Rating
Now we can talk about the main components that potential investors pay attention to. The thing is that there are quite a lot of evaluation criteria. The first thing all clients look at is the rating. In Russia, special databases have been created that help to see the success of a particular NPF.
NPF Promagrofond CJSC has a good rating. It is noted that this organization is among the top 5 leaders of non-state pension funds. Most often found in positions 1-3 in lists. Some sources indicate that this company is in the top 10 best non-state pension funds in the country.
In any case, the corporation under study occupies a leading position in the All-Russian rating. Most clients notice that this phenomenon inspires trust. And that’s why many are looking at the fund. It’s not for nothing that he is among the leaders! What other nuances need to be looked at before making a final decision?
Profitability from the fund
The use of non-state pension funds is relevant not only for preserving the pension part. Many citizens decide to use the services of funds because they guarantee an increase in their income.
To transfer your savings into “safe hands”, it is important to pay attention to the profitability indicator. Due to its high impact, Promagrofond attracts a large number of citizens.
According to the administration, citizens should receive returns in the range of 15-18%. As for reality, the result turns out to be much less: 5-7%.
Such a large difference is often explained by the constantly increasing level of inflation. Similar discrepancies can be found in every non-state pension fund, since this situation occurs throughout the country and does not depend on the fund.
Analyzing the profitability rating of other funds, regardless of the discrepancies in promises, we can conclude that in Promagrofond the percentage is still an order of magnitude higher than in other organizations.
Reviews
In order for potential clients to know the real situation in the NPF, they need to leave reviews and comments in our material. Thus, an ordinary citizen will be able to soberly assess the activities of the fund indicated in the title.
Watch the video presentation of the fund:
At the end, it is worth recalling once again that the NPF preserved the savings of future retirees until 2021. At the moment, this function is performed by another non-state pension fund. Therefore, insured persons should study this material in order to be aware of the latest changes that have occurred in the Promagrofond fund.
Features of your personal account
The main advantage of the personal account of NPF Promagrofond is the ability to monitor online all financial transactions that are carried out with his pension account. At the same time, the service interface is designed in such a way that older users can easily understand its operation and quickly find the information they need. Among all the features of a personal account, we can highlight:
- access to personal data and the ability to make changes to them;
- the ability to send applications to NPF Profagrofond;
- viewing financial transactions with a filter by time and type;
- downloading transaction history and saving it on your hard drive;
- displaying balance changes in graphical form;
- access to a directory containing answers to all frequently asked questions about pensions.
The status of personal savings can be seen in the personal account of the NPF Profagrofond. This feature replaced the long-standing practice of sending letters from the Pension Fund to clients. Also, each fund participant can personally contact the institution’s branch and request information about the current balance of the pension account. You must have identification documents with you (passport, SNILS).
Profitability
We are talking about the so-called profitability of the organization. Since pension funds offer not only to preserve, but also to increase the funded part of the pension, then the return from the company is no less interesting than its sustainability. How is the company described doing in this area?
Frankly speaking, the profitability of Promagrofond is not too high. It varies from time to time and averages 3.55-4.5%. This is how much your deductions will increase over the year. To be honest, this is not the highest figure. The fund also receives somewhat negative reviews for it. Especially if you take into account the corporation's promises of a profitability of approximately 9%. Nevertheless, it will be possible to get at least some return here. And this is better than nothing at all!
Surprises
The next nuance emphasized by clients is unexpected cooperation with the corporation. Some clients accidentally find out that their pension savings are stored in Promagrofond. However, no agreements were concluded personally. Is it worth refusing to cooperate with an organization because of such surprises?
Not at all. Lawyers say that NPF Promagrofond operates absolutely legally. This phenomenon is explained by the fact that the fund enters into contracts with different employers. And then all employees of a particular company automatically become investors. It is not the Promagrofond employees who should notify about this, but the direct employer. Therefore, there is no need to be surprised by unexpected cooperation. This is not a scam, everything is legal. Moreover, this feature is found in many NPFs.
