(Capital) ASF: Pension Funds In Romania Cannot Be Nationalized Mandatory private pension funds (Pillar II) are entirely fed from state allocations. These allocations, once transferred towards pension funds on behalf of beneficiary Romanian citizens, become assets under private property and cannot be withdrawn or nationalized (seized), according to Romania’s Constitution, said Misu Negritoiu, head of the Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF). Beside the state pension fund (Pillar I), Romania has two other types of “private” pension funds: mandatory pension funds, which are based on state budget allocations, but are privately managed (Pillar II), and voluntary pension funds, fed from individual and privately managed contributions (Pillar III), both set up under organic laws, in 2004 and 2006, respectively.Pillar III pension funds are completely private.
