The spreading virus caused bond prices to drop and, what’s more important, even the world’s largest enterprises almost completely lost the opportunity to borrow any money.\n\nCentral banks intervened with measures that were essentially the same as those used during the crisis ten years ago, although they did so more vigorously and quickly this time: banks were offered support and, for the first time, loans were issued directly to enterprises. Nevertheless, at the end of the month the losses on the European and US corporate bond markets were still between 6% and 15%. On some markets, the rise of the last three years was wiped out all at once.\n\nAlthough the measures employed by central banks helped to stop the price drop, the problem remains. The extremely low interest rates of the last decade have allowed many lower rated enterprises to become so indebted that, according to the latest assessment of the International Monetary Fund, around 40% of all enterprises may find themselves in default during the next crisis. This crisis has arrived.\n\nAs our monthly overviews have emphasised in recent years, we are mainly investing in high-rated and short-term bonds. Doing so has allowed us to avoid enterprises that have borrowed substantial sums of money as well as long-term bonds, which were hit in March. For the fund, however, this did mean a loss of slightly more than 1% for the month.\n\nAs at the end of March, nearly 85% of the fund’s assets were comprised of deposits, European Union governments and state-owned enterprises, and other public sector enterprises with a very high rating.

At the end of March, the economies of the world’s biggest countries were partly transferred to a special regime and many economic sectors were more or less shut down. Those who could do so worked from home, but not every product and service can be created and delivered to customers by virtual means.\n\nIn just a couple of months, an enormous amount of value went ungenerated around the globe. This was the price we paid to hopefully avoid even greater social and material ruin. The virus has yet to be conquered, but our adversary has grown a little more familiar. And the more familiar it becomes, the less fear it creates.\n\nStock investors, in particular, have shown themselves to be a fearless bunch. By the end of May, the S&P 500 Index, which reflects the stock prices of major US companies, had risen from its lowest point in March by 39%, while the EURO STOXX 50 Index, which reflects the value of large European companies, saw a 32% increase.\n\nAlthough the pension funds of LHV were doing some aggressive buying on the stock markets in the second half of March, I could hardly have dreamt of such a rapid rise at the time. I do not think that such a reaction from the markets is adequate, even when taking into account the support packages issued by central banks and governments to keep the economy alive, which were unprecedented in their extent.\n\nAlthough the stock markets are said to be an indicator of the health of the economy, empirically, this has not been the case for at least the last 10 years. Rather, the drop in interest rates on the bond markets has indicated what kind of economic growth might be expected in the future.\n\nThe stock markets, on the other hand, have followed the logic that bad news is good news. This means that when the economy is in a tight spot, central banks and governments come up with ways of avoiding a drop in asset prices.\n\nDuring crises, such economic stabilisation may be justified. The problem, however, is that the economic model based on an ever-increasing leverage effect has become incredibly fragile and even the smallest rise in interest rates could lead to an economic crisis.\n\n**Investment or expense**\n\nI cannot agree with those who argue that taking out a loan is entirely self-evident and suppose that money borrowed today will basically never have to be repaid. I think it is dangerous to forget the wisdom of our parents: loans belong to others.\n\nTaking out a loan in order to consume more now implies restricting consumption in the future, which is irrational. If everyone were to act in this way, it would mean a swift increase in wages today and serious unemployment tomorrow, should future consumption decrease more or less by the same amount previously spent.\n\nMoney should only be borrowed for investment, and this too only when the return on the investment will be higher than the interest payable on the loan. Otherwise, it reduces our full income as well as our wealth. In theory, this is easy to understand. In practice, however, the problem seems to lie in the fact that investment is rather a vague concept.\n\nFlippant, careless and arrogant attitudes towards borrowing are further exacerbated by the fact that loans can be obtained with growing ease and lower interest rates. Can a cottage which stands empty for most of the year, requires heating during winter and work from time to time and on which land tax is payable be considered an investment?\n\nTravelling and studying broaden our horizons, and offering self-development opportunities to youngsters assists in moving life forward, but is investment truly the right term for such activities? Not every good deed will bring in more money than is outlaid on it. Yet to make it possible for us to take any good and morally right actions, we must also be economically prudent.\n\n**How are your balance sheet and cash flow looking?**\n\nIn light of the above, not every expense qualifies as an investment – only the allocation of funds preceded by a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis can be considered one. I suspect that companies conduct such analyses more thoroughly than individuals or governments.\n\nThis can already be seen in the fact that companies prepare an income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement at least once a year. Governments do prepare a state budget, but I have not heard of them making any effort to put together a substantial balance sheet.\n\nMany individuals do not analyse their expenses at all and spend as much money as they have in their wallet and bank account. The heavier the burden of debt, the more important it is to monitor your balance sheet and the movement of your money (i.e. your cash flows).\n\nIn today’s rapidly-changing world, is a professional higher education diploma in, say, business management which is acquired with a student loan of any value if there are no specialist jobs to be found? Is a hospital, half-empty due to a lack of doctors and financed by credit, an asset or a liability?\n\nA situation where the value of assets falls below the cost of liabilities is called bankruptcy. A situation where there is not enough income to service loans is called insolvency.\n\nWith growing indebtedness – even if interest rates are low at the moment – comes a higher risk of bankruptcy and insolvency because liabilities (loan amounts) are usually fixed, but asset prices can fluctuate enormously.\n\nWhen interest rates are at a historic low, it is also dangerous to ignore the fact that such a development is in no way an indication of accelerating economic growth or recovery.\n\nPresumably, it is also a sign of the times, exceptional as they are, that the most powerful country in the world is being led by a man who has declared, “I’m the king of debt. I love debt!” and whose CV lists the bankruptcy of four of his companies. In spring 2016, when then presidential candidate Donald Trump was asked about the future servicing and repayment of US government debt, he gave the following answer: “I would borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal.”\n"}]}],"strategyKey":"konservatiivne","isin":"EE3600019782","strategyType":"Conservative","managementStyle":"Active","riskLevel":2,"countryShareEe":9.66,"fundManager":"LHV"},"LSK00":{"heading":"LHV Pensionifond S","id":"s","code":"s","dataMarker":"SK00","suitability":"**Suitable if**\n- you have 2–5 years left until retirement age,\n- you have low risk tolerance,\n- your aim is the preservation and modest growth of your pension savings.\n","strategy":"**Strategy**\n\nThe Fund's assets are mainly invested in bonds.

The Euro Stoxx 50 index, which brings together the largest stock companies in the euro area, added 4.7% during the month.\n\nFinnish (6.9%) and German (6.7%) stock exchanges showed the best returns and LHV pension funds have also made large investments in the stock markets of both countries. The return of the Japanese Nikkei index was 8.3% in local currency and 5.9% in euros. The upward trend also continued on Baltic stock exchanges, of which Tallinn Stock Exchange showed the best return at 5.7% growth. Vilnius stock exchange ended up showing a 3.8% return, followed by Riga stock exchange with 2.4%.\n\nIn May, Tallink Group, which belongs to the M pension fund portfolio, published its financial results for Q1 2020. The company’s turnover decreased by 13.4% y-o-y, while loss increased by 19.6%, amounting to more than 30 million euros. Even though the first months of the year were good for Tallink, the closing of the borders due to the pandemic cut the number of passengers by 59% in March and 96% in April. For the company to survive this difficult time, the state decided to grant Tallink a loan of 100 million euros with a term of three years and an interest of 12 months’ Euribor plus 2% per year. Tallink stock price was up by 20.6% on the stock exchange in May.\n\nBond markets also continued to recover. Prices in May generally followed the principle that the more high-risk the borrower, the more the price of their bonds increased. Markets are clearly dominated by the view that central banks will cover all risks for investors. Whether this turns out to be true will be revealed in the following quarters along with the impact of the recession on individual companies and states.\n\nWe also made new bond investments when Lithuanian national energy company Ignitis and the Romanian government borrowed money for 10 years with an interest rate of slightly over 2% and 3.5% respectively.\n\nSome borrowers who are raising new money must currently pay a premium that is larger than usual in order to attract investors and thus Ignitis’ and Romanian bonds generated additional return for the fund in an amount almost equal to annual interest already by the end of the month.\n"},{"year":2020,"month":4,"content":"### April 2020 – Risk appetite of investors restored in April\n\nKristo Oidermaa and Romet Enok, Fund Managers\n\nAfter a decline in February and March, the global stock markets began to recover rapidly in April, and the index MSCI World rose by 11.1% during the month. The good mood on the markets is mostly the result of record support measures promised by state governments. In Europe, the stock exchanges in Finland and Germany rose the most, with rates of return being 10.1% and 9.3%, respectively, in April. The value of Japanese Nikkei index rose by 6.7%, measured in local currency, and 7.9% in euros.\n\nAlso, the Baltic stock markets have recovered well: the Vilnius stock index rose by 15% and the Tallinn and Riga stock exchanges offered a return of slightly above 11%. However; year-to-date, the Baltic stock markets still remain in the red, as is the case with all global markets.\n\nIn April, Q1 results were published by Lithuanian tour operator Novaturas, whose activity has, in essence, stopped, as no trips are taking place. Despite the strong start to the year, the company’s turnover dropped by 18.9% in Q1 compared to 2019, and net loss worsened. As the travel ban resulting from the emergency situation will likely continue to exist for some time, we can continue to expect very weak performance from the company in the coming quarters.\n\nBond markets have recovered to varying degrees from their sharp decline in March. While in the United States, the bond prices of companies with stronger as well as weaker solvency have increased sharply as a result of the extremely aggressive measures taken by the Federal Reserve, in Europe price movements have been considerably more modest.\n\nThere have been several price fluctuations among listed bonds, but considering the severity of the current situation in the real economy, the decline has still prevented the creation of attractive investment opportunities. We will be ready to respond promptly as soon as these open up, as we keep a considerable volume of highly-rated liquid bonds.\n\nFrom our local bond investments, the activity of Transpordi Varahaldus (leases planes to Nordica) and the Peetri Centre are the most hindered. At the same time, state support for TVH and permission to keep open the grocery stores at Peetri Centre is of help.\n"},{"year":2020,"month":3,"content":"### March 2020 – We moved from Berkshire Hathaway bonds to its shares\n\nKristo Oidermaa and Romet Enok, Fund Managers\n\nIn March, the global stock market decline continued due to the spread of the corona virus and the fear of an economic crisis and, as a result, the first quarter of 2020 was one of the weakest ever for global stock exchanges. The Euro Stoxx 50 Index, which includes the large enterprises of the Eurozone, lost 16.2% of its value in March and fell by a total of 25.3% throughout the first quarter.\n\nAt the same time, the stock exchange indices of the largest European countries fell by more than 10% in March, and by more than 20% in Southern Europe. The value of the Japanese stock market index declined in March by 10%, measured in euros, and in the first quarter by a total of 17.4%. Stock markets in the Baltic Republics also continued to decline, with the Tallinn Stock Exchange dropping by a total of 20% in March. The Vilnius stock index dropped by 12.1% and the rate of return for the Riga Stock Exchange was –10.8%.\n\nAt the beginning of the month, the Lithuanian real estate fund Lords LB Baltic Green Fund, part of the pension fund M portfolio, made its first investment by acquiring an office building complex in the city centre of Vilnius. The complex includes more than 17,000 square metres of rental premises and the fund also sees the potential to build new buildings there and thus increase the rental income.\n\nAs a notable change, we sold the short-term Berkshire Hathaway bonds when the stock markets declined and instead acquired a position in the same company’s shares.\n\nMore things have happened in large bond markets in March than sometimes do over a period of five years. The spreading virus caused bond prices to drop and, what’s more important, even the world’s largest enterprises almost completely lost the opportunity to borrow any money.\n\nCentral banks intervened with measures that were essentially the same as those used during the crisis ten years ago, although they did so more vigorously and quickly this time: banks were offered support and, for the first time, loans were issued directly to enterprises. Nevertheless, at the end of the month the losses on the European and US corporate bond markets were still between 6% and 15%. On some markets, the rise of the last three years was wiped out all at once.\n\nAlthough the measures employed by central banks helped to stop the price drop, the problem remains. The extremely low interest rates of the last decade have allowed many lower rated enterprises to become so indebted that, according to the latest assessment of the International Monetary Fund, around 40% of all enterprises may find themselves in default during the next crisis. This crisis has arrived.\n\nAs our monthly overviews have emphasised in recent years, we are mainly investing in high-rated and short-term bonds. Doing so has allowed us to avoid enterprises that have borrowed substantial sums of money as well as long-term bonds, which were hit in March.\n\nBy the end of March, the majority of the fund’s bonds portfolio (almost one-half) were the bonds of European Union governments and public sector companies, and larger financial institutions from the United States of America. Bond markets are facing a tough time and we are ready to take and advantage of the emerging opportunities.\n"}]},{"id":"market","title":"Market overview","content":[{"type":"singlearticle","column":"center","picture":"/pension/viisemann-turuylevaade.png","title":"**Cheap credit leads into temptation**\n*Andres Viisemann, Head of LHV Pension Funds*\n","preview":"There is no doubt that we are living in extraordinary times.

At the end of March, the economies of the world’s biggest countries were partly transferred to a special regime and many economic sectors were more or less shut down. Those who could do so worked from home, but not every product and service can be created and delivered to customers by virtual means.\n\nIn just a couple of months, an enormous amount of value went ungenerated around the globe. This was the price we paid to hopefully avoid even greater social and material ruin. The virus has yet to be conquered, but our adversary has grown a little more familiar. And the more familiar it becomes, the less fear it creates.\n\nStock investors, in particular, have shown themselves to be a fearless bunch. By the end of May, the S&P 500 Index, which reflects the stock prices of major US companies, had risen from its lowest point in March by 39%, while the EURO STOXX 50 Index, which reflects the value of large European companies, saw a 32% increase.\n\nAlthough the pension funds of LHV were doing some aggressive buying on the stock markets in the second half of March, I could hardly have dreamt of such a rapid rise at the time. I do not think that such a reaction from the markets is adequate, even when taking into account the support packages issued by central banks and governments to keep the economy alive, which were unprecedented in their extent.\n\nAlthough the stock markets are said to be an indicator of the health of the economy, empirically, this has not been the case for at least the last 10 years. Rather, the drop in interest rates on the bond markets has indicated what kind of economic growth might be expected in the future.\n\nThe stock markets, on the other hand, have followed the logic that bad news is good news. This means that when the economy is in a tight spot, central banks and governments come up with ways of avoiding a drop in asset prices.\n\nDuring crises, such economic stabilisation may be justified. The problem, however, is that the economic model based on an ever-increasing leverage effect has become incredibly fragile and even the smallest rise in interest rates could lead to an economic crisis.\n\n**Investment or expense**\n\nI cannot agree with those who argue that taking out a loan is entirely self-evident and suppose that money borrowed today will basically never have to be repaid. I think it is dangerous to forget the wisdom of our parents: loans belong to others.\n\nTaking out a loan in order to consume more now implies restricting consumption in the future, which is irrational. If everyone were to act in this way, it would mean a swift increase in wages today and serious unemployment tomorrow, should future consumption decrease more or less by the same amount previously spent.\n\nMoney should only be borrowed for investment, and this too only when the return on the investment will be higher than the interest payable on the loan. Otherwise, it reduces our full income as well as our wealth. In theory, this is easy to understand. In practice, however, the problem seems to lie in the fact that investment is rather a vague concept.\n\nFlippant, careless and arrogant attitudes towards borrowing are further exacerbated by the fact that loans can be obtained with growing ease and lower interest rates. Can a cottage which stands empty for most of the year, requires heating during winter and work from time to time and on which land tax is payable be considered an investment?\n\nTravelling and studying broaden our horizons, and offering self-development opportunities to youngsters assists in moving life forward, but is investment truly the right term for such activities? Not every good deed will bring in more money than is outlaid on it. Yet to make it possible for us to take any good and morally right actions, we must also be economically prudent.\n\n**How are your balance sheet and cash flow looking?**\n\nIn light of the above, not every expense qualifies as an investment – only the allocation of funds preceded by a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis can be considered one. I suspect that companies conduct such analyses more thoroughly than individuals or governments.\n\nThis can already be seen in the fact that companies prepare an income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement at least once a year. Governments do prepare a state budget, but I have not heard of them making any effort to put together a substantial balance sheet.\n\nMany individuals do not analyse their expenses at all and spend as much money as they have in their wallet and bank account. The heavier the burden of debt, the more important it is to monitor your balance sheet and the movement of your money (i.e. your cash flows).\n\nIn today’s rapidly-changing world, is a professional higher education diploma in, say, business management which is acquired with a student loan of any value if there are no specialist jobs to be found? Is a hospital, half-empty due to a lack of doctors and financed by credit, an asset or a liability?\n\nA situation where the value of assets falls below the cost of liabilities is called bankruptcy. A situation where there is not enough income to service loans is called insolvency.\n\nWith growing indebtedness – even if interest rates are low at the moment – comes a higher risk of bankruptcy and insolvency because liabilities (loan amounts) are usually fixed, but asset prices can fluctuate enormously.\n\nWhen interest rates are at a historic low, it is also dangerous to ignore the fact that such a development is in no way an indication of accelerating economic growth or recovery.\n\nPresumably, it is also a sign of the times, exceptional as they are, that the most powerful country in the world is being led by a man who has declared, “I’m the king of debt. I love debt!” and whose CV lists the bankruptcy of four of his companies. In spring 2016, when then presidential candidate Donald Trump was asked about the future servicing and repayment of US government debt, he gave the following answer: “I would borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal.”\n"}]}],"strategyKey":"tasakaalustatud","isin":"EE3600019774","strategyType":"Balanced","managementStyle":"Active","riskLevel":2,"countryShareEe":31.71,"fundManager":"LHV"},"LLK50":{"heading":"LHV Pensionifond L","id":"l","code":"l","dataMarker":"LK50","suitability":"**Suitable if**\n- you have more than 10 years left until retirement,\n- you have average risk tolerance,\n- your aim is the long-term growth of your pension savings.\n","strategy":"**Strategy**\n\nThe assets of the Fund are invested in various asset classes in both local and foreign markets.

For instance, the return of the Novalpina Capital Fund (the portfolio also includes Olympic casinos) for Q1 turned out to be –16.1%.

Nibe Industrier produces air heat pumps and energy-efficient air conditioners, while the Danish company GN Store Nord mainly produces hearing aids.\n\nMore things have happened in large bond markets in March than sometimes do over a period of five years. The spreading virus caused bond prices to drop and, what’s more important, even the world’s largest enterprises almost completely lost the opportunity to borrow any money.\n\nCentral banks intervened with measures that were essentially the same as those used during the crisis ten years ago, although they did so more vigorously and quickly this time: banks were offered support and, for the first time, loans were issued directly to enterprises. Nevertheless, at the end of the month the losses on the European and US corporate bond markets were still between 6% and 15%. On some markets, the rise of the last three years was wiped out all at once.\n\nAlthough the measures employed by central banks helped to stop the price drop, the problem remains. The extremely low interest rates of the last decade have allowed many lower rated enterprises to become so indebted that, according to the latest assessment of the International Monetary Fund, around 40% of all enterprises may find themselves in default during the next crisis. This crisis has arrived.\n\nAs our monthly overviews have emphasised in recent years, we are mainly investing in high-rated and short-term bonds. Doing so has allowed us to avoid enterprises that have borrowed substantial sums of money as well as long-term bonds, which were hit in March.\n\nWithin a month we sold more than a quarter of the fund’s bond investments and prepared our money for new investments. By the end of March, the majority of the fund’s bonds portfolio (almost one-half) were the bonds of European Union governments and public sector companies.\n"}]},{"id":"market","title":"Market overview","content":[{"type":"singlearticle","column":"center","picture":"/pension/viisemann-turuylevaade.png","title":"**Cheap credit leads into temptation**\n*Andres Viisemann, Head of LHV Pension Funds*\n","preview":"There is no doubt that we are living in extraordinary times.

At the end of March, the economies of the world’s biggest countries were partly transferred to a special regime and many economic sectors were more or less shut down. Those who could do so worked from home, but not every product and service can be created and delivered to customers by virtual means.\n\nIn just a couple of months, an enormous amount of value went ungenerated around the globe. This was the price we paid to hopefully avoid even greater social and material ruin. The virus has yet to be conquered, but our adversary has grown a little more familiar. And the more familiar it becomes, the less fear it creates.\n\nStock investors, in particular, have shown themselves to be a fearless bunch. By the end of May, the S&P 500 Index, which reflects the stock prices of major US companies, had risen from its lowest point in March by 39%, while the EURO STOXX 50 Index, which reflects the value of large European companies, saw a 32% increase.\n\nAlthough the pension funds of LHV were doing some aggressive buying on the stock markets in the second half of March, I could hardly have dreamt of such a rapid rise at the time. I do not think that such a reaction from the markets is adequate, even when taking into account the support packages issued by central banks and governments to keep the economy alive, which were unprecedented in their extent.\n\nAlthough the stock markets are said to be an indicator of the health of the economy, empirically, this has not been the case for at least the last 10 years. Rather, the drop in interest rates on the bond markets has indicated what kind of economic growth might be expected in the future.\n\nThe stock markets, on the other hand, have followed the logic that bad news is good news. This means that when the economy is in a tight spot, central banks and governments come up with ways of avoiding a drop in asset prices.\n\nDuring crises, such economic stabilisation may be justified. The problem, however, is that the economic model based on an ever-increasing leverage effect has become incredibly fragile and even the smallest rise in interest rates could lead to an economic crisis.\n\n**Investment or expense**\n\nI cannot agree with those who argue that taking out a loan is entirely self-evident and suppose that money borrowed today will basically never have to be repaid. I think it is dangerous to forget the wisdom of our parents: loans belong to others.\n\nTaking out a loan in order to consume more now implies restricting consumption in the future, which is irrational. If everyone were to act in this way, it would mean a swift increase in wages today and serious unemployment tomorrow, should future consumption decrease more or less by the same amount previously spent.\n\nMoney should only be borrowed for investment, and this too only when the return on the investment will be higher than the interest payable on the loan. Otherwise, it reduces our full income as well as our wealth. In theory, this is easy to understand. In practice, however, the problem seems to lie in the fact that investment is rather a vague concept.\n\nFlippant, careless and arrogant attitudes towards borrowing are further exacerbated by the fact that loans can be obtained with growing ease and lower interest rates. Can a cottage which stands empty for most of the year, requires heating during winter and work from time to time and on which land tax is payable be considered an investment?\n\nTravelling and studying broaden our horizons, and offering self-development opportunities to youngsters assists in moving life forward, but is investment truly the right term for such activities? Not every good deed will bring in more money than is outlaid on it. Yet to make it possible for us to take any good and morally right actions, we must also be economically prudent.\n\n**How are your balance sheet and cash flow looking?**\n\nIn light of the above, not every expense qualifies as an investment – only the allocation of funds preceded by a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis can be considered one. I suspect that companies conduct such analyses more thoroughly than individuals or governments.\n\nThis can already be seen in the fact that companies prepare an income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement at least once a year. Governments do prepare a state budget, but I have not heard of them making any effort to put together a substantial balance sheet.\n\nMany individuals do not analyse their expenses at all and spend as much money as they have in their wallet and bank account. The heavier the burden of debt, the more important it is to monitor your balance sheet and the movement of your money (i.e. your cash flows).\n\nIn today’s rapidly-changing world, is a professional higher education diploma in, say, business management which is acquired with a student loan of any value if there are no specialist jobs to be found? Is a hospital, half-empty due to a lack of doctors and financed by credit, an asset or a liability?\n\nA situation where the value of assets falls below the cost of liabilities is called bankruptcy. A situation where there is not enough income to service loans is called insolvency.\n\nWith growing indebtedness – even if interest rates are low at the moment – comes a higher risk of bankruptcy and insolvency because liabilities (loan amounts) are usually fixed, but asset prices can fluctuate enormously.\n\nWhen interest rates are at a historic low, it is also dangerous to ignore the fact that such a development is in no way an indication of accelerating economic growth or recovery.\n\nPresumably, it is also a sign of the times, exceptional as they are, that the most powerful country in the world is being led by a man who has declared, “I’m the king of debt. I love debt!” and whose CV lists the bankruptcy of four of his companies. In spring 2016, when then presidential candidate Donald Trump was asked about the future servicing and repayment of US government debt, he gave the following answer: “I would borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal.”\n"}]}],"strategyKey":"progressiivne","isin":"EE3600019832","strategyType":"Progressive","managementStyle":"Active","riskLevel":3,"countryShareEe":32.04,"fundManager":"LHV"},"LXK75":{"heading":"LHV Pensionifond XL","id":"xl","code":"xl","dataMarker":"XLK50","suitability":"**Suitable if**\n- you have more than 15 years left until retirement,\n- you are prepared to take above-average risks,\n- your aim is the long-term growth of your pension savings.\n","strategy":"**Strategy**\n\nThe Fund prefers foreign markets, more liquid and traded instruments on regulated markets when investing assets.

The Euro Stoxx 50 index, which brings together the largest stock companies in the euro area, added 4.7% during the month.\n\nFinnish (6.9%) and German (6.7%) stock exchanges showed the best returns and LHV pension funds have also made large investments in the stock markets of both countries. The return of the Japanese Nikkei index was 8.3% in local currency and 5.9% in euros. The performance of MSCI Emerging Markets index turned out to be somewhat weaker, as the index gained only 0.6% in local currency. The upward trend also continued on Baltic stock exchanges, of which Tallinn Stock Exchange showed the best return at 5.7% growth. Vilnius stock exchange ended up showing a 3.8% return, followed by Riga stock exchange with 2.4%.\n\nIn May, the return of XL pension fund once again benefited from new stock exchange investments made in spring. Latin American e-commerce company MercadoLibre also achieved a very good return as its share price rose by 42.5% during the month. The shares of Swedish infrastructure company Sweco, which rose by 19.5%, and Danish hearing aid manufacturer GN Store Nord, which added 16.3% in showed a good performance as well. The share price of German industrial giant Siemens increased by 16.4% in May.\n\nBond markets also continued to recover. Prices in May generally followed the principle that the more high-risk the borrower, the more the price of their bonds increased. Markets are clearly dominated by the view that central banks will cover all risks for investors. Whether this turns out to be true will be revealed in the following quarters along with the impact of the recession on individual companies and states.\n\nWe also made a new large investment when Lithuanian national energy company Ignitis borrowed money for 10 years with an interest rate of slightly over 2%. Some borrowers who are raising new money must currently pay a premium that is larger than usual in order to attract investors and thus Ignitis’ bonds generated additional return for the fund in an amount almost equal to annual interest already by the end of the month.\n"},{"year":2020,"month":4,"content":"### April 2020 – Rate of return for the fund was supported by increasing the equity risk\n\nKristo Oidermaa and Romet Enok, Fund Managers\n\nAfter a decline in February and March, the global stock markets began to recover rapidly in April, and the index MSCI World rose by 11.1% during the month. The good mood on the markets is mostly the result of record support measures promised by state governments. In Europe, the stock exchanges in Finland and Germany rose the most, with rates of return being 10.1% and 9.3%, respectively, in April. The value of Japanese Nikkei index rose by 6.7%, measured in local currency, and 7.9% in euros.\n\nThe global index of developing markets achieved a 9.3% outcome, whereas Asian stock exchanges were among the strongest. For example, the Chinese stock exchange index rose by 6.7% in a month.\n\nAlso, the Baltic stock markets have recovered well: the Vilnius stock index rose by 15% and the Tallinn and Riga stock exchanges offered a return of slightly above 11%. However; year-to-date, the Baltic stock markets still remain in the red, as is the case with all global markets.\n\nA sound rate of return for pension fund XL was generated in April by the shares of companies mining mineral resources. For example, the shares of Agnico Eagle Mines and Barrick Gold appreciated 48.6% and 41.4%, respectively, over the month. The companies Freeport-McMoRan and KAZ Minerals, focussing on copper mining, provided a rate of return of 31.8% and 22.4%.\n\nAlso, the outcome of the pension fund was supported by e-trade companies MercadoLibre, from Latin America, and Rakuten, from Japan, the shares of which appreciated by 20.3% and 14.6%, respectively.\n\nWe took advantage of the increase in bond prices, by selling the subordinated bonds with extra-long maturity of Danske bank and Sampo bank. Despite the difficult times on financial markets, both investments guaranteed a nearly 10% rate of return during the 12–18-month suspension period.\n\nThe volume of the bond portfolio in the fund XL has dropped to the lowest level in recent years, as we have allocated more of the money in the fund to stock markets.\n"},{"year":2020,"month":3,"content":"### March 2020 – We sold bonds to seize the opportunities on stock markets\n\nKristo Oidermaa and Romet Enok, Fund Managers\n\nIn March, the global stock market decline continued due to the spread of the corona virus and the fear of an economic crisis and, as a result, the first quarter of 2020 was one of the weakest ever for global stock exchanges. The Euro Stoxx 50 Index, which includes the large enterprises of the Eurozone, lost 16.2% of its value in March and fell by a total of 25.3% throughout the first quarter.\n\nAt the same time, the stock exchange indices of the largest European countries fell by more than 10% in March, and by more than 20% in Southern Europe. The value of the Japanese stock market index declined in March by 10%, measured in euros, and in the first quarter by a total of 17.4%.\n\nThe stock index of developing markets was also hit hard, in which the greatest losses were carried by Latin American countries. The Chinese stock exchange endured rather well and declined only by 7.1% (in euros) in March. Stock markets in the Baltic Republics also continued to decline, with the Tallinn Stock Exchange dropping by a total of 20% in March. The Vilnius stock index dropped by 12.1% and the rate of return for the Riga Stock Exchange was –10.8%.\n\nWe took advantage of the declining markets to make new investments in the Nordic stock exchanges. For instance, we acquired shares of Valmet, KONE, and UPM-Kymmene on the Finnish Stock Exchange. Valmet is an industrial enterprise that produces solutions for cellulose and paper manufacturers as well as energy sector enterprises. The main business area of KONE is the production and maintenance of lifts and escalators. The company earn 40% of its revenue from China, 40% from Europe, and 20% from the United States. UPM-Kymmene has focused on the production of renewable materials and finding responsible solutions for the forest industry.\n\nMore things have happened in large bond markets in March than sometimes do over a period of five years.

The company’s shares fell by more than 30% in March and, as a result Tallink, decided not to pay any dividends for 2019.\n\nDeclaring the emergency situation has also had a notable impact on the Port of Tallinn as well, with shares falling by almost 20% during the month. Tallink is the undertaking’s largest client, and many cruise ships have also already announced that they will not be visiting Tallinn this year.

At the end of March, the economies of the world’s biggest countries were partly transferred to a special regime and many economic sectors were more or less shut down. Those who could do so worked from home, but not every product and service can be created and delivered to customers by virtual means.\n\nIn just a couple of months, an enormous amount of value went ungenerated around the globe. This was the price we paid to hopefully avoid even greater social and material ruin. The virus has yet to be conquered, but our adversary has grown a little more familiar. And the more familiar it becomes, the less fear it creates.\n\nStock investors, in particular, have shown themselves to be a fearless bunch. By the end of May, the S&P 500 Index, which reflects the stock prices of major US companies, had risen from its lowest point in March by 39%, while the EURO STOXX 50 Index, which reflects the value of large European companies, saw a 32% increase.\n\nAlthough the pension funds of LHV were doing some aggressive buying on the stock markets in the second half of March, I could hardly have dreamt of such a rapid rise at the time. I do not think that such a reaction from the markets is adequate, even when taking into account the support packages issued by central banks and governments to keep the economy alive, which were unprecedented in their extent.\n\nAlthough the stock markets are said to be an indicator of the health of the economy, empirically, this has not been the case for at least the last 10 years. Rather, the drop in interest rates on the bond markets has indicated what kind of economic growth might be expected in the future.\n\nThe stock markets, on the other hand, have followed the logic that bad news is good news. This means that when the economy is in a tight spot, central banks and governments come up with ways of avoiding a drop in asset prices.\n\nDuring crises, such economic stabilisation may be justified. The problem, however, is that the economic model based on an ever-increasing leverage effect has become incredibly fragile and even the smallest rise in interest rates could lead to an economic crisis.\n\n**Investment or expense**\n\nI cannot agree with those who argue that taking out a loan is entirely self-evident and suppose that money borrowed today will basically never have to be repaid. I think it is dangerous to forget the wisdom of our parents: loans belong to others.\n\nTaking out a loan in order to consume more now implies restricting consumption in the future, which is irrational. If everyone were to act in this way, it would mean a swift increase in wages today and serious unemployment tomorrow, should future consumption decrease more or less by the same amount previously spent.\n\nMoney should only be borrowed for investment, and this too only when the return on the investment will be higher than the interest payable on the loan. Otherwise, it reduces our full income as well as our wealth. In theory, this is easy to understand. In practice, however, the problem seems to lie in the fact that investment is rather a vague concept.\n\nFlippant, careless and arrogant attitudes towards borrowing are further exacerbated by the fact that loans can be obtained with growing ease and lower interest rates. Can a cottage which stands empty for most of the year, requires heating during winter and work from time to time and on which land tax is payable be considered an investment?\n\nTravelling and studying broaden our horizons, and offering self-development opportunities to youngsters assists in moving life forward, but is investment truly the right term for such activities? Not every good deed will bring in more money than is outlaid on it. Yet to make it possible for us to take any good and morally right actions, we must also be economically prudent.\n\n**How are your balance sheet and cash flow looking?**\n\nIn light of the above, not every expense qualifies as an investment – only the allocation of funds preceded by a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis can be considered one. I suspect that companies conduct such analyses more thoroughly than individuals or governments.\n\nThis can already be seen in the fact that companies prepare an income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement at least once a year. Governments do prepare a state budget, but I have not heard of them making any effort to put together a substantial balance sheet.\n\nMany individuals do not analyse their expenses at all and spend as much money as they have in their wallet and bank account. The heavier the burden of debt, the more important it is to monitor your balance sheet and the movement of your money (i.e. your cash flows).\n\nIn today’s rapidly-changing world, is a professional higher education diploma in, say, business management which is acquired with a student loan of any value if there are no specialist jobs to be found? Is a hospital, half-empty due to a lack of doctors and financed by credit, an asset or a liability?\n\nA situation where the value of assets falls below the cost of liabilities is called bankruptcy. A situation where there is not enough income to service loans is called insolvency.\n\nWith growing indebtedness – even if interest rates are low at the moment – comes a higher risk of bankruptcy and insolvency because liabilities (loan amounts) are usually fixed, but asset prices can fluctuate enormously.\n\nWhen interest rates are at a historic low, it is also dangerous to ignore the fact that such a development is in no way an indication of accelerating economic growth or recovery.\n\nPresumably, it is also a sign of the times, exceptional as they are, that the most powerful country in the world is being led by a man who has declared, “I’m the king of debt. I love debt!” and whose CV lists the bankruptcy of four of his companies. In spring 2016, when then presidential candidate Donald Trump was asked about the future servicing and repayment of US government debt, he gave the following answer: “I would borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal.”\n"}]}],"strategyKey":"agressiivne","isin":"EE3600109476","strategyType":"Aggressive","managementStyle":"Active","riskLevel":3,"countryShareEe":71.16,"fundManager":"LHV"},"SIK75":{"heading":"SEB Pensionifond Indeks 100","id":"eindeks","code":"sik","dataMarker":"SIK75","suitability":"**Suitable if**\n- you have more than five years until retirement,\n- you prefer a medium risk fund,\n- your goal is to mirror securities markets.\n","strategy":"**Strategy**\n\nInvests up to 100% of its assets in equities, by implementing a passive investment strategy and mirroring securities markets.

The Euro Stoxx 50 index, which brings together the largest stock companies in the euro area, added 4.7% during the month.\n\nFinnish (6.9%) and German (6.7%) stock exchanges showed the best returns and LHV pension funds have also made large investments in the stock markets of both countries. The return of the Japanese Nikkei index was 8.3% in local currency and 5.9% in euros. The performance of MSCI Emerging Markets index turned out to be somewhat weaker, as the index gained only 0.6% in local currency. The upward trend also continued on Baltic stock exchanges, of which Tallinn Stock Exchange showed the best return at 5.7% growth. Vilnius stock exchange ended up showing a 3.8% return, followed by Riga stock exchange with 2.4%.\n\nIn May, the return of Täiendav pension fund once again benefitted from new stock exchange investments made in spring. Latin American e-commerce company MercadoLibre also achieved a very good return as its share price rose by 42.5% during the month. The shares of Swedish infrastructure company Sweco, which rose by 19.5%, and Danish hearing aid manufacturer GN Store Nord, which added 16.3% in showed a good performance as well. The share price of German industrial giant Siemens increased by 16.4% in May.\n\nBond markets also continued to recover. Prices in May generally followed the principle that the more high-risk the borrower, the more the price of their bonds increased. Markets are clearly dominated by the view that central banks will cover all risks for investors. Whether this turns out to be true will be revealed in the following quarters along with the impact of the recession on individual companies and states.\n\nWe also made a new large investment when Lithuanian national energy company Ignitis borrowed money for 10 years with an interest rate of slightly over 2%. Some borrowers who are raising new money must currently pay a premium that is larger than usual in order to attract investors and thus Ignitis’ bonds generated additional return for the fund in an amount almost equal to annual interest already by the end of the month.\n"},{"year":2020,"month":4,"content":"### April 2020 – Stock markets turned up again in April\n\nKristo Oidermaa and Romet Enok, Fund Managers\n\nAfter a decline in February and March, the global stock markets began to recover rapidly in April, and the index MSCI World rose by 11.1% during the month. The good mood on the markets is mostly the result of record support measures promised by state governments. In Europe, the stock exchanges in Finland and Germany rose the most, with rates of return being 10.1% and 9.3%, respectively, in April. The value of Japanese Nikkei index rose by 6.7%, measured in local currency, and 7.9% in euros.\n\nThe global index of developing markets achieved a 9.3% outcome, whereas Asian stock exchanges were among the strongest. For example, the Chinese stock exchange index rose by 6.7% in a month.\n\nAlso, the Baltic stock markets have recovered well: the Vilnius stock index rose by 15% and the Tallinn and Riga stock exchanges offered a return of slightly above 11%. However; year-to-date, the Baltic stock markets still remain in the red, as is the case with all global markets.\n\nThe shares of companies mining mineral resources were quite beneficial to the rate of return of pension fund Täiendav in April. For example, the shares of Agnico Eagle Mines and Barrick Gold rose by 48.6% and 41.4%, respectively, over the month. The companies Freeport-McMoRan and KAZ Minerals, focussing on copper mining, provided a rate of return of 31.8% and 22.4%.\n\nAlso, the outcome of the pension fund was supported by e-trade companies MercadoLibre, from Latin America, and Rakuten, from Japan, the shares of which appreciated by 20.3% and 14.6%, respectively.\n\nWe took advantage of the increase in bond prices, by selling the subordinated bonds with extra-long maturity of Danske bank and Sampo bank. Despite the difficult times on financial markets, both investments guaranteed a nearly 10% rate of return during the 12–18-month suspension period.\n"},{"year":2020,"month":3,"content":"### March 2020 – We took advantage of declining markets to make new investments\n\nKristo Oidermaa and Romet Enok, Fund Managers\n\nIn March, the global stock market decline continued due to the spread of the corona virus and the fear of an economic crisis and, as a result, the first quarter of 2020 was one of the weakest ever for global stock exchanges. The Euro Stoxx 50 Index, which includes the large enterprises of the Eurozone, lost 16.2% of its value in March and fell by a total of 25.3% throughout the first quarter.\n\nAt the same time, the stock exchange indices of the largest European countries fell by more than 10% in March, and by more than 20% in Southern Europe. The value of the Japanese stock market index declined in March by 10%, measured in euros, and in the first quarter by a total of 17.4%.\n\nThe stock index of developing markets was also hit hard, in which the greatest losses were carried by Latin American countries. The Chinese stock exchange endured rather well and declined only by 7.1% (in euros) in March. Stock markets in the Baltic Republics also continued to decline, with the Tallinn Stock Exchange dropping by a total of 20% in March. The Vilnius stock index dropped by 12.1% and the rate of return for the Riga Stock Exchange was –10.8%.\n\nThe rate of return of LHV’s Täiendav Pensionifond was negatively affected, among other things, by large European car manufacturers Volkswagen and Daimler, shares of which declined during the month by 28.1% and 26.7%, respectively. The sales of new cars has dramatically dropped all over the world and currently it is hard to estimate when it could recover.\n\nHowever, the Siemens Healthineers share showed a positive rate of return (+12.7%) because the company produces medical equipment. Moreover, we also took advantage of the declining markets to make new investments on Nordic, German, and Chinese stock exchanges as well as companies that mine mineral resources all over the world.\n\nMore things have happened in large bond markets in March than sometimes do over a period of five years. The spreading virus caused bond prices to drop and, what’s more important, even the world’s largest enterprises almost completely lost the opportunity to borrow any money.\n\nCentral banks intervened with measures that were essentially the same as those used during the crisis ten years ago, although they did so more vigorously and quickly this time: banks were offered support and, for the first time, loans were issued directly to enterprises. Nevertheless, at the end of the month the losses on the European and US corporate bond markets were still between 6% and 15%. On some markets, the rise of the last three years was wiped out all at once.\n\nAlthough the measures employed by central banks helped to stop the price drop, the problem remains. The extremely low interest rates of the last decade have allowed many lower rated enterprises to become so indebted that, according to the latest assessment of the International Monetary Fund, around 40% of all enterprises may find themselves in default during the next crisis. This crisis has arrived.\n\nAs our monthly overviews have emphasised in recent years, we are mainly investing in high-rated and short-term bonds. Doing so has allowed us to avoid enterprises that have borrowed substantial sums of money as well as long-term bonds, which were hit in March. Within a month, we sold more than a third of the fund’s bond investments and acquired equity positions.\n"}]},{"id":"market","title":"Market overview","content":[{"type":"singlearticle","column":"center","picture":"/pension/viisemann-turuylevaade.png","title":"**Cheap credit leads into temptation**\n*Andres Viisemann, Head of LHV Pension Funds*\n","preview":"There is no doubt that we are living in extraordinary times.

At the end of March, the economies of the world’s biggest countries were partly transferred to a special regime and many economic sectors were more or less shut down. Those who could do so worked from home, but not every product and service can be created and delivered to customers by virtual means.\n\nIn just a couple of months, an enormous amount of value went ungenerated around the globe. This was the price we paid to hopefully avoid even greater social and material ruin. The virus has yet to be conquered, but our adversary has grown a little more familiar. And the more familiar it becomes, the less fear it creates.\n\nStock investors, in particular, have shown themselves to be a fearless bunch. By the end of May, the S&P 500 Index, which reflects the stock prices of major US companies, had risen from its lowest point in March by 39%, while the EURO STOXX 50 Index, which reflects the value of large European companies, saw a 32% increase.\n\nAlthough the pension funds of LHV were doing some aggressive buying on the stock markets in the second half of March, I could hardly have dreamt of such a rapid rise at the time. I do not think that such a reaction from the markets is adequate, even when taking into account the support packages issued by central banks and governments to keep the economy alive, which were unprecedented in their extent.\n\nAlthough the stock markets are said to be an indicator of the health of the economy, empirically, this has not been the case for at least the last 10 years. Rather, the drop in interest rates on the bond markets has indicated what kind of economic growth might be expected in the future.\n\nThe stock markets, on the other hand, have followed the logic that bad news is good news. This means that when the economy is in a tight spot, central banks and governments come up with ways of avoiding a drop in asset prices.\n\nDuring crises, such economic stabilisation may be justified. The problem, however, is that the economic model based on an ever-increasing leverage effect has become incredibly fragile and even the smallest rise in interest rates could lead to an economic crisis.\n\n**Investment or expense**\n\nI cannot agree with those who argue that taking out a loan is entirely self-evident and suppose that money borrowed today will basically never have to be repaid. I think it is dangerous to forget the wisdom of our parents: loans belong to others.\n\nTaking out a loan in order to consume more now implies restricting consumption in the future, which is irrational. If everyone were to act in this way, it would mean a swift increase in wages today and serious unemployment tomorrow, should future consumption decrease more or less by the same amount previously spent.\n\nMoney should only be borrowed for investment, and this too only when the return on the investment will be higher than the interest payable on the loan. Otherwise, it reduces our full income as well as our wealth. In theory, this is easy to understand. In practice, however, the problem seems to lie in the fact that investment is rather a vague concept.\n\nFlippant, careless and arrogant attitudes towards borrowing are further exacerbated by the fact that loans can be obtained with growing ease and lower interest rates. Can a cottage which stands empty for most of the year, requires heating during winter and work from time to time and on which land tax is payable be considered an investment?\n\nTravelling and studying broaden our horizons, and offering self-development opportunities to youngsters assists in moving life forward, but is investment truly the right term for such activities? Not every good deed will bring in more money than is outlaid on it. Yet to make it possible for us to take any good and morally right actions, we must also be economically prudent.\n\n**How are your balance sheet and cash flow looking?**\n\nIn light of the above, not every expense qualifies as an investment – only the allocation of funds preceded by a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis can be considered one. I suspect that companies conduct such analyses more thoroughly than individuals or governments.\n\nThis can already be seen in the fact that companies prepare an income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement at least once a year. Governments do prepare a state budget, but I have not heard of them making any effort to put together a substantial balance sheet.\n\nMany individuals do not analyse their expenses at all and spend as much money as they have in their wallet and bank account. The heavier the burden of debt, the more important it is to monitor your balance sheet and the movement of your money (i.e. your cash flows).\n\nIn today’s rapidly-changing world, is a professional higher education diploma in, say, business management which is acquired with a student loan of any value if there are no specialist jobs to be found? Is a hospital, half-empty due to a lack of doctors and financed by credit, an asset or a liability?\n\nA situation where the value of assets falls below the cost of liabilities is called bankruptcy. A situation where there is not enough income to service loans is called insolvency.\n\nWith growing indebtedness – even if interest rates are low at the moment – comes a higher risk of bankruptcy and insolvency because liabilities (loan amounts) are usually fixed, but asset prices can fluctuate enormously.\n\nWhen interest rates are at a historic low, it is also dangerous to ignore the fact that such a development is in no way an indication of accelerating economic growth or recovery.\n\nPresumably, it is also a sign of the times, exceptional as they are, that the most powerful country in the world is being led by a man who has declared, “I’m the king of debt. I love debt!” and whose CV lists the bankruptcy of four of his companies. In spring 2016, when then presidential candidate Donald Trump was asked about the future servicing and repayment of US government debt, he gave the following answer: “I would borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal.”\n"}]},{"id":"payments","title":"Payment details","content":[{"title":"LHV Täiendav Pensionifond","type":"markdown","column":"left","content":"**Recipient**\nAS Pensionikeskus\n\n**Account**\nEE141010220263146225 - SEB Pank AS\nEE362200221067235244 - Swedbank AS\nEE961700017004379157 - Luminor Bank AS\n\n**Explanation**\n30101119828, EE3600010294, IK: Your ID Code\n\n**Amount**\nAmount invested in euros.\n"}]},{"id":"disbursements","title":"Disbursements","content":[{"title":"Disbursements","type":"markdown","column":"left","content":"**Pension agreement**\n\nThe state does not tax payments from the 3rd pension pillar if you have concluded an insurance contract under which regular pension payments will be made to you for the rest of your life.\n\n[See more at Pensionikeskus.ee](http://www.pensionikeskus.ee)\n\n**Resale of shares**\n\nFund shares can always be sold, in which case income tax applies.
