At its last meeting of the year in December, the Foundation Board decided to remunerate the retirement savings for the past year at a rate of 4.00%.
Hence, this rate is 2.75 percentage points higher than the minimum BVG interest rate of 1.25%.
The rate of remuneration is determined not only on the basis of the performance achieved, which is very satisfactory to date, but also considering the coverage ratio, estimated at around 113%.
For the first time, bonus pensions are also conceded to some of the pension recipients. The calculation is done individually, taking into account the guaranteed remuneration at the time of retirement, the inflation suffered up to that point and the remuneration granted to active insured persons.

The Foundation Board approved the 2022 Annual Report on 25.05.2023.
The 2022 has been a particularly challenging year for all players in the pension sector. The financial situation of pension institutions has deteriorated due to the persistent turbulence on the financial markets. Despite the general difficulties, the Fondazione Ticinese per il secondo pilastro was able to contain the losses, managing once again to distinguish itself for its solidity and resilience.
The global coverage ratio of 106.11% (as of 31.12.2022), although slightly decreasing compared to 109.44% of the previous year, attests to the financial solidity of FTP.
The growth phase for the foundation also continued in 2022, with a positive evolution both in terms of active insured persons (+8%) as well as the balance sheet sum, which exceeded CHF 230 million for the first time. In particular, the integration of all the activities of the Proedil pension foundation, an important local entity which has decided to join forces with FTP, was successfully completed.
At the end of 2022, 248 employers were affiliated with FTP, for a total of 2'422 active insured persons.
You will be able to find the 2022 annual report with all the details in the "Accounts" section of our website.
