Everything you need to know

Pension account

Tax benefits

Accruing a pension at BrightPensioen is subject to fiscal terms. You can reclaim the tax on your investment and do not pay capital gains tax on your pension assets. Once you have your pension paid out, you must pay income tax. But as a rule, this will be less, as you no longer pay contributions to the state pension.


Restrictions

The government, however, wants something in return. The money is fixed until you retire or up to ten years after you move out of The Netherlands. If you move out, please notify us right away.

Another term is that you can’t invest more than your annual margin every year. Don’t panic! We’ll help you with that. With our easy annual margin tool.

Investment account

Be flexible with your investment account

In addition to your pension account, you can get an additional investment account. This second account allows you to make investments, for example, a sabbatical leave. You still benefit from the tax advantages on your pension account, whilst being flexible with your investment account.


No tax benefits on your investment account

Your investment account (the second free account) has no tax benefits. You can’t reclaim the tax on your investment on this account, and you do pay capital gains tax on your investment account assets.

Both accounts

We invest your money

All pension suppliers invest the money of the participants. So do we! There is no other magic trick to grow your money.

Our target return is 6% at an inflation of 2%. This is realistic but not guaranteed since past returns are no guarantee for the future.


Investing can involve risks

The value of your investments can increase or decrease. Of course, we try to minimalise this. We spread the investments over all regions globally and all industries. The risk profile is neutral, with a maximum of 60% stocks and 40% (green)bonds. We rebalance every month and automatically decrease the risk ten years before your retirement date.

The risk for this product is medium.

Both accounts

Your pension assets at Bright always remain yours

Even when you change jobs or stop working or become an entrepreneur. You can continue to use your account. So, no more fuss with separate funds. Please notice that there may be different rules when you move out of The Netherlands. Contact us if you have any questions.


A contribution break is also an option

There may be situations in which you, as a participant, would like to stop contributing. For example, you switch from an employer without a pension scheme to an employer with a collective pension plan. Or when you are self-employed and quit your business. You can opt for a payment stop (read the Terms and Conditions).
