Bus/Financial - Insurance / Rente
German term or phrase: Beteiligungsrente
Es geht darum, die vom Arbeitgeber bereitgestellte Grundversorgung durch Eigenbeteiligung zu ergänzen. Gibt es dafür einen feststehenden Begriff im Englischen oder ist "participation pension scheme" vielleicht so akzeptabel.

Danke im Voraus,

Antje

Would this perhaps be anything to do with VW? Most of the references to Beteiligungsrente seem to involve Volkswagen, e.g.
"Die Beschäftigten von VW können ihre Altersvorsorge außerdem durch eine Beteiligungsrente aufbessern. Sie besteht aus den vermögenswirksamen Leistungen, die VW-intern verbucht werden, sowie aus ***freiwilligen Beiträgen der Mitarbeiter***."

Notes to answerer
Asker: This is perfect. My job does not relate to VW but I guess there are other businesses that use these schemes.
