Pension contracts
In Germany, the German Retirement Assets Act (AVmG) also allows capital management companies to offer the conclusion of pension contracts. For this purpose, Section 1, Paragraph 6 of the KAGG was amended and some regulatory provisions were incorporated. A separate Retirement Provision Contracts Certification Act (AltZertG) was enacted in 2001; the certification body for providers is the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). – See Ablauffonds, Altersvermögensgesetz, Altersquotient, balance sheet, holistic, nominal value guarantee, pension fund, Pensionsfonds-Richtlinie, Rabbi Trust, pension, funded, tontine, certification. – Cf.
