A firend of mine (40 yrs) is very confused about his pension planning. He has been working for a number of different international firms in the UK and now he has been here for a number of years. He has no idea what he should be doing in terms of my pension planning for retirement. As he had gaps in employment, he will probably need to make additional contributions but has no idea how much and for how long. Also if he stays in Switzerland until retirement age, how much can he expect to receive at retirement as a % of his salary? How can he find out what are the best pension plans and what is the best way to plan for retirement?

Also what about the state pensions that he should be getting from the UK and Swiss governements? Are there any advisors in Zurich who can help? Any websiters or links, books? Please help? Thanks.
