How are the premiums invested?

Premiums are invested in the AGEmployee Benefits General Fund, a Branch 21-type investment fund that earns a guaranteed return, courtesy of AG Insurance. This way, your staff have the security of knowing that their supplementary pension is safe in our hands.

Depending on investment performance, additional profit sharing may also be awarded on top of the guaranteed return. There is, however, no guarantee that any profit sharing will be paid out and the amount may vary from year to year.

Classical Life offers a variety of possibilities for both employers and their staff

Discover the different possibilities of Classical Life

Classical Life offers employers several different options to choose from, plus an interesting opportunity for staff members.

Options for employers

You can invest the full premium amount into saving towards your staff members’ supplementary pension. Another alternative is to offer extra death benefit coverage, which entitles the beneficiaries to a lump-sum payment if the staff member passes away before reaching retirement age. This way, you protect your employees as well as their families.

You can also choose between a defined contribution or a defined benefit plan. In a defined contribution plan, you make regular fixed payments into the supplementary pension plan. In a defined benefit plan, the premium will vary depending on the benefit formula used for the plan, e.g. twice the participant’s gross annual salary.

Interesting opportunity for staff members: a cash advance

Your staff members have the option to take out a cash advance on their group insurance benefits. The funds can be used to buy, build or remodel real estate (such as a holiday home) or to pay off a mortgage loan. The same guaranteed return and profit sharing will continue to apply to the entire group insurance benefit amount, including the cash advance.
