Insurance companies, employee provision funds & pension funds

Insurance companies, employee provision funds, and pension funds are nowadays confronted by numerous challenges. They have to find investment solutions by which they can fulfil their future payment obligations in an environment of low interest rates. Also, statutory and regulatory requirements determine their scope of action. As partner of many years, Erste Asset Management knows the needs of the industry and can develop suitable investment modules.

In doing so, they comply with statutory and regulatory requirements such as the Austrian Pension Fund Act (PKG) or the Austrian Employee and Self-Employed Provision Act (BMSVG). The focus is on the achievement of a surplus return relative to the internal rate of return or the benchmark. Please note the risks when investing in securities.
