Retirement Planning
Complementary Strategies to Colpensiones and Private Funds
The mandatory pension in Colombia may not be enough to maintain your standard of living after age 62. Understanding the difference between the Defined Benefit Regime (Prima Media) and the Individual Savings Regime is the first step toward a peaceful retirement.
Defined Benefit Regime (Prima Media)
Managed by Colpensiones, it offers a pension calculated on the salary average of the last 10 years. Ideal for workers with stable salaries and more than 1,300 weeks of contributions.
Individual Savings
Private funds such as Porvenir, Protección, Colfondos, and Old Mutual. Your pension depends on the accumulated capital. Greater flexibility but also greater personal responsibility.
Voluntary Pensions (FPV)
Additional contributions that reduce your income tax base by up to 25%. Products offered by funds like Skandia, Old Mutual, and the same pension fund managers. A key tool to complement your mandatory pension.
Plan your major purchases
Buying a home or financing higher education in Colombia requires strategy. Learn about mortgage credit options with rates from Banco de la República, Mi Casa Ya subsidies, and ICETEX educational credit lines.
