The foundation aims to provide for the employees of Swissavant and their dependents against the economic consequences of old age, disability and death, as well as to support the beneficiary or their dependents in cases of need such as illness, accident, disability and unemployment. The foundation may also be joined by the personnel of companies economically or financially closely linked to Swissavant, provided that the necessary funds are made available to the foundation and the rights of the existing beneficiaries are not impaired. The purpose of the foundation can be fulfilled: a) through an autonomous pension fund, if the technical insurance requirements are met, b) through insurance contracts, where the foundation must be the policyholder and beneficiary, c) through a retirement savings plan, possibly with supplementary risk insurance. The foundation may also provide benefits to other tax-exempt employee benefit institutions established for the benefit of the beneficiaries to finance contributions and insurance premiums.
