Kosovo Pensions Savings Trust
Kosovo Pensions Savings Trust was established in 2001 as a not-for-profit public institution. It administers mandatory pension savings for citizens and resident employees under a defined contribution framework. The Standard Portfolio serves contributors up to age 63 and holds bank deposits, Kosovo Treasury bonds and global open-end mutual funds. The Conservative Portfolio, for those aged 63 and above, is limited to Kosovo Treasury bonds and cash. Both portfolios are managed internally with external custody support from Erste Bank. The trust reports to the Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo and undergoes external audit by the National Audit Office. Board appointments in 2023 refreshed governance with members including private equity specialist Cyril Demaria-Bengochea. The entity maintains membership ties to the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association and the European Federation for Retirement Provision through former trustees and professional networks.
