Good stock market year 2021 enables Suva investment performance of 7.5 percent
Suva achieved an investment performance of 7.5 percent in 2021. The largest contribution came from investments in real estate and real estate funds.
Suva can look back on a solid investment performance of 7.5 percent in 2021. The average of the last few years is 5.2 percent. This was due to a good stock market environment. Direct investments in real estate and investments in real estate funds also contributed significantly to the good results, according to a Suva statement. Suva's investment assets increased by CHF 3.9 billion from CHF 55.7 billion to CHF 59.9 billion in 2021. The funds are earmarked for specific purposes and also cover the legally required reserves for pensions, future medical costs and daily allowances, as well as other statutory insurance benefits from accidents and occupational diseases. If the reserves exceed the maximum levels provided for, the surplus will be refunded to the insured in the form of lower premiums.
The Suva Council will decide on the appropriation of the annual results and on the premium tariffs for 2023 on Friday, June 10, 2022.
