Open Pension Fund OTP Pension – the sole founder of the fund is the asset management company OTP Capital, which is part of the OTP Group in Ukraine. The history of the OTP Pension Fund began in 2009. The fund was established to accumulate pension funds for the benefit of individuals, regardless of their place and nature of work, to further manage them, invest with income for the benefit of participants and make pension payments. During the period of its activity, the fund has gone from a beginner to a leading participant in the private pension market.

Open Pension Fund FreeFlight – OTP Capital became the sole founder of the fund in December 2018. From that moment on, OTP Capital completely reoriented the fund's investment strategy. Currently, the investment strategy of the FreeFlight Fund is based on the protection of funds from the devaluation of the national currency. This approach to asset management allowed us to offer a unique product on the market of private pension provision in Ukraine and protect the savings of fund members from devaluation. The fund's assets are fully placed in foreign currency instruments and are valued at the current NBU exchange rate. Thus, with the growth of the dollar, in addition to foreign exchange yields, the participant will receive income from devaluation.
