Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the foundation could lawfully set the 2002 interest credit on insured savings accounts to zero to avoid a foreseeable deficit.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The measure was permissible as a preventive and proportionate asset-financing step to preserve the foundation's ability to meet its obligations.
Extrahierte Begründung
The duty under Art. 65(1) LPP to guarantee fulfillment of obligations prevails over the regulatory interest clause when the latter would create or worsen a deficit. Before the 2005 amendments, the law did not yet require a regulatory basis for such deficit-avoiding measures, and the chosen zero-interest method remained within minimum LPP requirements.
