Branch 21 and Branch 23: solidity and complementarity |
This webinar will focus on the solid way AG manages its branch 21 and branch 23 products, despite the low long-term interest rates in the market. In this context, your speaker will explain how best to fund your employees’ supplementary pensions and how to limit the market’s impact on your group insurance and on you as an employer. Finally, in this session, you will also discover the consequences and risks of a choice between branch 21 and branch 23 for your group insurance.
This webinar has ended. You can now watch a recording of the session (only available in French and Dutch):
What are the key takeaways from this webinar? -
Branch 21 offers a
guaranteed interest rate. In addition, with the
cashflow matching strategy and a
well-diversified investment portfolio (bonds, shares, real estate), you earn a
higher return as profit sharing may also be awarded. This contributes to a unique and attractive total return.
-
With
Branch 23, your capital is invested in
investment funds. AG offers a
wide range of professionally managed
funds following the
multi-management strategy. With this strategy and our experienced managers all over the world, you can earn
attractive long-term returns in Branch 23. You can also opt for solutions that include a buffer to limit the impact of volatility.
-
With a
hybrid group insurance product (Branch 21 + Branch 23), you get the best of both worlds. You combine the
security of Branch 21 with the
higher potential upside of Branch 23. If you are more of a defensive investor, you may want to find out more about Branch 23 first. And if you are an experienced, this hybridity will serve to diversify your investments.

Webinar 18 May 2021 (Dutch) / 20 May 2021 (French)
Return to work: your Corporate Social Responsibility as an employer? |
This webinar shines a spotlight on long-term sick leave and looks at what employers are doing in terms of return-to-work policies. At one time, looking after employees’ mental well-being was considered an added bonus, not a necessity. But these days, employers are increasingly expected to address mental well-being on the same terms as physical health and safety, as part of their wider commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR).
This webinar has ended. You can now watch a recording of the session (only available in French and Dutch):
What are the key takeaways from this webinar? -
The
role of employers in reducing long-term sick leave has become a
hot topic. Some are in favour of a strict approach complete with fines and legal measures, while others prefer a proactive approach that's part of the company's overall
CSR (corporate social responsibility) policy. The notion of CSR is often synonymous with responsible manufacturing and investment, but the
management of human capital is also an essential feature of corporate social responsibility.
-
Stress-related conditions such as burnout are one of the
main causes of incapacity for work. As an employer, you have legal obligations towards staff members on long-term sick leave, such as statutory return-to-work assistance.
The Return To Work approach offered by AG through its Income Care insurance provides you with additional support in the fight against
extended incapacity leave. With its proven track record of success, this approach will have your staff members back at work safely and for the long haul.
-
According to scientific research by the Vigor Unit and a survey of 1,000 Belgian employees, most staff members lay the blame for stress-related sick leave - and the
responsibility for doing something about it - firmly at their employer's door. Employees with a
caring employer estimate the
risk of being signed off due to stress almost three times lower than those who viewed their employer as more business-focused.
