An additional, private retirement savings plan is important. An AHV/AVS (1st pillar) pension in addition to a BVG/LPP (2nd pillar) pension are unlikely to enable most retirees to maintain their customary standard of living. At the same time, pensions will decline even further due to low interest rates eroding the return on capital even further. Moreover, given rising life expectancy, the return on capital is distributed over an ever-larger number of pensioners. Calculations by the OECD show, that a 22 year-old today will only receive about 45% of their last earned income, instead of the targeted 60%, when they retire. If you want to have sufficient income for your retirement, you must make private provisions and invest into a private third pillar retirement savings plan. In so doing, you can benefit immediately, because you can deduct the contributions paid in from your taxable income *.
