Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellants incurred liability under Art. 52 BVG by approving unsecured employer loans.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Even where the investment limits for employer investments were formally respected, the general duty of care under Art. 71 BVG required a real assessment of creditworthiness; the employer's financial situation did not justify the loans.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that employer investments remain subject to the general safety duty. The debtor's weak financial position, dependence on the success of risky projects, and lack of reliable security meant that the foundation's assets were endangered. The loans would not have been granted to a third party in the same circumstances.
