Can I also save money in my pension account instead of only investing?

At Vive your contribution is always invested; we do not offer a savings variant. You can, however, choose a more cautious strategy with more bonds and fewer equities, focused on preserving capital.

You keep the fiscal advantage of the lijfrente, but with lower expected fluctuations and a lower expected return. More on the approach at pension investing, or read pension investing versus pension saving.
