The total number of beneficiaries rose by 0.4% during the period from July to September 2016 to approximately 895,000 individuals, of whom approximately 10.3% drew a pension. The investment performance calculated by the Oesterreichische Kontrollbank (OeKB) stood at 3.2% for the 3rd quarter; while in the last three, five and ten years average performance was +5.1%, +5.6% and +2.9% respectively.
