³ If ne­ces­sary, the funds may grant ad­vances to one an­oth­er or the Con­fed­er­a­tion may grant ad­vances to either fund or both funds; in­terest on these loans shall be based on nor­mal mar­ket rates.

⁴ Both funds are ex­empt from all dir­ect fed­er­al, can­ton­al and com­mun­al taxes.

⁵ The Fed­er­al Coun­cil shall reg­u­late the de­tails of the two funds; it spe­cifies the basis for cal­cu­lat­ing the con­tri­bu­tions, and defines the prin­ciples of their in­vest­ment policy. It may also am­al­gam­ate the funds.
