How should foreign pension/retirement accounts be classified on form 8938?

I have foreign pension/retirement accounts in a foreign country. They were established by past foreign employers that I used to work for.

I need to report them on form 8938 - Foreign Financial Assets. The form is asking whether the accounts are deposit accounts or custodial accounts. What is the answer to that?
