Returns
When investing in a Private Pension over many years or even decades, it is important to focus on long-term performance. It is also important to understand the difference between nominal returns and real returns.
Nominal returns show how much an investment has grown before accounting for inflation and costs. Real returns are adjusted for inflation and costs, providing a clearer picture of the actual growth in the value of your savings.
Nominal returns
Net nominal and real returns
The chart shows the net nominal and net real returns of Eign – 50/50 for 2025, together with the average annual returns over the past 5 and 10 years.
The difference between nominal and real returns (example):
You invest ISK 100,000 in a savings account earning 10% interest. After one year, your balance has grown to ISK 110,000. Your nominal return is therefore ISK 10,000.
If inflation during the same period is 5%, the real return is lower because inflation reduces the purchasing power of your money. Using the real return formula, the return is 4.76%, meaning the real value of your savings has increased by approximately ISK 4,760.
