Thomas Suter derives energy from working with his hands. That’s why he makes as much time as possible for his hobby: after work and at the weekend, he creates and restores furniture in his personal workshop – or does odd jobs in his property. Fourteen years ago, Thomas bought a house built in 1870. He renovated it and moved in with his family.
Property – a secure investment for Thomas Suter
Thomas sees real estate as more than just a roof over his head. It’s an investment offering tangible and secure value. Residential property is therefore an important component of the pension plan he has organised for his family. He has bought other apartments and houses in the past few years, including one for his daughter – an advancement on her inheritance once she is ready to move out.
Once his three children – Justine, Marie and Antoine – have flown the nest, Thomas plans to spend more time with his wife. He wants to travel and enjoy life. At the same time, Thomas wants his children to stay nearby. Ideally, he would leave his properties to them for their future provisions.
A 3a pension solution completes the private provisions of Thomas and his wife. He receives regular advice from Swiss Life to ensure he is ready to retire early when he reaches 58.
