Why is retirement planning more than just retirement provision?

Forward-looking retirement planning and a targeted investment strategy give you financial, family and personal freedom of action. The aim is to plan today so that you can make informed decisions tomorrow.

The right time to start planning

The best time to save for retirement is well before you retire. Plan early and protect yourself:

  • Greater flexibility in asset management
  • Tax advantages through targeted planning

Financial retirement planning is closely linked to your personal goals. Point Capital develops solutions that are precisely tailored to your ideas of freedom, security and quality of life.

Common mistakes in retirement planning and how to avoid them

Point Capital identifies critical weak points at an early stage. Our services help you avoid expensive mistakes.

Pension gaps not recognized

Unclear income histories, incomplete pension fund data or missing contribution years generally lead to financial gaps in old age.

Tax aspects not taken into account

Without targeted planning, progression peaks are possible with capital withdrawals or pension income.

No coordination of the various precautionary measures

Inefficiencies and unnecessary risks arise when pillar 3a, pension fund and private investments are not coordinated.

Lack of liquidity planning for the first years of retirement

Financial stability immediately after retirement is at risk if there are delayed payouts and high fixed costs at the same time.

  • Coordination of all precautionary options
  • independent, forward-looking solutions

FAQ on retirement planning

When should you start planning for retirement?

Start planning your retirement as early as possible, but no later than the age of 50. The scope for asset accumulation, tax optimization and individual planning is greater if you start earlier. Private pension solutions such as pillar 3a or real estate investments are also relevant and can be planned for the long term.

What does retirement planning with an independent advisor cost?

Depending on the complexity, the cost at Point Capital is usually between CHF 1,000 and CHF 2,000. Our serious advice includes, among other things, an analysis of the pension situation, comparisons of the various options and tax optimization strategies. The important thing is that the quality of your planning influences your financial security in old age.

What does comprehensive financial retirement planning involve?

Financial retirement planning consists of an analysis of all assets, sources of income and expenses in old age. This also includes taxes, liquidity reserves and withdrawal plans. The aim is to secure your standard of living and use the available funds strategically.

How can you make the most of your pension assets in old age?

You can withdraw your pension assets in the form of a lump sum or pension as required. Professional advice from Point Capital helps you to develop payout strategies that remain flexible for you and avoid unnecessary tax burdens. Staggering withdrawals is also a tried and tested method.

What makes more sense: a pension or a lump-sum withdrawal?

Whether a pension or a lump-sum withdrawal makes more sense depends largely on your personal situation and your needs. A pension offers lifelong, predictable income and reduces the longevity risk. A lump-sum withdrawal creates more flexibility and opportunities for investment, but requires more personal responsibility. Point Capital analyzes your individual starting position, goals and preferences and makes a tailored recommendation based on this – a combination of both options may also be possible and sensible under certain circumstances.

What are the benefits of wealth planning for retirement?

Retirement planning gives you an overview of your financial situation in old age and ensures that you remain liquid in the long term. Risks can be minimized and individual life goals can be better implemented. Planning is particularly important in phases such as early retirement or when care is required.
