Now it's official - Interest Rate Cut in the Occupational Pension
The minimum interest rate for BVG credits will be decreased to 1.25%.
Once again the Federal Council followed the recommendation of the federal Commission for occupational pensions and lowers the minimum legal interest rate for BVG credits from 1.75% to 1.25% by 1 January 2016.
Note that only the assets from compulsory contribution are subject to the minimum interest rate. For extraordinary credits less interest may be paid. A higher interest is of course permitted for all assets, but it is rarely granted.
