Pension Fund’s Historical Annual Real Return Recovers in Costa Rica

December 2008 and January 2009 are the first months since February 2007 in which historical real annual return is a little bit higher than the preceding month. The mandatory regime’s (ROP) historical real annual return passed from 3.55% in November to 3.61% in December and to 3.77% in January. Other regimes as the Labor Capitalization Fund (FCL) and the voluntary (V Colones) also experienced a recovery in December and January (See graph).
