Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start planning?

Five to seven years before the planned phase-out. After that, the most effective measures—such as staggered purchases—will no longer be in place.

An annuity or a lump sum—which is better?

That depends on taxes when you receive the benefits, your health status, your partner's health insurance coverage, and your other assets. There is no one-size-fits-all answer.

How much does retirement planning cost?

The pricing starts at CHF 2,500; for businesses, it starts at CHF 5,500, excluding VAT. You will receive an estimate in advance.
