Investment performance of the Hungarian Private and Voluntary Pension Funds (1999-2008)

In compliance with its legal reporting obligation (pursuant to Paragraph 24 Section 2 of the Government Decree No. 281/2001 (XII.26.) on rules pertaining to the investments and operation of voluntary mutual pension funds; and to Paragraph 20 Section 2 of the Government Decree No. 282/2001 (XII.26.) on rules pertaining to the investments and operation of mandatory pension funds), the Hungarian Financial Supervisory Authority hereby discloses the investment performance of the Hungarian Private and Voluntary Pension Funds for the year 2008, and for the ten-year period of 1999-2008.

Pension funds having introduced the Optional Portfolio System in 2008 shall calculate investment performance on portfolio-level.

The average ten-year rate of return is calculated from data based on the publicly announced fund-level annual net rate of return for the period of 1999-2008. For the purpose of calculating the average ten-year rate of return, before the initiation of the Optional Portfolio System, the fund-level net rate of return is used to value performance of each portfolio. 

The average ten-year rate of return shows the performance of the investment (asset) management.

Calculation of the reference index is mandatory since January 2002. Preceding this period there were no regulatory instructions concerning its calculation. The value of this index shall be determined before the investment period, hence, in absence of the standardized legal regulation, the reference index given in the chart below regards only the six-year period of 2002-2008.

The asset-growth index is the capital-weighted average rate of return per person.

For the purposes of calculating this index pension funds applied the fund-level net rate of return used for calculating the average rate of return for the ten-year period of 1999-2008.

The asset-growth index shows the average yield of the individual account of the members.

The information below contains the reported data of the pension funds. Should the disclosed data be displayed with designation of origin, please indicate that the data is not based on our calculations, but is the reported data by the pension funds.
