Improvements to the Pension Regulations as of 1 January 2026

The Board of Trustees of the C&A Group Pension Fund decided at its meeting on 11 December 2025 to amend the pension regulations and pension plans with effect from 1 January 2026.

The most important change concerns the provision regarding death benefits:
In the event of death, in addition to the death benefit, the refund of voluntary contributions (purchases) to the retirement savings account will now be guaranteed. This ensures that any voluntary contributions you have made to the Pension Fund will be taken into account as part of the death benefit.

The full provisions can be found in the pension regulations under Art. 26 and in the pension plan under Art. 11 “Death Benefit”.
