Living in Saint-Brais and thinking about pillar 3a? A smart move: tied pension 3a is the most tax-efficient way to save in Switzerland. Contributions up to the annual maximum lower your taxable income, while the capital builds up for retirement, home ownership or a permanent move abroad.

Pillar 3a in Saint-Brais: 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 Saint-Brais, 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 to 30 years, differences in fees and returns add up to five-figure amounts. So compare the type of solution (safe account vs. funds), the total costs and the flexibility (transfer, contribution rhythm). The effective tax saving depends on your marginal tax rate — that is, on your income, the canton of Jura and your municipality. On withdrawal the capital is taxed separately at a reduced rate; several 3a accounts allow staggered withdrawals.
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.
