PENSION COMMITMENTS Defined benefit pension plans exist within the Group . These are only smaller pension plans . For white-collar employees in Sweden ITP 2-plan defined benefit pensionplans for retirement- and family pensions ( or family pension ) are secured through insurance with Alecta . According to a statement from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board , UFR 10 Accounting for pension plan ITP 2 financed by insurance in Alecta , this is a defined benefit plan that covers several employers . For financial year 2016 the company has not had access to information in order to account for its proportionate share of the plan ' s obligations , plan assets and costs which meant that the plan has not been possible to account for as a defined benefit plan . The pension plan ITP 2 secured through insurance with Alecta is therefore recognized as a defined contribution plan . The premium for the defined benefit retirement and family pension is individually calculated and is dependent on factors including salary , previously earned pension and expected remaining period of service . Expected premiums for 2018 amount to SEK 10.0 million ( SEK 7.3 million ).
The collective funding level is the market value of Alecta ’ s assets in percent of the commitments calculated in accordance with Alecta ´ s calculation assumptions for insurance purposes , which do not comply with IAS 19 . The collective consolidation level is normally allowed to vary between 125 and 155 percent . If Alecta ’ s consolidation level fall below 125 percent or exceed 155 percent , measures should be taken in order to create conditions to reestablish the consolidation level to the normal range . At low consolidation , a measure can be to raise the agreed price for new agreements . At high consolidation , a measure can be to introduce premium reductions . Alecta ’ s collective funding ratio at the end of the year was 154 % ( 149 %).
