Definition: Pension funds
Category: Living conditions
The pool of assets forming an independent legal entity that are bought with the contributions to a pension plan for the exclusive purpose of financing pension plan benefits. The plan/fund members have a legal or beneficial right or some other contractual claim against the assets of the pension fund. Pension funds take the form of either a special purpose entity with legal personality (such as a trust, foundation, or corporate entity) or a legally separated fund without legal personality managed by a dedicated provider (pension fund management company) or other financial institution on behalf of the plan/fund members. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/oecd_pension_class_and_gloss_en_and_fr.pdf
