Bus/Financial - Insurance
Flemish term or phrase: tweede pijlerproducten
Onder deze hoofding geeft u alle tweede pijlerproducten weer, zoals groepsverzekeringen, bedrijfsleidersverzekeringen, bijdragen aan het vrij aanvullend pensioen voor zelfstandigen (VAP of APZ), voorzorgskas voor geneesheren of apothekers (VKG of VKA).

I have found derde pijlerproducten as well - but I don't know if this has any very specific meaning.

company pensions
Explanation:

The second level consists of pension products organised at company level, i.e. company pensions. The third level consists of pension products aimed at individuals, i.e. private pensions.

'Occupational pensions' is a viable alternative; see http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/wbs/research/wfri/policy/w...
