Let’s get your Pillar 3 retirement savings started

REWARDING

Helping you achieve your life goals

Do you dream of becoming a homeowner or starting your own business? Are you hoping to retire with peace of mind?

Our personal retirement accounts are designed to help you achieve these and other long-term goals. Not only will you build up an additional nest egg for retirement, but you can also tap into your savings to finance major life projects like buying your own home, paying down your mortgage loan, or starting a business.

Want to boost your retirement savings? With our Portfolio 3 account, you can earn a higher potential return depending on your time horizon and risk profile.

A GOOD DEAL

Save toward retirement, save on taxes

Every year, you can deduct from your taxable income any Pillar 3 payments you make, up to the maximum amount.

For example, if you’re unmarried, have no children, live in Lausanne, and have taxable income of CHF 60,000 per year, you can save CHF 1,782 on your taxes each year.
