In 2022, at the request of the Federal Social Insurance Office (FSIO) and in collaboration with Prof. Olivier Scaillet (University of Geneva, Geneva Finance Research Institute, Swiss Finance Institute), Pittet Associates carried out a study on the “Effects of a Long Period of Low Interest Rates on Occupational Pension Plans”. The aim of the study was to show the direct and indirect effects of interest rate trends on the financial capacity and soundness of the 2nd pillar. Another objective was to review investment provisions to determine whether or not they constitute an obstacle to sustainable investment policy.
Originally published in French, the study is now available in German and is available online free of charge.
