What is the OP Savings Agreement (OP Säästösopimus)?

OP Savings Agreement is a unit-linked capital redemption contract for long-term savers with an investment horizon of at least three years. The Savings Agreement is an insurance contract, but it is not a traditional insurance policy that provides compensation for accidents, for example. A capital redemption contract does not involve an insured person or a separately appointed beneficiary.

The insurance contract forms a wrapper to which various investment products such as funds are added. The development of the savings follows the performance of the investments selected for the contract. One of the advantages of saving through insurance is that you can switch between investments inside the insurance wrapper without paying tax on capital gains. Along the way, there may be market upturns and downturns and major changes in your life that may make you want to re-evaluate your investment plans. You can build your personal investment portfolio within the OP Savings Agreement.

The maximum period of validity of the OP Savings Agreement is 30 years. When the saving period ends, the funds accrued in the savings agreement are paid to you. Of course, you can withdraw funds at any time during the agreement's period of validity. 

One capital redemption contract – plenty of flexibility

  • You can save a monthly sum, make larger investments at once or both
  • You can raise or lower the amount you save monthly at any time, make additional investments or take a break from saving.
  • You can also withdraw all or some of your savings at any time. There are no restrictions to the number of withdrawals.
  • OP Savings Agreement is valid for 30 years or until you turn 100 years of age, but you can also terminate the agreement earlier.
  • We offer both high-risk, high-yield investment products and options for more conservative investors. If your circumstances change, you can easily switch to other investments that match your new needs.
