Summary/Abstract: Due to the legal changes, people paying pension insurance have the right to choose between ZUS and OFE. The decision may be made every two years. In addition, open pension funds have lost the right to invest in treasury bonds, consequently investment portfolios will be totally different. They will be particularly more risky and they will be similar to stable growth mutual funds portfolios in terms of structure. During the period of the functioning of the pension reform, open pension funds investments resembled open-end stable growth mutual funds investments. In this work, a comparative analysis of the investment effectiveness of OFE and open-end stable growth funds was carried out over the last couple of years. The comparative tool, used in the analysis, are the measures of the gains and losses, as well as the modification of the Sharpe's indicator. As a market factor, an investment indicator which is a linear combination of WIG index and the index of TBSP was proposed.
