A look back at the Employee Benefits seminar: what does the increase in the statutory guaranteed return mean for your company?

As a broker, we take the provision of timely and accurate information about regulatory changes to our corporate clients very seriously. This autumn, for example, we twice held a seminar on ‘The impact of the increase of the statutory guaranteed return (WAP) on supplementary pension plans for companies’. Our colleagues shared interesting insights and practical tips with the many attendees.

The WAP guarantee will rise from 1.75% to 2.50% on 1 January 2025 – a change that will affect your organisation. How can you ensure that your employees’ supplementary pension plan remains optimal in the future? We took a deep dive into this issue during the seminar, covering points such as:

  • What are the factors in possible shortfalls?
  • What are the legal obligations for your organisation?
  • What alternative financing options are there?
