Your Danica Balance options



Reduction of your investment risk

With Danica Balance, we automatically gradually reduce the risk related to your pension savings. At first, you have a larger proportion of equities and other higher-risk investments. As you get older, we gradually reduce this proportion by replacing equities with bonds and other lower-risk investments.

We invest your pension savings flexibly, however, meaning that we may choose to increase or reduce the level of risk in our investment, as we consider most advantageous. You can choose between three risk profiles – low, medium and high. Our recommendation is a medium risk profile, which is also the standard profile offered to new customers.


Fixed portfolio composition

As an alternative to a reduction of your investment risk, you can choose a fixed composition of your investments throughout your savings period. With this, the risk will not be adjusted according to your age. This risk profile is especially suitable if you are willing to accept higher or lower risk than would normally be recommended in relation to your age. If you have a company pension scheme, your employer may have decided to limit your number of options.


Guarantee

With Danica Balance, you can also add on a guarantee commencing 10 years before your retirement, for example. You should only add on the guarantee if you want to protect your payout during retirement. The guarantee ensures that you receive a minimum amount of pension benefits during the guarantee period, no matter how your investments are performing. During the guarantee period, we invest your pension savings according to a special investment strategy, in which we continuously adjust the proportion of equities as and when it is appropriate or required for us to meet the guarantee.

Choose how you want your pension 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. This can either be as a lump sum payout or as regular benefits. Your pension scheme will typically be set up as an annuity pension scheme, a life annuity or a retirement savings scheme.

When you receive pension benefits

Whether or not you have added on a guarantee, we will continue to invest your pension savings while you receive benefits. If you do not already have a guarantee, you can add one if you want to protect your payout during retirement, so that you always know your minimum amount of benefits.
