Vested benefits solutions

Preserve your pension assets, whichever the situation.

 

VESTED BENEFITS SOLUTIONS

With our vested benefits solutions your pension assets from the 2nd pillar (BVG) can be preserved if gainful employment in Switzerland is interrupted due to a career change.

What are vested benefits?

The need for vested benefits arises when employment in Switzerland is interrupted before an insured event occurs, namely old age, death or disability. This can cause gaps in pension coverage and limit the transfer of funds to a new pension fund.

Together with PensExpert AG, a leading pension provider, we offer vested benefits solutions tailored to the specific needs of insurees, allowing them to preserve occupational pension assets in the event employement changes. Our solutions allow insurees to flexibly invest the vested benefits assets with varied active and passive investment strategies.

When to open a vested benefits acount?

Opening a vested benefits account can be considered when:

  • Becoming self-employed
  • Leaving a job without having a new employer
  • Taking a career break or a stay abroad
  • Going on maternity leave

During these important milestones, our vested benefits solutions can help preserve your pension assets and bring you peace of mind.

Advantages

The advantages of a vested benefits account include:

  • Full participation in capital market performance, with transparency around investments and costs
  • Individual investment strategies allowing for optimal coordination with private asset investments
  • Continuation of selected investment strategy upon payout of available assets, without having to realise the accumulated gains or losses
  • The possibility of obtaining a mortgage through your vested benefits account
