WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AFP AND ONP
Choosing between the Pension Fund Administrator (AFP) and the Pension Normalization Office (ONP) system in Peru requires a series of important financial decisions that directly affect the economic future of workers during their retirement.
In the AFP scheme, the amount of pension one receives is strongly influenced by two fundamental factors: the level of savings accumulated over a lifetime of work and the return on investments. In this system, the responsibility rests with the individual to manage their contribution and make strategic decisions on how to invest their funds.
On the other hand, the ONP model takes a different approach. Here, workers’ contributions are added to a common fund that will serve as the source of pensions for many beneficiaries. However, one important aspect distinguishes this scheme from AFPs: in ONP, individual contributions do not generate profit. This means that, regardless of the amount accumulated in the fund, no further increase can be obtained through investments.
This marked difference in the generation of profits directly affects the size of the pensions that workers can expect. Those who choose AFP have the opportunity to optimize their savings and stimulate fund growth through intelligent investment decisions. On the other hand, those who choose ONP should consider that their pension will be determined in large part by the amount contributed, without additional factors of investment performance.
Ultimately, choosing between AFP and ONP involves a careful assessment of retirement goals, investment capacity, and risk tolerance. Workers should consider these important factors when making decisions about their long-term financial security.
WHAT ARE AFPS?
Entities called Pension Fund Administrators (AFP) are established as private organizations that assume the responsibility of managing financial resources for retirement, within a framework of individual accounts.
These entities were born in 1993 and conduct their activity in the field of Private Pension System (SPP).
AFPs play a major role in providing benefits in the form of pensions, covering areas such as retirement, disability, and survivor protection. In addition, they also play a role in helping with funeral expenses.
