Pension Planning Learning Path: Module 1 of 5

When they retire, most women in Switzerland have significantly less retirement capital available to them than men. Their pension fund capital, i.e. assets from the 2nd pillar, can even be just under half that of men.

More than half of women work part-time and/or have a lower average income than men. They are also affected by losses of earnings due to maternity or training breaks. But this is not the only reason for lower AHV and pension fund pensions. The UBS Investor Watch study showed that 7 out of 10 women delegate long-term financial decisions and do not actively consider what their standard of living should be like in retirement.

It’s never too early and never too late to deal with your own pension situation. With the Women’s Wealth Academy learning modules, we help you become aware of your personal finances.
