Our history

VEDRA Pensions of today was born from a unique opportunity seized by our founders in 2016. At the time, the British Pension Insurance Corporation (PIC) approached the VEDRA founders' family office, offering the chance to acquire a company without current operations from the storied AEG Telefunken Nachrichtentechnik (ANT) - an opportunity they boldly embraced.

At the time, this company was facing significant challenges: unresolved tax issues, ongoing tax audits, suspended pension increases and past investments losses weighing on its equity. These difficulties matched the expertise of founder Christian Petersmann, a ‘special situations’ expert with a proven track record of tackling complex cases.

Through clear vision, expertise, and dedication, the team stabilized the company, positioned it for future success, and restored the pensioners' confidence. Nearly a decade later, this pivotal acquisition serves as an inspiration for the innovative development of the German pension buy-out market.

The fact that we, once industry outsiders, are now recognized as pioneers in pension risk transfer continues to inspire us every day. VEDRA Pensions’ vision is clear: we aim to be the ‘Home of Pensions’ - the leading destination for innovative, reliable and sustainable solutions in the transfer and long-term security of pension liabilities in Germany.

VEDRA Pensions - your trusted partner for a stable future.
