Cash flow

BVK generated cash flow of CHF 65 million in 2022 (2021: CHF 238 million). Cash flow is the difference between fund inflows (contributions, deposits and purchases) and outflows (pension and lump-sum payments). From an operational viewpoint, the objective is to achieve positive cash flow. This also has the advantage that a pension fund will not be forced for liquidity reasons to sell securities during a downturn on the financial markets.

In 2022, cash flow consisted of the following:

Description Amount in CHF million
Employee and employer contributions 1'606
Deposits (personal purchases, vested benefits brought in on joining, etc.) 1'037
Restructuring contributions by employer 0
Pension benefits -1'223
Lump-sum payments (retirement, death, advance withdrawal to promote home ownership, divorce) -940
Vested benefits paid out on leaving -415
