Save with CONVITAsave
With the CONVITAsave pension provision, you pay into a pillar 3a tied pension scheme. By doing so, you invest money for your retirement while simultaneously benefiting from tax advantages.
When it comes to your pension provision, it makes sense to start setting aside money for your retirement today.
Since the premiums you pay in are fully tax-deductible (up to the statutory maximum), you will save tax every year.
Thanks to the flexible savings component, you can either start small and raise your contributions in line with your income or pay in the statutory maximum from the outset – in accordance with your financial possibilities.
You decide whether and when you want to increase or decrease the savings premiums.
The statutory pillar 3a maximum may change multiple times during the term of your CONVITA policy. If you choose indexed premiums, your premium will automatically be adjusted in line with the new maximum. That way, you get the most out of your savings capital.
With the additional, optional premium waiver module, you are exempted from premium payments in the event of earning incapacity due to illness or accident. If you become incapable of undertaking gainful activity, CONCORDIA will continue paying the agreed premiums for you and you will still reach your savings target.
Minimum contract term: 10 years (otherwise in accordance with BVV/OPP 3).
Payout upon expiry of the insurance at the value of the fund units on the reference date. Payout of 101% of the savings capital in the event of death due to illness or accident.
With CONVITAsave, you get to choose!
Choose between three different funds with different risk profiles and benefit from their development potential.
You can change to one of the other funds in the range offered free of charge at any time during the contract term.

Frequently asked questions about saving with pillar 3 and CONVITAsave:
-
Why should I invest in a pillar 3 policy – for example CONVITAsave?
You can use pillar 3a to make up pension shortfalls in your first and second pillar coverage (AHV/AVS/OASI and occupational pension fund). The goal is to invest your savings capital profitably while you are undertaking gainful activity and thus make financial provision for your retirement – potentially also by purchasing private property. This will enable you to enjoy financial security in your retirement. -
What is a pension shortfall?
To maintain your standard of living, you should aim to have about 80% of your current income in retirement. If your pension is expected to be lower than that, you probably have a pension shortfall. The ideal way to make up such shortfalls and maintain the same standard of living after retirement is with a pillar 3a account or policy. -
How do pension shortfalls arise?
- Missing contribution years: due to maternity, a period of study or travel, or because of time spent working abroad.
- Divorce: if the two spouses have different pension assets, one of them can suffer a loss of capital in the event they get divorced. Even a prenuptial agreement will not prevent this. The contributions paid in during the marriage are always distributed evenly between the two spouses.
- Early retirement: when employees take early retirement, both they themselves and their employers pay fewer contributions into pillars 1 and 2, leading to a reduction in the annual pension. Both interest and compound interest are also missing for this period.
- Government reduction in the conversion rate: the conversion rate is used to calculate the annual pension from the accumulated pension assets. If it falls, you receive a lower pension for the same amount of contributions.
-
How can I make up a pension shortfall?
One way to do so is to pay into a private pension scheme. This is where CONVITAsave comes in. CONVITAsave is a tied pillar 3a scheme with which you can deduct up to CHF 7,056 (from 2023) from your taxable income if you are a member of a pension fund or up to CHF 35,280 if you are self-employed and are not a member of a pension fund. -
Why should I choose CONVITAsave?
Pillar 3a enables disciplined saving with funds. You can decide flexibly according to your situation how high your savings premiums should be (up to the statutory maximum). During the term of the contract, contributions do not have to be taxed as assets. -
Why is an investment in CONVITAsave interesting from a tax perspective?
You can deduct the premiums you pay in from your taxable income. -
Why does CONCORDIA offer three different funds for CONVITAsave?
Because this gives you a choice of different risk profiles. You decide whether you would like to accept low, moderate or significant fluctuations in value and benefit from the associated return potential. You can change to one of the other funds in the range offered free of charge at any time during the contract term.
