議会法案は、新規採用の従業員の年金プラン(第二の年金の柱)への加入の義務化の他、一部の年金制度から保証を除外し、一部については資産の20%以上を高リスク資産に配分することを強制する内容となっている。


The pension fund range will be extended by an index tracker fund, but, at the same time, all funds except the conservative bonds-only funds will lose their guarantees, which pension fund companies had to grant.

Under revised investment regulations, funds will have the ability to use hold-to-maturity valuation and invest in precious metals, while the growth funds will be required to hold a minimum of 20 per cent in equities. Industry experts have criticised the latter change as a bad move in a difficult market environment.
