Our history
Today's VEDRA Pensions arose from an extraordinary opportunity that our founders seized in 2016.
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.
