Denmark's largest unit-link scheme

The Special Pension Savings Scheme (SP) (in Danish Særlig Pensionsopsparing) forms part of the Danish statutory pension schemes. Until now, the capital in SP has been managed by the Danish Labour Market Supplementary Pension Scheme (ATP), but an Act to amend the Act on the Danish Labour Market Supplementary Pension Scheme on freedom of choice in the SP Scheme makes it possible for the account holders in SP to influence how the savings are invested.

This is done among other things by making it possible for the account holders to invest their savings in collective investment schemes via the Internet portal Folkebørsen™. Folkebørsen™ works as a unit-link scheme offering a number of collective investment schemes. Each collective investment scheme corresponds to investment in units in a certain investment undertaking. It is up to the investment undertakings to decide whether to join the scheme.

The opportunity for account holders to invest their savings became available in January 2005. The number of account holders in SP is estimated to be approximately 3.3 million. At the end of 2003, the total market value amounted to approximately DKK 43 billion. As a result, SP will be the largest unit-link scheme in Denmark.
