What is a vested benefits account?


A vested benefits account is a safe place for your pension savings after you leave your employer. It makes sure your wealth stays protected and continues to grow until you decide your next step.

Our independent advice makes the process simple – helping you find lower fees, pay fewer taxes, and understand exactly how your pension is being managed.

Job Change

A unique opportunity to rethink your pension and split your assets for more flexible investing.

Optimizing your tax situation – whether you’re a private individual or an expat.


With FIN, your pension assets are transferred and invested optimally, with no gaps and maximum tax advantages. You get a clear strategy that fits your goals, so no Swiss Franc goes to waste.



Many pension funds pass on investment returns to their members reluctantly, leaving employees with low interest rates. Since vested benefits often sit untouched for years, a job change is the perfect chance to explore better options and invest your capital for greater growth.

Questions still lingering?
We’re here with the answers you need.

Here’s what people often want to know before getting started with FIN.

What are the tax impacts when moving abroad with my vested benefits account?

The key is the double taxation agreement between Switzerland and your new country. We check which country has the right to tax your benefits and set up the best strategy.

How high are the taxes in Switzerland on vested benefits accounts?

Income like interest and dividends are tax-free. No wealth tax applies.

How much tax do I pay when withdrawing capital in Switzerland?

Depending on the amount and your location, between 4% and 15%.

Can I make additional tax-deductible payments into my vested benefits account?

No, unfortunately that’s not legally allowed.

How do I transfer my pension fund money to a vested benefits account?

Open an account, inform your last pension fund, and organise the transfer easily with the official form.

When does an investment make sense?

It depends on your financial and personal situation. Generally, if you can do without the money and don’t need a withdrawal, check your investment horizon, risk profile, and your new pension fund.

When does an investment not make sense?

a. Shortly before retirement or if you plan to withdraw the capital soon.
b. If your new pension fund uses a defined contribution scheme and calculates benefits (death/disability) from your transferred assets.

How safe is my vested benefits capital?

Pension assets (2nd and 3rd pillar) are legally protected (BVV2). Regulatory investment requirements mean your money is always secure.
