Distributor: The distributor does not manage the pension assets of participants, etc., so pension assets are protected even if the distributor goes bankrupt.
Investment trust management company: The investment trust management company does not manage the pension assets of participants, etc., so pension assets are protected even if the investment trust management company goes bankrupt.
