The Swiss Life starter account is ideal if you want a savings plan. You pay in money from a variety of sources and invest regularly in your portfolio via a standing order. When prices are low, you get more units for your money, and when prices rise, you get fewer. Over time, this will help average out the purchase price of the units.

Yes, you will remain flexible: the money you invest is in principle available.

To make a withdrawal, you can log in to the customer portal and contact your advisor. We will then sell your fund units as quickly as possible and pay the amount into your account within a few days. You remain in control of your money.
