Bus/Financial - Insurance / pension insurance
Swedish term or phrase: pensionsförsäkring
In a list of fringe benefits (förmåner) which a small private Swedish company provides to certain employees.
Query: Is "pensionsförsäkring" just old-age pension insurance (e.g. an annuity), or might it also include disability benefits (privat invaliditetspension) up to a certain age? Also might it include certain medical care benefits for accidental injury (especially while on foreign travel), in connection with the disability benefit coverage?

retirement annuity, pension insurance
Explanation:
Most kinds of insurance can come with extras. Sometimes these extras even become standard in some countries, but not others. Look, for example, at Swedish HEMFÖRSÄKRING, which almost always includes travel insurance, and even health insurance abroad for a number of days. Pensionsförsäkring is primarily about having a more generous retirement income. The fact that there are extras need not change the name, any more than life insurance needing to be called something else when it includes accidental disability features.
