Wealth management and unemployment benefits

What is wealth management?

You have the possibility to have a business activity in the form of asset management. Before we consider it to be asset management, one of the following conditions must be met:

• If you have rental income from renting out real estate and you have no other work related to the rental yourself.
• If you passively own a business and you have no personal work in the business.
• If you own a leased business.
• If you manage your own assets - including buying and selling shares, stocks, bonds or similar securities.
• If you do not have personal work related to professional activity - or to a very limited extent (limited extent means a maximum of five hours per month).

Asset management and offsetting your unemployment benefits

If you don't use more than five hours each month, they won't be deducted and therefore won't affect your unemployment benefits.

If you spend more than five hours working each month, this is not considered asset management. Instead, it will be considered either self-employment or leisure work.
