Key legal question
Whether the pension fund's regulation allowing proportional reduction of mandatory and extra-mandatory retirement assets upon partial capital withdrawal violates federal law.
Extracted holding
No. In an umbrella pension fund, the reglement may provide that a capital withdrawal reduces both the mandatory and extra-mandatory portions in proportion to their share of total retirement assets.
Extracted reasoning
The fund operated a single reglemented occupational pension scheme with a shadow accounting for BVG minimum compliance. The reglemented benefits exceeded the BVG minimum, and federal law guarantees only the minimum standard, not uniform treatment across all pension institutions.
