By Law in 2004 pension and life insurance company were required to put in place a system to provide information to affiliates on the values of the different pension options

Similarly affiliates were mandated to make inquiries through this system as a requisite for retirement

Thus a corporation was set up, SCOMP S.A., to provide this information system; its owners are the pension companies 50% and the life annuity companies 50%
