Responsibilities of the supervisory authority

The FMA supervises all the business activities of institutions for occupational retirement provision (pension funds) and monitors compliance with laws, solvency of the pension funds, and creation of the required provisions, and it ensures that the interests of members and beneficiaries are protected.

In addition to supervising pension funds, the FMA carries out the following tasks in particular:

• preparing laws and international agreements;
• providing information and carrying out legal clarifications regarding the law governing occupational retirement provision.

The FMA also represents the interests of the Liechtenstein financial centre and is a member of the EIOPA within the EEA as well as global bodies such as the International Organisation of Pension Supervisors (IOPS).
