Interest on retirement savings

PKL's Board of Trustees decided to pay 1.75% interest (BVG interest 1.0%) on the retirement savings of the active insured persons for 2021. The total retirement savings, i.e. the mandatory (BVG) assets as well as the extra-mandatory assets, earned interest at 1.75%.

For the current year, interest of 1.0% will be paid initially (equals the BVG interest rate for mandatory retirement savings for 2022). The Board of Trustees will decide about the final interest rate for 2022 as soon as the investment performance for 2022 has been calculated.
