Pillar 3a in Grüsch: compare and contribute wisely

Pillar 3a is private, tax-advantaged pension saving: every franc paid in (up to the annual maximum) is deducted from your taxable income, and the capital stays invested until retirement. In Grüsch, two decisions count: how much you pay in — and with whom? A bank account, a securities solution or an insurance policy differ sharply in fees and returns.

Over 20–30 years, costs and returns decide tens of thousands of francs. So check the solution type (account or securities), the fees and the flexibility (transferability, free contributions). How much tax you save is set by your marginal rate — depending on income, the canton of Graubünden and your municipality. Withdrawals attract a reduced special rate; running several 3a accounts lets you stagger withdrawals and optimise further.

Hallmarks of a good 3a solution

Low total costs (management fee plus fund costs / TER).
Equity share suited to your investment horizon until retirement.
Flexible contributions and free transfer to another provider.
Withdrawal planning: several accounts for staggered, tax-efficient withdrawals.
