Key points at a glance
This page is for residents of Henniez who want to understand, compare or open a pillar 3a — Switzerland's most tax-efficient private pension. Every contribution (up to the annual maximum) reduces your taxable income, and the capital grows for retirement, buying a home or leaving the country.
In Henniez (postal code 1525), a municipality of roughly 346 residents in the canton of Vaud, two choices matter most over time: the size of your annual contribution (ideally the maximum) and the right provider — a 3a savings account, a 3a with securities (more return potential) or a 3a insurance policy. Fees and returns vary widely; the essentials and a free comparison follow below. Comparing several places to live (Valbroye (1 km), Surpierre (2 km), Villarzel (3 km))? The 3a maximum is set federally — only your municipal tax rate changes the effective saving.

Pillar 3a in Henniez: compare and contribute wisely
With pillar 3a you save twice over: contributions up to the maximum immediately lower your tax bill, and the balance grows long term for retirement. What matters in Henniez is the size of the contribution and the choice of provider — between a safe 3a account, a return-oriented securities solution and a 3a insurance policy, the gap in cost and yield is wide.
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 Vaud 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.
