Why did DDS Tatra banky come up with Comfort lifeTB?
By analyzing the behavior of our clients, we found that the vast majority of savers do not conserve their savings before retirement. In the event of negative developments in the financial markets, they may end up losing a significant part of their future pension from DDS. On the contrary, many young clients choose overly conservative savings with a low potential return. Their future pension could be higher if they set up savings that also invest in growth assets such as stocks, commodities or real estate investments.
The entire change took place under the supervision and approval of the National Bank of Slovakia, which also issued decisions on these changes.
What are the advantages of Comfort lifeTB?
The goal of Comfort lifeTB is to achieve long-term growth of value of your savings in a way that is optimal for your age. A well-chosen Comfort lifeTB fund manages your savings by investing at the beginning of savings with an emphasis on returns and gradually moving the appreciated savings into more conservative assets in order to best protect them from the negative impact of financial markets. This will provide you with absolute comfort, as you no longer have to think about adjusting your pension savings to your current age.
Which fund is right for me?

When choosing a fund, you follow a simple rule, namely your year and month of birth.

Comfort lifeTB will take care of the right mix of riskier and conservative savings for your anticipated retirement.
