the insurance market representatives resulted into a steady structured linkage between all units – from the back office to risk management. Over a long time of mutual work, the companies managed to test and implement the best and, thus, the successful strategies for managing insurance assets and reserves.

This time we cooperated for a completely different product. Non-Governmental Pension Fund “Pension Savings Fund” was registered in 2006 and has been under the TAS group since 2012. Currently, the fund’s assets amount to UAH 800,000. This is quite a small fund by market standards, but there are plans made by its owners for its active growth in the near future. TAS Group has extensive experience in the life insurance and pension markets, so private pension provision is a strategic direction for the group.
