Well covered – how to plan for early retirement

Jun 2, 2022.

Many people dream of taking early retirement from an early age. However, early retirement from working life takes careful planning and resolute saving. After all, you want to keep up the standard of living you are used to after retirement. We’ll help you to achieve this goal.

 

Provide for your future with pillar 3a

Retirement provision in Switzerland is based on the so-called 3-pillars system. The first pillar is the AHV, i.e. your state pension. The second pillar is a pension fund, or your occupational pension. Together with the AHV, this covers around 60% of your final salary. Lastly, there’s the voluntary third pillar: a private pension. A distinction is made between qualified provident insurance (pillar 3a) and voluntary provident insurance (pillar 3b). The third pillar is intended to close the pension gaps and maintain your standard of living after retirement. Discover the 3a pension account from Generali here.

You’re doubly protected with a unit-linked life insurance policy. You benefit from higher potential returns, comprehensive risk cover and, of course, tax benefits. Protect yourself and your family with Generali life insurance and benefit from the pension capital for the time following your retirement.
