Chapter 2. Procedure for forming and accounting for target claims, target savings, as well as accrual of target claims

      4. The National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter - NB RK) shall annually calculate the total amount of target claims of participants of target claims, average investment income in compliance herewith.

      5. The annual calculation of the average investment income of the National Fund (hereinafter - AII) shall be performed by multiplying the annual average (geometric mean) return on the currency assets of the National Fund over the last eighteen years by the monthly average (arithmetic mean) market value of the net currency assets of the National Fund and shall be performed using the following formula:

      AII = IR*NFmonthly average where:

      NFmonthly average is the monthly average (arithmetic mean) market value of the net currency assets of the National Fund for the year preceding the reporting year, the calculation thereof is made according to the following formula:

      NFmonthly average = (NF(clear1+…+ NFclear12)/12, where:

      NFclear is the market value of foreign currency assets at the end of each month of the year preceding the reporting year, less accrued liabilities, including the amount of target claims, as reported by the global custodian;

      IR is the average investment income rate calculated as the annual average (geometric mean) yield of the currency assets of the National Fund over the last eighteen years preceding the reporting year, the calculation thereof being determined by the following formula:

      IR = ((1+AI1) *…* (1+AI18))(1/18)-1, where:

      AI is the return on foreign currency assets of the National Fund for a single year.

      For the purposes hereof, the return on the currency assets of the National Fund for a given year shall refer to the percentage-weighted return on the currency part of the National Fund, estimated based on the data reported by the Global Custodian on currency assets and reflected in the annual report on the formation and use of the National Fund, prepared by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan jointly with the NB RK under the Budget Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as the Budget Code).

      Consequently, the amount of the target claims of the reporting year shall be calculated using the formula TC50%AII = 50%*AII

      The total amount of target claims shall be formed by summing up target claims for the reporting year and the total amount of target claims for previous periods, with due account of the average investment income rate. Annual actual payments to the recipients of target savings shall be deducted from the total amount of target claims for previous periods.

      Therefore, the total amount of target claims (TCtotal) at the end of the reporting year shall be calculated using the following formula:

      TCtotal=TC50%AII+(TCprev –SP)*(1+IR), where:

      SP is the total amount of payments during the reporting year, calculated based on data from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund (UAPF);

      TCprev is the amount of target claims as of the end of the year preceding the reporting year.

      The sum of target claims shall be rounded off to two decimal places.

      An example of the calculation of target claims with the actual amount of target claims based on the results of the National Fund management for 2022 is shown in Annex 1 hereto.

      6. Annually (October 1), the NB RK shall forward to the UAPF an annual report on the results of trust management of the National Fund assets, containing information on the total amount of target claims, the amount of target claims accrued for the reporting year and the rate of average investment income, accrued on the amount of target claims as of the end of the year preceding the reporting year, within the terms similar to the terms of reporting to the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, established by the trust management agreement of the National Fund, approved by Decree No. 655 of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan of May 18, 2001 “On the Trust Management Agreement of the National Fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan”.

      7. Prior to the year in which the participants of the target claims reach the age of eighteen, the target claims shall be invested in financial instruments within the framework of investment activities for the management of the National Fund.

      Once money is credited to the target assets account of the UAPF opened with the NB RK in US dollars (hereinafter referred to as the target assets account) under paragraph 16 hereof, the target savings shall not be invested in financial instruments and shall become available for withdrawal by the recipients of target savings or heirs upon the occurrence of the conditions specified herein.

      8. The UAPF shall obtain the following information on the participants of the target claims from the “Natural Persons” State Database (hereinafter referred to as the NP SD) via integration of information systems:

      1) on obtaining citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan at birth;

      2) on the acquisition of citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan after birth, specifying the date of acquisition of citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan;

      3) on loss or renunciation of citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan, specifying the date of loss or renunciation of citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan pursuant to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan”;

      4) on death, specifying the date of death or the date of entry into force of the court decision to declare a person dead.

      The UAPF shall independently generate an electronic list of participants of target claims in the UAPF information system based on the information received from the NP SD.

      9. The total number of participants in the target claims at the end of the reporting year 2023 of the UAPF shall be based on the total number of participants in the target claims at the end of 2023 included in the electronic list, excluding persons deceased or declared deceased pursuant to court judgements that entered into legal force by the end of 2023.

      In subsequent years, the total number of participants in the targeted claims at the end of the UAPF reporting year shall be calculated using the following formula:

      P = Pprev+ BP+ PC– DP– PLC– PRM+ PPC - PPA, where:

      P are the participants of the target claims at the end of the reporting year (including those who died or were declared dead by an effective court decision within the reporting year);

      Pprev are the participants of target claims as of the end of the year preceding the reporting year (including those who died or were declared dead by an effective court decision within the year preceding the reporting year);

      BP are the participants of target requirements born in the reporting year;

      PC are the participants of the target requirements who took citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the reporting year;

      DP are the participants of target claims who died or were declared dead by an enforceable court decision within the year preceding the reporting year (excluding those who died or were declared dead by an enforceable court decision by the end of 2023);

      PLC are the participants of the target claims who lost the citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan, who withdrew from the citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the reporting year;

      PRM are the participants of the target claims who reached the age of eighteen in the reporting year;

      PPC are the children previously unaccounted for who are or were eligible to be part of the target claims;

      PPA are children previously accounted for who were not eligible to be part of the target claims.

      10. Annually not later than:

      1) the fifteenth day of the first month following the reporting year, the UAPF shall:

      generate an electronic list of participants of target claims in the UAPF information system based on the information received from the State Database of Natural Persons in compliance with paragraph 9 hereof as of the end of the reporting year (December 31), with due account for changes received by UAPF from the State Database of Natural Persons as of 00:00 a.m. Astana time on the fifteenth day of the first month of the current year;

      forward the electronic list of participants of target requirements to the operator of the e-government information and communication infrastructure for verification;

      2) two working days from the date of receipt of the electronic list from the UAPF, the operator of the e-government information and communication infrastructure shall confirm the accuracy of the generated list of participants in the target claims in the form as per Annex 2 hereto.

      11. Calculation of target claims per participant of the target claims to be accrued in the current year shall be made using the following formula:

      STC50%AII = TC/P, where

      P is the total number of participants in the target claims at the end of the reporting year, calculated as per paragraph 9 hereof;

      TC is the sum of target claims for the reporting year, adjusted for the sums of target claims of target claims participants:

      who lost the citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan, who left the citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the reporting year;

      those who have not been previously accounted for, have or had the right to be a participant in the target claims;

      previously accounted for, who had no right to be participants in the target claims;

      as well as on the values of the balances after rounding of the STCII for the reporting year and STC50%AII for the calendar year preceding the reporting year.

      The value of TC shall be calculated using the following formula:

      TC = TC50%AII+TCadj, where

      TC50%AII is the amount of target claims for the reporting year calculated as per paragraph 5 hereof;

      TCadj is the sum of the adjustment, which shall be reflected in the UAPF system and shall be distributed to the participants of the target claims in the year following the current year. The value of TCadj shall be calculated using the following formula:

      TCadj = TCPLC + TCPPA – TCPPC+CABAF, where

      TCPLC is the total amount of target claims of target claims participants who left due to loss of citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan, renunciation of citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the reporting year, calculated for these target claims participants using the following formula:

      TCPLC = i=1PLCSTCprevi(1+IR), where

      TCPPA is the total sum of target claims of target claims participants included in the electronic list of the calendar year preceding the reporting year as not eligible to be target claims participants, calculated for these target claims participants using the following formula:

      TCPPA = i=1PPASTCprevi(1+ IR), where

      TCPPC is the total amount of target claims of target claims participants that were absent in the electronic list of the calendar year preceding the reporting year, calculated for these target claims participants using the formula:

      TCPPC = k=1PPC STCprevk(1+IR)

      For each target claims participant who was absent from the electronic list of the calendar year preceding the reporting year, the calendar year in which this target claims participant shall be counted as a target claims participant (hereinafter referred to as the entry year) shall be specified. The value STCprevkfor this target claims participant shall be taken to be equal to the value STCprev of the target claims participants recorded as target claims participants in the specified year of entry.

      For target claim participants who died or were declared dead by an enforceable court decision prior to the commencement of the year preceding the reporting year or who reached the age of eighteen prior to the commencement of the reporting year, the year of entry as well as the calendar year in which this target claims participant ceases to be a target claims participant (hereinafter referred to as the year of retirement) shall be determined. The value of the target claims for such a target claims participant shall be assumed to be equal to the value of the target claims in the year of disposal for the target claims participants recorded as target claims participants in the year of entry.

      CABAF is the the aggregate sum of balances following rounding of the amount of target claims of the reporting year per one target claims participant (STC50%AII) and the amount of investment income accrued on the amount of target claims per one target claims participant at the end of the year preceding the reporting year (STCprev*AI), for all target claims participants.

      12. The sum of target claims per target claims participant as of the end of the reporting year shall be calculated using the following formula:

      STC = STC50%AII+ STCprev*(1+ IR), where

      STCprev is the sum of target claims per participant of target claims at the end of the year preceding the reporting year;

      STCprev shall be rounded to two decimal places using the cut-off method. The values of the balances after rounding shall be summed up to calculate the total balances for all participants in the target claims (CABAF);

      AR is the average annual (geometric mean) yield of the currency assets of the National Fund for eighteen years, calculated as per paragraph 5 hereof.

      13. The control over the procedure of keeping records of target claims, target savings and target assets by the UAPF shall be exercised by the competent authority for regulation, control and supervision of the financial market and financial organisations.

      14. Based on the information received from the NB RK pursuant to paragraph 6 hereof and the number of target claims participants included in the electronic list formed under paragraph 10 hereof, the UAPF shall calculate and enter into the UAPF information system the data per target claims participant:

      1) on the amount of target claims for the reporting year;

      2) the amount of investment income accrued on the amount of target claims as of the end of the year preceding the reporting year.

      15. Target claims, earmarked savings and earmarked assets shall be accounted for in US dollars.

      16. Target savings accounts shall be opened within three working days from the date of crediting the amount of target savings to the target assets account of the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund under paragraph 19 hereof:

      2) for participants of special-purpose claims who have died or have been declared dead by a court judgement that has entered into legal force;

      3) for children who were previously unaccounted for and who were eligible to be participants in target claims or recipients of target savings.
