As NN PTE, we are going to stick to the strategic descent path and appropriate rules of rebalancing FZD portfolios
Target-Date Funds (FZD)
Funds gathered in PPK are invested in the so-called Target-Date Funds. Target-Date Funds (FZD) belong to the category of life cycle funds.
Nationale-Nederlanden DFE Nasze Jutro 2025 LOW RISK FUND A fund for people born in 1959-1967
Nationale-Nederlanden DFE Nasze Jutro 2030 LIFE CYCLE FUND A fund for people born in 1968-1972
Nationale-Nederlanden DFE Nasze Jutro 2035 LIFE CYCLE FUND A fund for people born in 1973-1977
Nationale-Nederlanden DFE Nasze Jutro 2040 LIFE CYCLE FUND A fund for people born in 1978-1982
Nationale-Nederlanden DFE Nasze Jutro 2045 LIFE CYCLE FUND A fund for people born in 1983-1987
Nationale-Nederlanden DFE Nasze Jutro 2050 LIFE CYCLE FUND A fund for people born in 1988-1992
Nationale-Nederlanden DFE Nasze Jutro 2055 LIFE CYCLE FUND A fund for people born in 1993-1997
Nationale-Nederlanden DFE Nasze Jutro 2060 LIFE CYCLE FUND A fund for people born in 1998-2002
The FZD's goal
The FDZ's goal is to gather additional funds as safeguard for old age. The target date is set for the period in which participants in a given FZD will enter retirement age. Under the PPK law, the age is about 60.
FDZ is:
Long-term mixed fund
The allocation of asset classes (shares/bonds) changes with the passage of time
The risk is adapted to the age of fund participants
The Low-Risk Fund is designed for people with
high risk aversion or for people saving up for
short-term goals
25
As NN PTE, we are going to stick to the strategic descent path and appropriate rules of rebalancing FZD portfolios
Target-Date Funds (FZD)
Strategic allocation, or the share of the equity part and the share of the debt part, is the most important factor that determines return on the portfolio in the long term and the volatility of its value (or risk) over the investment period.
Funds gathered in PPK are invested in the so-called Target-Date Funds. Target-Date Funds (FZD) belong to the category of life cycle funds.
The FZD's goal
The FDZ's goal is to gather additional funds as safeguard for old age. The target date is set for the period in which participants in a given FZD will enter retirement age. Under the PPK law, the age is about 60.
FDZ is: The key goal is to increase the value of the fund's assets Higher expected rates of return Higher risk
Long-term mixed fund
The allocation of asset classes (shares/bonds) changes with the passage of time
The risk is adapted to the age of fund participants
Strategic descent path
Strategic share of the debt part Strategic share of the equity part
Upper limit for share of the equity part according to PPK Lower limit for share of the equity part according to PPK
The safety of PPK investments
The PPK law imposes a high level of security and liquidity for target-date fund deposits:
At least 70% of net assets in the debt part of the portfolio should be made up of the safest Treasury bonds (e.g. securities issued by the State Treasury, the National Bank of Poland or possibly the government or central bank of an EU member state) as well as bank deposits.
At least 40% of net assets in the equity part of the portfolio should be made up of shares listed in the WIG20 index, or more precisely equity instruments issued by companies included in the WIG20 index.
At least 20% of net assets in the equity part of the portfolio should be made up of foreign shares listed in OECD countries.
The shares included in the mWIG40 index may not constitute more than 20% of net assets in the equity part.
The remaining Polish shares may not constitute more than 10% of net assets in the equity part.

Myths about PPK Fact Myth
• The act on PPK guarantees that participants’ funds are private and subject to
an unconditional succession • Participants’ funds are not safe in PPK
• PPK is cheaper for an employer than PPE which exempts them from the
obligation to establish PPK • PPK is more expensive for an employer than PPE
• Institutions are free to choose how they will support a company in PPK
implementation (e.g. helpdesk, materials to communicate with employees) • Institutions will ensure the same level of assistance in PPK
implementation and servicing
• PPK accession and administration processes will be automated and simplified
to varying degrees • Each institution will offer a company the same processes
• Funds accumulated in PPK cannot be used
until one’s retirement
• Funds accumulated in PPK can be withdrawn with no deductions in specific
situations or at any time (after the tax has been deducted)
