Occupational and private pension in Switzerland

Whether you are an executive, entrepreneur, business owner or physician, occupational and private pension is a cornerstone of your long-term financial security in Switzerland. We help you build a sustainable and tailored long-term pension strategy.

We support you in implementing tailored solutions, whether for non-compulsory occupational pension (1e) plans or for vested benefits and third pillar (3a) solutions. Mirabaud’s ambition is to offer you personalised, flexible and high-performing pension solutions, while optimising your tax situation throughout your professional journey.

Non-compulsory occupational pension 1e

A dedicated solution for executives, business owners and self-employed professionals.

An attractive non-compulsory occupational pension coverage in Switzerland

The 1e pension solution is part of the non-compulsory occupational pension scheme within the Swiss second pillar. This solution allows the portion of salary exceeding CHF 136’080 (in 2025) to be insured through external collective foundations, independent of the foundation managing the basic pension plan.

With the non-compulsory occupational pension (1e) solution, insured members decide how their pension assets are invested in order to optimise returns. They can adjust their investment strategy at any time. This solution is also suitable for buy-ins and tax optimisation.

Mirabaud: your expert partner in occupational pension

Thanks to its Collective Pension Foundation (FCDE), established in 2004, Mirabaud has been supporting the Bank’s executives and partners in managing their pension for over 20 years.

The Bank offers non-compulsory occupational pension solutions for all sectors of activity (self-employed individuals, micro and small businesses, as well as medium-sized and large companies) through leading external collective foundations.

 

Solutions for the medical sector in cooperation with AROMED

Thanks to its cooperation with the Association Romande des Médecins (AROMED), a non-profit association and occupational pension (LPP) foundation, the Collective Pension Foundation (FCDE) offers 1e pension solutions tailored to the needs of physicians and the medical structures of the association.

The Collective Pension Foundation (FCDE) offers insured members a complementary solution to the Smartmed protection provided by AROMED, customised to secure their future, sustainably reduce their tax burden, and grow their capital through high-performing investments.

Vested benefits and third pillar (3a): key elements of private pension provision in Switzerland

In Switzerland, vested benefits correspond to the assets of the second pillar (occupational pension) when insured members leave an employer and do not yet have a new pension fund: these assets are transferred to an account or a policy. The third pillar (3a), on the other hand, is a voluntary retirement savings plan that offers tax advantages and is funded by insured members at their own pace in preparation for retirement.

Mirabaud offers vested benefits and third pillar (3a) solutions through leading external foundations based in Schwyz.

In Switzerland, vested benefits represent an often underestimated opportunity for those who hold them. Originating from pension funds, these assets result from a change of employer, a move abroad, or the cessation of a professional activity. Making the most of them helps secure and optimise one’s financial future.
