Duty to inform according to Art. 45 VAG

Initial situation

As an insurance broker, we have been subject to state supervision since January 1, 2006. This is based on the Insurance Supervision Act (ISA) and contains, among other things, precisely defined information obligations.

This document contains the information to be declared according to VAG 45. It is also published on our Internet platform, along with much other information.

Identity and registration

Offer

Our offering for mandate clients covers all lines of insurance with the exception of reinsurance.

Contractual relationships with insurance companies

We cooperate with all well-known insurance companies as well as selected collective foundations and financial institutions. There are no production obligations and no exclusive contracts. We are therefore unbound and independent in our choice of provider.

Business model

We are usually compensated by so-called brokerage fees from insurers and pension funds. These are pro rata remunerations as a percentage of the premiums paid. In the area of life and health insurance, we receive acquisition commissions, and in the investment business (pension accounts 3a as well as vested benefits accounts and mortgages) we receive commissions.
