Regulations enacted in December 1992 provided for the operation of the private pension system, which eliminated the government monopoly on providing pension, disability and death benefits. The Private Pension System, which started operating in June 1993, is based on a contribution basis, whereby each affiliate's contributions are credited to an individual capitalization account. These contributions make up a pension fund, administered by the AFPs [Administradora de Fondos Pensiones](private pension fund administrators). These entities are in charge of managing pension funds and offering retirement disability, survivorship and death benefits to their affiliates. 1, record 3, English, - individual%20capitalization%20account

Generally, under current federal and provincial legislation, insurance and pension institutions can only invest in companies that have four to five years of positive earnings or four to five years of dividend payout. The provisions vary from province to province, but in all cases companies that meet those performance criteria-known as "legal-for-life" companies-presumably have sound financial histories that are deemed safe for life insurance companies to invest in. The federal government, however, plans to do away with the legal-for-life requirement and replace it with new "prudent portfolio" rules to guide the investment practices of insurance and pension fund managers. 1, record 7, English, - legal%2Dfor%2Dlife%20company
