Tuleva Additional Investment Fund
Now you can invest with Tuleva beyond the Pillar II and III
- An investment strategy with a proven track record
Additional Investment Fund is a low-cost index fund that invests in global equities. For every euro invested, we buy shares in nearly 2,500 of the world’s largest publicly traded companies to capture the long-term growth of the global economy. Read more about where the fund invests.
We follow the same investment principles as our Pillar II and III equity funds, but this new fund is not part of the Estonian pension system and does not qualify for tax incentives. Therefore, it is wise to prioritize your tax-efficient pension pillars first and use the Tuleva Additional Investment Fund for additional long-term investing.
- Low fees
The annual fee for the Additional Investment Fund is 0.28%, with no hidden costs or additional fees often associated with investing elsewhere. Furthermore, Tuleva members earn a 0.05% annual membership bonus on their holdings in the fund.
As with our Pillar II and III funds, our goal is to lower the fees even further as the fund’s total assets grow.
- Saving with Tuleva is simple
Opening an account and starting to invest takes only a few minutes. In our Additional Investment Fund, you don’t have to choose between hundreds of options – there is only one good fund. You can start with as little as one euro.
