    Pillar 2 pension products

    A vested benefits account is where you can deposit funds from your occupational retirement savings if you leave your pension fund temporarily or permanently. For example, this could include a temporary break from work, a switch to self-employment, or a period of residence abroad (provided you remain domiciled in Switzerland). Alternatively, surplus pension fund assets can also be paid into a vested benefits account.
