Personal retirement savings

Anyone who is gainfully employed in Switzerland and whose income is subject to Swiss social-security contributions can invest in personal retirement savings plans (known as pillar 3a).

The 01 March 2018

We’ve developed our personal retirement savings plans in partnership with the Liberty Foundation. With these plans, you can build up your retirement savings while benefiting from considerable tax advantages. And you’re the one who determines how your assets are invested. It’s the perfect complement to social security and your occupational pension plan.

Attractive tax benefits

The maximum tax-deductible contribution to a personal retirement savings plan is 6,883 Swiss francs for those who are gainfully employed and a member of an occupational pension fund. People who work but do not have an occupational pension plan can make a tax-deductible contribution of up to 20% of their income or 34,416 Swiss francs, whichever is lower (2021 figures). Assets held in personal retirement savings plans are not subject to wealth tax, and any income earned is tax-free.

Investment strategies

Our investment strategies have a large equity weighting and are subject to strict regulations under Swiss occupational pension law.
