The 2024 financial year at a glance

2024: a year of transformation and consolidation. On the eve of the 2nd pillar’s 40th anniversary, 2024 marked a major milestone for Fondation Collective Groupe Mutuel, with the transformation of the foundation into an open platform, bringing together several independent entities, and the introduction of innovative pension solutions.

In this context, Groupe Mutuel Prévoyance-GMP has adopted a new organisational structure as a member of Fondation Collective Groupe Mutuel. With 2,919 affiliated companies and 29,840 insureds who paid contributions during the past financial year, GMP is the largest entity. The growth in turnover (+6.2%) and the increase in the balance sheet total (more than CHF 3 billion) bear witness to the fact that it is a recognised pension solution.

The past year can also be described as “remarkable” in financial terms. Investment activities generated a return of 7.8%, which allowed a significant proportion of the profits to be distributed to insured members and at the same time strengthened financial security. GMP’s coverage ratio was 114.1%.

High-performance IT now available to insured employees

At the beginning of 2024, a new IT application for pension management was made available to internal managers, customers and brokers. From July 2024, insured members were also able to connect to the portal and access all the information relating to their pension and retirement account in real time.

Sustainable and responsible investments

New interest allocation method

On 1 January 2024, insured employees received the LPP/BVG rate of 1.25%, to which was added the 0.75% share of the previous year’s result, for contracts in force during the previous year. At 31 December 2024, the pension fund committee decided to add 1.25% as a distribution of the result for the year 2024. As a result, insured persons received a maximum rate of 3.25% in 2024. The policy of distributing high interest rates has therefore been upheld year after year.

From 2025, the interest allocation method will change. From now on, the minimum LPP/BVG rate will be applied during the financial year, and the surplus will be allocated in December, based on the result for the ongoing financial year. This method corresponds to current market practice and provides greater clarity for insured members.

ESG - Sustainable and responsible investment

In 2024, we continued and strengthened our measures for positioning assets from an ESG perspective. The annual audit by Conser - ESG verifier SA gave GMP’s portfolio an A- rating, with the benchmark remaining at B+.

Historically, the rating has fluctuated between A- and A, as the distribution of ESG consensus in the portfolio is close to the thresholds that tip the final assessment. The proportion of issuers with a positive consensus has increased to 88% (86% in 2023).
