Bulgaria’s pension funds last posted positive return a year ago, with all wading in the red for the two years through June 2009, show the latest numbers of the financial watchdog. The Financial Supervision Commission (FSC) has set bottom yields of -9.41% for universal pension funds and -11.14% for occupational schemes. According to the Social Security Code, the minimum yield requirement is based on the return recorded for the previous 24 months. The requirement was last updated in June 2008. The second quarter of 2009 was the fourth in a row when the regulator sets a negative bottom yield for universal and occupational schemes. The universal pension fund of pension insurer Badeshte could not meet the requirement for the last 24-month period and will have to tap reserves to close the gap. It failed to pass the threshold at the end of 2008 as well. All other supplementary mandatory pension insurance funds posted yields within the imposed limits. Universal pension funds posted a yield of -6.41%, while occupational schemes closed the period with an average annual yield of -8.14%.
