The foundation aims to provide occupational pension benefits within the framework of the BVG and its implementing provisions for employees in the healthcare and social services sector, whose employers are affiliated with the pension foundation through a written accession agreement, as well as for their dependents and beneficiaries against the economic consequences of old age, death, and disability. The foundation may provide additional benefits beyond the statutory minimum requirements. The foundation board issues a regulation governing the benefits, organization, administration, and financing, as well as the supervision of the foundation. It defines the relationship with employers, insured persons, and beneficiaries in the regulation. The regulation may be amended by the foundation board, provided that the acquired rights of the beneficiaries are preserved. The regulation and its amendments must be submitted to the supervisory authority. To achieve its purpose, the foundation may conclude insurance contracts or enter into existing contracts, acting as the policyholder or beneficiary.
