Re: Pillar 2 Pension - Can I hedge FX
While you're still employed you get very little say in how pillar 2 gets invested. It is mostly up to your company and your pension fund to manage it
Once you gave up employment you can transfer the monies into a Freizügigkeitskonto with some more freedom. But I don't think you can convert it to non-CHF currency in these accounts and leave it. You can get money invested in some 100% stock funds though, although it costs an arm and a leg in fees
If you expect payout soon, you could go on the margin at your broker. e.g. IBKR will loan you CHF at 1-1.5%, Go buy what you want and close the negative CHF balance once you receive the payout. You will need of course enough existing assets as a collateral to get the margin..
