More about the product

Swiss Life is a leading asset manager with over 150 years of experience in managing customer assets. This valuable expertise benefits you as well.

Our experts structure the fund portfolios with the goal of generating capital returns. In doing so, they use the best-in-class approach. This means that they only consider using the investment funds that are the best in their category.

Together with your advisor, you choose a solution that corresponds to your personal risk-return profile and investment horizon.

Each portfolio includes funds that generate regular capital returns – thanks to dividends as well as interest and rental income.

Your advantages:

  • Capital returns increase the value of your investment.
  • If there is market turbulence, these returns have a stabilising effect.
  • Capital returns are usually subject to income tax. However, with unit-linked life insurance they are tax-exempt if certain conditions are met.

  • You can reinvest the distributions from the fund portfolios or accumulate them in your Comfort deposit.
  • You can reinvest your Comfort deposit fully or partially in the fund portfolio.
  • You can switch among the fund portfolios – at no charge and at any time.

You have the option of putting the distributions from the funds in the Comfort deposit. The interest rate on this balance is based on short-term market rates and is currently 0.15%.

Pillar 3a:

  • All pillar 3a assets, including income, are tax-exempt during the contract term.
  • The capital is taxed on payout, but separately from your other income and at a lower tax rate.
      

Pillar 3b:

  • On expiry of the contract: The payout is exempt from income tax, provided the contract ends after the policyholder turns 60, before the policyholder turns 66 if the contract was concluded with a term of at least ten years and the insured person and the policyholder are the same.
  • During the contract term: only wealth tax is due on the surrender value (at cantonal level only).
  • In the event of death: there is no income tax; inheritance tax may be due depending on the policyholder's canton of residence.

  • You benefit from inheritance and bankruptcy privileges.
  • Your entitlements are always fully protected by the tied assets which Swiss Life is required to set aside by law. These assets are monitored by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
  • In pillar 3b: possibility of a loan as well as free designation of beneficiaries
