Bus/Financial - Insurance / Pension Funds
Portuguese term or phrase: montepio
A preocupação com questões previdenciárias dos médicos cooperados de todo o país levou a Unimed do Brasil a criar, em 1989, através da incorporação do Montepio Cooperativista do Brasil - MONTECOOPER, a Unimed Seguradora S.A.
The dictionary translates the term as "pension fund" but for me this is "fundo de pensão", apparently a different concept. Any better options?
