Magánnyugdíjpénztár translates to "private pension fund" in English. It refers to a voluntary, privately managed pension scheme that individuals can contribute to in addition to the state pension system. These funds aim to provide supplementary income during retirement. Contributions are typically made by the individual, and sometimes by employers, with the money being invested in various financial instruments to generate returns. The performance of the pension fund depends on these investment outcomes.

The concept of magánnyugdíjpénztár emerged in many countries as a response to perceived inadequacies or sustainability concerns within traditional pay-as-you-go state pension systems. They offer a way for individuals to take more direct control over their retirement savings and potentially achieve a higher retirement income. The specific regulations, tax incentives, and investment options available for these funds vary significantly by country. Investors are usually presented with different investment portfolios with varying risk levels, allowing them to choose a strategy that aligns with their risk tolerance and time horizon until retirement. Upon reaching retirement age, the accumulated capital in the magánnyugdíjpénztár can be withdrawn as a lump sum, a regular annuity, or a combination of both, depending on the fund's rules and the individual's preference.
