Summary/Abstract: Effectiveness of the Universal Pension Fund Societies which are managers of the Open Pension Funds are usually evaluated by comparing the different types of financial and economic indicators; comparing the value of the investment portfolio or by changing the value of the units. These comparisons are mostly incomplete and also there are no multi-dimensional comparisons. The article attempt to check the effectiveness of the Universal Pension Fund Societies using two alternative methods of frontier analysis: the parametric Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Two alternative models were used for each of the methods. Comparison of the effectiveness of Universal Pension Fund Societies from both, the customer's and the company's perspective were also done in the article. The research have shown that there are differences in the effectiveness of the Universal Pension Fund Societies based on value of portfolio as well as the perspective used in the measurement.
