Altersvorsorgedepot at Signal Iduna from 2027
Signal Iduna writes that it is working on suitable products. There is nothing more there.
What is known so far
On 7 September 2026 the provider republished its guide page, and a day later a second page for the self-employed was added. Both stay with the familiar formulation that it is working on suitable products. That is not a commitment.
On its own guide page of 7 August 2026 Signal Iduna writes that it is already working hard on the suitable products. There is nothing more. For a commitment that is not enough for us; for the status “in preparation” it is.
Which of the three statutory product types the provider will launch itself stays open. A retirement contract with a guarantee, an Altersvorsorgedepot without one and a standard depot are legally different things, and Signal Iduna commits to none of them. On its own role there is nothing.
A mix-up suggests itself here. HANSAINVEST, the group's fund house, has announced a white-label solution of its own and is listed separately in the monitor, because that is a different group company in a different role. Conflate the two and an infrastructure solution for intermediaries turns into a retail product from the insurer.
On 20 August 2026 the guide page carries a new publication date. Nothing has changed in what it says. Working on suitable products has not become a commitment.
On 31 August 2026 the provider republished the page and has since been advertising it via a banner across the whole website. The wording stays cautious: it is working on the suitable products so that customers can start from 1 January. That is not a commitment, so the entry stays at preparation.
The guide page was redated to 8 October 2026 and has grown considerably. New are a subsidy comparison calculator, Riester against the AV-Depot, on an address of its own, an overview of the three statutory product types and two further guides, for the self-employed and for families. None of that changes the commitment sentence: the provider says it is „bereits fleißig an den passenden Produkten“ working, and nothing more is there. What is described is the law, not a product of its own. Read at the source on 12 October 2026.
