In Switzerland, BVG/LPP stands for “berufliche Vorsorge-Gesetz” / “Loi sur la prévoyance professionnelle” (“Occupational Pensions Act”) and covers pension funds, the second pillar of the Swiss pension system. Together with first-pillar benefits, the second pillar is designed to largely maintain people’s standard of living in old age or in the event of disability or death.
