Step 1: What Does My Personal Pension Situation Look Like?
Changes inevitably have an impact on your pension. Therefore, review your pension situation regularly to ensure that you have optimum coverage.
Planning Ahead for All of Life's Eventualities
Pension provision means more than saving for retirement. It is also possible to cover yourself against risks and unforeseen circumstances. Here are some examples:
- Interruption of gainful employment due to unemployment or a stay abroad
- A serious illness that may result in incapacity for work
- Disability on the part of your partner
- Relocation to a domicile abroad
- Attainment of retirement age
- Death of your spouse or partner
The Swiss legal system provides for protection against such risks on a compulsory and voluntary basis.
The Swiss Pension System
Our pension system is based on three pillars. Ideally, these pillars complement each other to provide a comprehensive pension solution that meets your personal needs.
