What Capof does

CAPOF (Caixa de Assistência e Aposentadoria dos Funcionários do Banco do Estado do Maranhão) is a Brazilian closed private pension entity (entidade fechada de previdência complementar, EFPC) founded on May 15, 1967, and headquartered in São Luís, Maranhão. Originally created and sponsored by Banco do Estado do Maranhão S.A. (BEM), CAPOF transitioned sponsorship to Banco Bradesco S.A. in February 2004 when Bradesco acquired BEM via public auction. Following Bradesco's Empty Sponsor Withdrawal (Retirada Vazia) approved by PREVIC in September 2023, CAPOF now operates without an active corporate sponsor and administers only the Plano Misto de Benefícios (PMB), a variable-contribution supplementary pension plan, after the Plano de Benefício Definido (PBD) was closed and migrated into PMB in January 2023.

The entity's core products are the PMB pension plan (covering retirement supplementation, disability retirement, death pension, sickness allowance, and death benefits), the Plano de Gestão Administrativa (PGA) for administrative cost management, and a participant loan program offering preferential rates (0.50% per month + IPCA, plus 1.50% admin fee and 3.00% FQM fee). Supporting services include investment management reporting, actuarial demonstrations, financial education content, and a participant self-service portal. Technology is described as standard actuarial and administrative systems with no proprietary AI/ML components. Distribution is entirely employer-based payroll deduction, augmented by a physical service office at Jaracati Shopping and the online participant portal.

Revenue mechanics are contribution-driven and non-commercial in nature: regular monthly contributions from active participants and sponsoring companies, calculated as percentages of participation salary, supplemented by investment returns on plan assets and financial charges on participant loans. With 8 employees and a closed legacy participant base (no new enrollments post-2023), CAPOF operates as a small, regulatorily-constrained administration entity under PREVIC oversight and Lei Complementar 108/2001 and 109/2001. The entity is governed by a Deliberative Council and Fiscal Council and has received ABRAPP Engagement Seals (Gold 2022, Silver 2023, Gold 2024).
