the voluntary pension fund “SiCRED Pensions”;
2. SiCRED Assistance sh.p.k., created on June 2012, which offers consultancy services in accordance
with the provisions of the law in force on health and safety at work.

Our Employees
Our high qualified employees are the most important element in our success. The company staff
consists of individuals with a long successful career in insurance market educated and trained in
prestigious educational institutions in Albania and abroad. Their teamwork spirit, the energy and
the relatively young age, along with the investment of SiCRED sh.a. in Human Resources, are key to
the so far achievements and provide a solid base for the future. The skills and the dedication of such
high-quality team add value to our products and services, and gained the Company a good position

Pension Fund Management Company SiCRED sh.a.
The Company was licensed by the Albanian Financial Supervisory Authority (AFSA) to exercise the
activity for the pool and investment of funds deriving from voluntary pension schemes, as well as
processing of pension payments. At present, the company manages the voluntary pension fund
“SiCRED Pensions”.
Compering to the competitive companies, which are primarily focused on the accumulation phase,
neglecting the phase of pension distribution, SiCRED Pensions performs a comprehensive asset
management according to the investment over the whole life cycle. This is closely related to the
mission of the company which has as objective the preservation of living standard during retirement
phase. Since this objective lies in time in the retirement phase, it is extremely necessary to have
an appropriate coordination of the accumulation phase and the way these accumulated assets are
managed in the pensions distribution phase.
Mission
Our mission is the preservation of the living standard during the retirement phase. We believe that
this mission is closely related to what people are really expecting from their pension. People do not
want to have a living standard during retirement worse than the standard they had before retirement.
We make possible for this not to be the case, by balancing the living standard before the retirement
and the living standard after retirement. Along with the fund’s assets management, we offer to our
members free financial advising, education and risk management.
Values:
Professionalism – we operate according to the best know practices on pensions fund management.
Trust – We aim to create o bond of trust with our clients, following with high rigorously the guidelines
and regulations of the supervisory authority (AFSA).
Care for the client – Our client comes first!
