Overview of terms

*Minimum CHF 50 p.a., debited annually on 31.12. or when the retirement account is closed.  Calculations are based on the fund value on the 25th of each month. Clients domiciled in Switzerland or the Principality of Liechtenstein also have to pay value added tax.

Invest in funds

In addition to the vested benefits account with a fixed interest rate, you can also invest some or all of your vested benefits in retirement funds. 

 

Which solution best fits your needs depends largely on how long your savings can remain invested. 

  • Are you planning to change job or take an extended break? A vested benefits account is suitable if you withdraw your vested benefits again within four years. 
  • For longer-term savings goals, putting your vested benefits in a retirement fund is an attractive alternative. The basic investment principle is: the longer you can leave your money invested, the higher your prospects of return.
