Risk labelling

Risk labelling related to your pension savings

In order to make it easier for you to understand and compare the risk on your pension savings, all pension products in the market rate environment are “labelled” with a risk value between 1.0 and 5.9:

  • Risk values between 5.0 and 5.9 are the highest. Here, your savings may fluctuate significantly from one year to the next.
  • Risk values between 1.0 and 1.9 represent the lowest risk. Here, fluctuations will generally be less pronounced.

 

The risk value is calculated for all market rate products in PFA Plus and PFA Climate Plus including the investment profiles (A, B, C and D) and PFA Optional.

Below, you can see the risk values of the various market rate products with and without CustomerCapital.

PFA Plus, PFA Climate Plus and PFA Optional have last been updated Jan. 1, 2021.

Risk labelling of investment profiles A, B, C and D with CustomerCapital

In the investment profiles in PFA Plus, the risk is gradually reduced as retirement approaches. This is illustrated in the figure and table, which show the risk value of the four profiles depending on the number of years until retirement. In terms of risk, CustomerCapital is placed with 5 % in Global Equity. Read more about CustomerCapital and see your exact share of CustomerCapital at My PFA.

    Profile risk classification

    Based on Insurance & Pension Denmark’s risk bands, the profiles are risk classified with these classifications:
    Profile A: Low risk
    Profile B: Low risk
    Profile C: Medium risk
    Profile D: High risk

    Deviations from Insurance & Pension Denmark’s (IPD) risk classification 

    PFA’s profiles deviate from their risk classification at the following times:

    ● PFA Plus Profile B: The risk values are 0.1-0.3 above IPD’s risk classification for low risk at: 21 to 12 years until retirement plus 2 to 5 years after retirement, where it is classified as medium risk according to IPD.

    ● PFA Plus Profile C: The risk values are 0.1-0.4 above IPD’s risk classification for medium risk at: 25 to 12 years until retirement plus 2 to 5 years after retirement, where it is classified as high risk according to IPD.

    ● PFA Plus Profile A and Profile D with CustomerCapital are not deviating from their risk classification.

    Short-term and long-term risk

    Pension savings entail two types of risk. The short-term risk illustrates how much the value of your savings may fluctuate during the next year. And the long-term risk illustrates the level of uncertainty related to your future payouts when you retire.

    The risk value is only an expression of the short-term risk – i.e. how much the value of your savings may fluctuate during the next year.

    The risk depends on your age

    When the risk is high, the return expectations are also high. Therefore, most pension plans entail a high risk while the customer is young. While the customer is young, there is time to regain any losses sustained during years with negative developments on the financial markets.

    When the customer gets older, there is less time to regain any losses sustained. Thus, most pension plans gradually reduce the risk as the customer gets older.

  • Risk values between 5.0 and 5.9 represent the highest risk. Here, your savings may fluctuate significantly from one year to the next.
  • Risk values between 1.0 and 1.9 represent the lowest risk. Here, fluctuations will generally be less pronounced.

    • Once you have found the risk value, you can see here how much the savings may fluctuate throughout a year (link to Insurance & Pension Denmark's website, in Danish only).

    Short-term and long-term risk

    Pension savings entail two types of risk. The short-term risk illustrates how much the value of your savings may fluctuate during the next year. And the long-term risk illustrates the level of uncertainty related to your future payouts when you retire.

    The risk value is only an expression of the short-term risk – i.e. how much the value of your savings may fluctuate during the next year.

    The risk depends on your age

    When the risk is high, the return expectations are also high. Therefore, most pension plans entail a high risk while the customer is young. While the customer is young, there is time to regain any losses sustained during years with negative developments on the financial markets.

    When the customer gets older, there is less time to regain any losses sustained. Thus, most pension plans gradually reduce the risk as the customer gets older.

    Short-term and long-term risk

    Pension savings entail two types of risk. The short-term risk illustrates how much the value of your savings may fluctuate during the next year. And the long-term risk illustrates the level of uncertainty related to your future payouts when you retire.

    The risk value is only an expression of the short-term risk – i.e. how much the value of your savings may fluctuate during the next year.

    The risk depends on your age

    When the risk is high, the return expectations are also high. Therefore, most pension plans entail a high risk while the customer is young. While the customer is young, there is time to regain any losses sustained during years with negative developments on the financial markets.

    When the customer gets older, there is less time to regain any losses sustained. Thus, most pension plans gradually reduce the risk as the customer gets older.
