1.25% additional interest due to reduction in pension conversion rate
December 2021: In order to reduce retirement losses due to the excessively high pension conversion rate, pension funds are reducing their conversion rates, including ALSA PK. With the latest reduction, ALSA PK was able to reduce retirement losses. The funds thus freed up are now credited to all insured persons with a one-time additional interest rate of 1.25%. The additional interest partially compensates for the reduction in the pension conversion rate.
As a result, the retirement assets of the insured will earn a total of 4.75% interest as of 31.12.2021 (3.50% performance + 1.25% reduction in the conversion rate).

Reduction of the retirement loss - New pension conversion rates from 2023 onwards
September 2021: ALSA PF aims to maintain financial stability even in an unfavourable environment. Low returns and increasing life expectancy with a constant pension conversion rate cause high retirement losses. These are borne 100% by the active insured. The costs for this can be quantified as 1% to 1.50% interest paid to the active insured. The active insured lack this interest when building up their pension capital.
ALSA PK will gradually reduce the pension conversion rate from 2023. This reduces retirement losses and brings the healthy financial stability desired by active members and pensioners. The interest on the pension capital can be increased by.
Who will be affected by the reduction?
All insured members who will turn 64 or 65 in 2023 or later and retire on a regular basis. Insured persons who will turn 64 or 65 in 2023 and are planning early retirement are also affected.
