FAQ

How can I invest my pension savings with the vested benefits custody account?

The UBS Vested Benefits Account is the ideal complement to the vested benefits account. By investing your pension fund money in Vitainvest investment funds, you benefit from higher earnings potential in the long run. With the detailed annual wealth disclosure, you can keep an overview over your retirement savings.

Free choice between different Vitainvest investment funds
Your fund shares will be kept safe in the vested benefits custody account. You are free to decide how much you want to invest in one or several of the eleven Vitainvest Investment Funds. With an Investment plan UBS Vested Benefits Account, you can regularly invest a fixed amount from your UBS Vested Benefits Account in Vitainvest investment funds.

Good to know: Fund shares in pillar 2 normally have to be sold as soon as you've reached AHV retirement age. This is not the case with Vitainvest investment funds. You can transfer these into your free assets when you retire. This way you remain flexible in terms of when to sell the shares later.
