Chile’s AFP members will not need to take any action when the multifunds system ends in April 2027. Their savings will be transferred automatically into new generational funds based on their age.
Pedro Pizarro, president of the Previsional Advisory Council, explained the change on El Diario de Cooperativa. Asked what procedures members would need to complete, he replied: “Nothing. You will be notified, because this is based on age, and age is information that each of us is known to have.”

The new system will create 10 groups, or age-based investment vehicles. Each administrator will establish the cohorts and place members in the group that corresponds to their age. As Pizarro put it: “The administrator one is with has to create these 10 cohorts, which are basically these 10 investment vehicles, and each person will be incorporated automatically into the one that corresponds to their age.”
The reform will eliminate the existing A, B, C, D and E multifunds, under which members can currently choose where to place their mandatory savings and move them between funds. Members will instead be assigned automatically to one of the 10 generational funds.
