The semi-autonomous Client Invest solution allows your company to keep control of your occupational benefits: You enjoy ideal conditions for an independent pension and investment concept, while benefiting from the advantages of affiliation to a collective foundation with AXA. We answer the most frequently asked questions regarding your pension solution here:
The risk benefits of death and disability are guaranteed by AXA. The occupational benefits fund, however, bears the investment risk for the retirement assets of the insured and also decides on how any additional earnings are to be used.
The strategy analysis forms the basis for the asset management of a pension solution. The company’s occupational benefits fund commission defines the investment strategy taking into account the risk capacity, risk tolerance, and target return. The companies are supported in these key processes and decisions by AXA Asset Management, Credit Suisse, or another asset manager of their choice.
