This is for pensions only, If you want to do stocks on your own, you can do whatever, and even leverage the f out of it.

But I actually think this is fine for pensions.

A pension is very unlike a 401k. A 401k is an investment account that you, the employee own. A pension is an account the employer owns, m along with a promise they’ll pay out of it at a certain rate.

Pensions are different in Denmark, the employee owns the pension, and has a lot of options on how it works, how its invested etc. Thats also why pensionplans cant really default in Denmark, because its the employees own account, with money already in it.
