What I need to know
Swiss Life can support your company foundation in the following areas:
Risk reinsurance: Reinsurance of the risks of death and disability through individual or flat-rate coverage allows you to increase the risk capacity of your company foundation in a targeted way, or, if you so wish, even with regulation coverage.
Longevity: By paying into Swiss Life retirement pensions, you can remove the longevity risk from your company foundation. Swiss Life manages the pensions for you, clarifies entitlement to benefits and pays the pensions without you having to provide additional funding if the framework conditions change.
Portfolio management: Swiss Life will manage the portfolio for you, field enquiries from insured persons and provide the Management Board with advice and support. You can concentrate fully on your core mission.
Investments: You can commission the professionals of Swiss Life Asset Managers to invest the foundation assets and benefit from their analyses based on many years of expertise in investing policyholder assets. You can also use the successful investment groups of the Swiss Life Investment Foundation to invest your foundation's assets in a cost-effective and return-conscious manner.
In addition to the risks of death and disability, the longevity risk can be insured through paying into retirement pensions. You can also delegate the investment risk of your retirement savings by selecting a full insurance solution.
Regulation cover: With regulation cover (congruent financial backing), the reinsured benefits correspond to those in the regulations. This means that all benefits are fully reinsured and the company foundation does not have to create additional reserves for individual, uncovered risks.
Partially congruent financial backing: In contrast to congruent financial backing, only individual risks are reinsured with partially congruent financial backing. The other risks are covered by the reserves of the company foundation.
Stop loss: With stop loss insurance, the company foundation determines the total loss for which it is solely liable (retention fee). If the claims amount for the entire year exceeds the retention fee, the stop loss insurance kicks in, and a maximum amount applies to the individual loss event.
Excess of loss: The excess of loss insurance covers those cases which exceed the maximum amount of the stop loss insurance for individual loss events or those cases which the foundation cannot or does not want to cover for risk-related reasons.
The provision and active management of a broad range of investment solutions for institutional investors is one of the core competencies of Swiss Life Asset Managers; you also benefit from this and entrust us with the investment of the foundation's assets. You can also implement your investment strategy cost-effectively and professionally thanks to the broad range of Swiss Life Investment Foundation investment groups.
If you prefer not to manage the investment of your foundation assets and to reinsure your retirement savings under full insurance instead, you can enjoy full guarantees with the Swiss Life Company Protect solution. A compromise is also possible: With the Swiss Life Company Prime Solution, you can have the best of both worlds by investing at least 20% of your retirement savings yourself while up to a maximum of 80% of your retirement savings is reinsured with Swiss Life. Decide for yourself which solution is the best for your company foundation.
