Attractive, affordable investment solutions with convincing long-term returns
In brief
Swiss Life 3a Start offers you a self-determined and flexible way to plan for the future: you can combine your investment freely in securities and on an account. You can therefore combine the security of an interest-bearing account with the higher potential returns that securities offer. As a result, you have the greatest possible flexibility for your contributions. And depending on your needs, you can also add the savings target guarantee protection offered by insurance cover.
Your advantages at a glance
Save on taxes: you can deduct your contributions from your taxable income. The assets are taxed at a reduced rate when they are paid out.
Flexible contributions: there are no fixed contributions – you determine when and how much you want to contribute.
Flexible distribution: you determine what share of your contributions is invested in securities and what share will be credited to your account. You can change this distribution at any time.
Flexible savings target guarantee: depending on your needs, you can add, remove, increase or decrease the savings target guarantee.
Attractive net returns: the Swiss Life 3a Start pension custody account uses investment groups of the Swiss Life Investment Foundation. These are otherwise exclusively reserved for institutional investors and provide a particularly promising net return in comparison.
Stable interest rate: an interest rate of 0.25% currently applies.
