High security for your capital

However, neither can they stay with your previous pension fund. Your pillar 2 retirement savings are parked safely in a vested benefits account or vested benefits custody account.

  • Your pension fund assets are preserved, for example during parental leave, further training, a stay abroad or a period of unemployment.
  • Higher potential returns when you invest in UBS Vitainvest Investment Funds.
  • Monies from pillar 2 can be used to finance owner-occupied property.
