Geroa Pentsioak EPSV de Empleo (hereinafter Geroa Pentsioak) is a Workplace Pension Fund comprised, in equal parts, of Employers and Trade Unions. It is a private entity with its own legal personality, independent from Financial Entities, voluntary and social. Its purpose is to complement Social Security pensions within the Basque Country. The contingencies it covers are retirement, disability and death of employees for companies and sectors who are members.
With this objective, the contributions, made in the same way during the working life of the workers, are managed by a professional team charged with the duty of managing them in an independent, efficient and sustainable manner in the long term, with the aim of reducing purchasing loss power of the pensioners.
EPSVs are Basque Country Pension Plans, and they are regulated and supervised by the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country. There is an entire series of legal and regulatory standards from the Parliament and the Basque Government regulating EPSVs regarding their establishment, operation, liquidity, etc., so they have certain characteristics of their own that set them apart from pension funds.
