About PEPP

The Pan-European Personal Pension Product (PEPP) is a simple, long-term savings plan created to help you build additional retirement income. Unlike traditional unit-linked insurance products, the PEPP is a modern, transparent, and low-cost solution that gives you full control and flexibility over your future financial security. Contributions to the PEPP are tax-deductible in the Republic of Cyprus and the payment of the accumulated funds at retirement are tax-exempt.

As a Euro-denominated product registered with EIOPA, the PEPP provides stability, protection, and freedom of movement across Europe. It is also available to Turkish-Cypriot citizens of the Republic of Cyprus, allowing you to safeguard your retirement savings in a strong and stable currency rather than being exposed to the high volatility of the Turkish Lira.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can a Turkish Cypriot sign up for the PEPP?

Turkish Cypriots who are citizens of the Republic of Cyprus can sign up for the PEPP provided they have:

  1. A valid identification document
    • Republic of Cyprus Identity Card or Passport
  2. An active bank account with a European bank
    • This account can also serve as proof of address, allowing you to complete the verification process even if you reside in the northern part of Cyprus.

The PEPP is developed according to the European Regulation (EU) 2019/1238, with the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) as the main supervisory authority. At a national level, the PEPP is regulated by the national competent authorities of each Member State. The LifeGoals PEPP is under the supervision of the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC).

The tax treatment of the PEPP is subject to the rules and regulations of how pension contributions, investment returns, and withdrawals are taxed at each EU Member State. In Cyprus, savers’ contributions to the PEPP and the payment of the accumulated funds at retirement are tax-deductible.

The Basic PEPP is the default investment option offered to PEPP savers. It is designed to be a safe, low-risk investment option aimed at preserving the saver’s capital while providing the potential for modest investment returns over the long term. The LifeGoals Basic PEPP uses a “life-cycling” model, where the investment allocation is gradually adapted during the saver’s life, lowering the investment risk as retirement approaches.

The LifeGoals Basic PEPP is subject to a regulatory cost cap of 1% of the accumulated capital per annum, making it an affordable and accessible retirement savings option for all EU citizens. LifeGoals alternative PEPPs are also capped at 1%.

LifeGoals supports the growing demand for socially responsible investments, enabling the PEPP savers to align their retirement savings with their personal values and beliefs. The LifeGoals PEPP strategically invests in companies and assets that prioritise environmental protection, social responsibility, and good corporate governance practices.

The LifeGoals PEPP strives to provide transparency to its users by providing clear, easy-to-understand information about the product, its fees, risks, and potential returns, all through the LifeGoals online platform.

The Lifegoals Group PEPP can be offered as a cost-effective workplace pension scheme under which the employer can make contributions on behalf of the employee, as a benefit or incentive. Employees can also make additional contributions from their salaries.
