The problem of accreditation of non-state pension funds is quite relevant and significant, especially for those people who are seriously thinking about alternative options for investing the funded part of their future pension. The main function of the NPF is just the same and is to multiply the future pension of people.
Accreditation 2015
In accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation, by the end of 2015, all non-state pension funds had to pass all the necessary state checks and obtain the proper license from the NPF. Accreditation in 2015 was mandatory. The license is a guarantor of the reliability and safety of the savings of Russian citizens. Which NPFs were accredited in 2015? To date, only dozens out of a hundred applicants have passed such a test. Let's get acquainted with them in more detail.
What are NPFs
NPF is a companymanaging money without access to people's personal accounts. In fact, this company is engaged in investing material resources in profitable securities and profitable projects, of course, to obtain monetary benefits. For the performance of its activities, the NPF receives commissions.
Fund Benefits
The income that such funds acquire when investing savings is much higher than in the FIU. The fact is that the fund uses a fairly flexible system for working with funds, unlike the PFR, which transfer funds only through VEB. Our state, in turn, firmly controls the types of assets for investment of the fund's resources, which guarantees the safety of citizens' financial savings.
High returns are just one of the features of the funds. Here are other benefits:
- very fast and convenient service, you can also control your savings online;
- high reliability and security - all the accumulated funds of citizens are insured in the DIA and in case of bankruptcy or revocation of the license from the NPF will be returned to the legal entity;
- publicity and honesty - the organization carries out its work in the status of OJSC, therefore it provides financial statements of its activities every year;
- timely conclusion of contracts.
If clients are not satisfied with the work of the NPF, at any time you can change the fund to another acceptable option without losing a penny from your account.
Statistical data of NPFs
If you look at the statistics of recent years, you can see that since 1998 the number of organizations with a license has dropped significantly (in fact, from 200 organizations to dozens of them). However, one can note an increasing trend in the number of funds that have declared their desire to carry out activities under the OPS.
What factors are such indications associated with? First, the requirements and attention from the legislation to NPFs have greatly increased. Secondly, NPFs were given the opportunity to conduct activities on compulsory pension insurance. Due to even these few factors, in recent years, the processes of pooling funds can be observed.
Which NPFs were accredited in 2015? Lists of funds are presented below.
Fund classification
According to the forms of activity of funds, the following types of NPFs can be distinguished:

- Corporate. They are also called conventionally captive. The activity of such companies is also based on servicing the pension programs of employees of their organizers. Every year, part of the pension funds in the NPF portfolio increases. The main modification of the status from captive to corporate takes place to attract pension savings under corporate programs of clients.
- Open, or universal. Being largely independent oflarge financial and industrial groups, such funds organize their work for the widest possible range of citizens. Assets tend to be dominated by pension savings.
- Territorial funds operate mainly in a particular region or group of regions. Such funds are formed with the assistance and support of the current government.
