2nd Pillar


This is the pension fund you haven when you work in Switzerland and earn above a certain amount. The 2nd Pillar protects against risks such as disability, pension for surviving dependents, pension for old age and other pensions. 

In addition, the 2nd Pillar can be used to optimize certain projects (home ownership, self-employment, leaving Switzerland) for tax purposes.

We can help you understand this product and show you what your pensions look like and what optimization opportunities you have. 



3rd Pillar

In the third pillar, the investments are in your name and this provision is voluntary. It is used for old-age provision, risk protection or simply to optimize taxes.

There are many products to choose from, not every product will optimize taxes and not every product will be suitable for you. You can save for old age with an account or invest the money in an investment. It is possible to insure against risks such as death or disability in order not to get into financial difficulties. There are contracts with a term and those without running indicators. Contracts with a fix term can sometimes cause a loss if the payments are not made till the end of the contract.

Even with a third pillar, it makes sense to consider before buying whether this is the right product and or whether you need several different products. Please note that you have to pay taxes when withdrawing from the 3rd pillar. It therefore makes sense to optimize taxes for the 3rd pillar.
The more savings are in a third pillar, the higher will be the tax rate. Von Ehrenberg AG can try to optimize this for you.

If you leave Switzerland, it hardly makes sense to pay into the third pillar, as the payment cannot be deducted from your taxable income. However, as soon as you receive the money, the amount will be taxed. Thus, the third pillar can also generate disadvantages.

von Ehrenberg AG is specialised to guide you and show you the different products form Banks and Insurances. If an advise in relation to an insurance or bank products is needed, von Ehrenberg AG is able to organise a specialist form the bank or insurance which will join the meeting.
