Spouses Pension

Hello everyone,

I wonder if anyone can help or point me in the correct direction. My wife and I have been in Switzerland for almost two years with me working, but my wife not.

We currently have no plans to leave, however, after five years my wife can no longer pay into her UK private pension. We are keen to keep contributing towards both our retirements. Whilst I contribute to the scheme at work we are very unclear on what options are available to my wife (it seems like the second tier is linked to earnings for example).

Does anyone know what options are available or know of any web links that my enlighten us before we go waltzing of to be bamboozled by UBS or Credit Suisse??

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Spouses Pension

you might find 3rd pillar is an option to you. You might also find that the Client Advisors are very helpful and knowledgeable and are not out to rip you off
