Transparent participation model
The Vita Classic retirement provision model is characterised by the direct and balanced participation of the insured in the investment income. This benefits them in the form of additional interest calculated according to a transparent mechanism.
The retirement provision model is explained in the brochure "Key facts at a glance" and in the retirement model fact sheet.
Interest earned on retirement savings capital
The overall interest earned in the case of the Vita Classic retirement provision model consists of a base interest rate and a share in the maximum additional interest.
The base interest corresponds to the legally determined minimum interest. If the coverage ratio amounts to at least 102% on the effective date at the end of November, additional interest is paid.
The share in the maximum additional interests is dependent on how long the company has been affiliated with the Vita Collective Foundation.
Thanks to the high investment income in past years, customers of the Vita Collective Foundation have benefited from total interest earned that is higher than average.
