This online course provides an in-depth overview of how your pension fund is structured and how it works as well as the options open to you.
You will learn how you can optimise your pillar 2 savings, how to plan for drawing your retirement benefits and how to choose between an annuity and a lump sum. The course will guide you through the key decisions, from planning ahead for your retirement to drawing your retirement benefits.
Please note: These courses do not cover pillar 3, asset management or tax and inheritance law.
This online course teaches you about the benefits and rules of the OASI old-age pension. You can take the course at any age, but the best time is when you have already determined your retirement date or are set to do so in the foreseeable future.
The financial situation in your household will be fundamentally transformed when you leave gainful employment. The Federal Compensation Office will give you a straightforward and practically oriented insight into the most important aspects of the OASI old-age pension.
