Cases where the product Zurich Invest Vested Benefits might be right for you

  • You become self-employed, which means occupational retirement provisions are no longer obligatory
  • You work part-time and your salary is less than the minimum insurable earnings
  • You cannot transfer your entire vested benefits to your new employer’s pension plan
  • You are temporarily not paying back an advance from your home owner funding (because you want to buy a new property in the near future)
  • You interrupt gainful employment for the medium- to long-term (e.g. due to a period abroad, vocational training)

Choose from five investment strategies

  • Your provision capital is invested worldwide in selected stocks, bonds and money market papers
  • Choose from five investment strategies according to your risk tolerance and investment horizon; the strategies mainly vary in terms of their equity share
  • Your potential returns are therefore higher than for an account with a fixed interest rate
  • You can switch the investment strategy of your Zurich Invest Vested Benefits once a year at no extra charge

You can draw your vested benefits in the following cases

Your Zurich Invest Vested Benefits custody account balance serves to maintain your occupational retirement provisions as defined by legislation. This means that you can only use it for the following reasons before reaching the statutory retirement age:

  • You transfer your balance to a pension fund or another vested benefits account
  • You draw a full disability pension from the Swiss Federal Disability Insurance
  • You become self-employed and are not legally required to take part in an occupational retirement plan
  • You purchase residential property for your own use
  • You emigrate permanently from Switzerland (subject to cash payment limitation on departing for certain European countries)

Make your retirement provision a priority!

The money from the 2nd pillar, the pension fund, is often the largest component of your income in old age. To ensure good protection, each and every one of us should know as precisely as possible how much money will flow from which pillar. This enables us to plan for the future and close any gaps.
