Out­line of a pen­sion scheme to meet the needs of to­day’s grand­chil­dren – or how the youth wings of po­lit­i­cal par­ties want to re­solve the re­form dead­lock among the old­er gen­er­a­tions.

Sup­ple­men­tary hos­pi­tal in­sur­ance al­lows  pri­vate  in­sur­ers  to  de­vel­op  prod­ucts and ser­vices tai­lored to meet the needs of the in­sured.  A new billing sys­tem will of­fer greater trans­paren­cy.

From build­ing sur­veys to IT so­lu­tions: SVV So­lu­tion AG of­fers nu­mer­ous ser­vices that would be too cost­ly on a stand-alone ba­sis.

Ci­cero-cer­ti­fied con­sul­tants fol­low reg­u­lar ad­vanced train­ing cours­es to en­sure that they of­fer com­pe­tent ad­vi­so­ry ser­vices.

The SIA is the in­dus­try as­so­ci­a­tion of the Swiss pri­vate in­sur­ance in­dus­try. It rep­re­sents the in­ter­ests of its mem­bers at na­tion­al and in­ter­na­tion­al lev­el.

The need for safe­ty is a fun­da­men­tal hu­man need. The Swiss are a very safe­ty-mind­ed na­tion, spend­ing more mon­ey on in­sur­ance than any oth­er.

Risks that in­di­vid­u­als or cor­po­ra­tions can­not or will not bear them­selves, are be­ing trans­ferred to in­sur­ers which sub­se­quent­ly cov­er even­tu­al loss­es.

The rein­te­gra­tion tool­box sup­plies re­li­able da­ta on the pro­gres­sion of in­ca­pac­i­ties for work fol­low­ing an ill­ness or ac­ci­dent.
