In recent years, the so-called "demographic crisis" occurs in all countries of the world. Pensioners are increasing, while the number of employees decreases. This trend affects the standard of living of the entire population: working citizens bear the growing tax burden, while pensioners receive a pension, do not correspond to the real cost of living, as solidary pension system based on payments generated by contributions of working groups of the population.

As international experience shows, the normal balance is achieved when for every retiree accounts for at least three working citizens, and in our country, this figure is already below. And the forecasts are disappointing: according to various demographic studies, in 20-30 years the number of employees and retirees can match (ie one working person will have one pensioner). This means that in the future it will be impossible to pay pensions to the elderly only by premiums collected from those who work. Therefore, for the age group that is projected to be faced with this problem, we must begin now to collect funds intended for them personally.

New features in the personal accumulation of pension funds opened pension reform carried out in 2004. As a result of the reform of our country has moved from a joint to a mixed pension system, which provides three levels of accumulation pension funds.

First level - it is familiar to us universally valid pension system (solidarity system), where the employee's salary a certain percentage is transferred to the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFC). -Prezhnemu PFC is responsible for the allocation and payment of basic pension each. In doing so, the pension depends on the presence and size of the official salary and insurance period (period of the list of contributions to the Pension Fund of Ukraine for the employee). The earlier start payments of assessed contributions in the PFC and the more wages, which paid the premiums, the greater the amount of pension you can expect.

The second level - a mandatory funded system, which is an obligatory state pension insurance. The essence of such a funded system is that the mandatory deductions from the employee's salary to the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFC) is divided into two parts. One of the contributions goes to the PFC (according to the first level of the pension system), and the second - is stored in a single savings funds or, as the private pension funds - the subjects of the second level and is considered on individual pension accounts of citizens. In the future, these funds will be invested to generate additional income for the benefit of participants in the second level. Upon reaching retirement age, participants of the second level in addition to the payment of the first level will also receive a pension (lump sum or lifetime pension) with a mandatory funded second-tier system. These payments shall be made from the funds accumulated in accumulative pension funds and relevant non-state pension funds.

The third level is - funded voluntary system private pension provision. The system is based on the principles of voluntary participation of citizens (employed and unemployed), as well as employers and their associations in the formation of pension savings in order to obtain additional pension payments to those guaranteed by the state. The third level, except for insurance companies and banks are non-state pension funds (NPF), which function solely for the purpose of:
