Reading your retirement projection: Social Security, CGA and ACT Bancários
Three regimes, three sets of rules and one question: what income will actually be available, and from when.

Pension-fund members and participants
Independent technical and actuarial support for those whose retirement depends on a pension fund.
Context
Pension-fund documentation is written for regulators and administrators, not for the people whose retirement it determines. Members often cannot tell what they are entitled to, or what changes to the plan mean for them.
How we support this group
We read the plan, run the actuarial calculation and explain the result and its assumptions clearly — as technical advisers to the member, not to the fund.
Typical challenges
- Entitlements that are difficult to interpret
- Plan changes with unclear individual impact
- Comparing fund benefits with Social Security or CGA projections
- Needing an independent view separate from the fund's own communication
