The coverage ratio in accordance with Art. 44 BVV 2 is the ratio between the net assets available to cover underwriting liabilities at market values (Vv) and the required retirement capital (Vk).
Diversification
Diversification in the area of investments means that by combining several investments or investment categories, the fluctuations of a portfolio can be reduced without a loss of return.

Tactical Asset Allocation
The investment strategy usually defines bandwidths that must be monitored for compliance. Tactical asset allocation represents the possibility of deliberately deviating from the investment strategy within the bandwidths for tactical reasons.
Target / target return
The target return corresponds to the return on assets required to keep the coverage ratio constant. The target return is the return on assets targeted by the pension fund. It is derived from the target return and also takes into account the build-up of the fluctuation reserve.
