Every company that has a group pension (defined benefit) in Storebrand, annually receive a statement of account for their pension scheme.

The account shows the financial result for the pension scheme. It simultaneously shows the transactions and the development in the pension assets during the accounting year. The statement will be sent out during March the year after the accounting year. 

For risk benefits attached to a defined contribution plan, the statement of account shows transactions on fund assets for the pension scheme. If there are members that receive pension (disability, survivors), the statement of account also shows the transactions on pension assets for these members. Risk benefits attached to a defined contribution plan are thus treated as a defined benefit plan for disability- and survivors pension being paid when it comes to the statement of account. For other risk benefits that have no associated savings on a defined contribution plan, the same applies.

For the savings to retirement pension on defined contribution plan, the statement of account contains information about the savings portfolio and the annual contribution associated with the retirement pension coverage.
