This is how retirement planning advice works

We all have different expectations from life. Our retirement planning advice is oriented entirely towards your personal and financial needs, plans and dreams so we can help you achieve your individual financial goals.

Step 1: Situation and needs analysis based on your goals, requirements and wishes

  • Transparency and trust are the basis of retirement planning advice at PostFinance. In a consultation, we analyse your personal, retirement planning and financial situation. Your financial requirements, along with your plans and dreams for the future, help us to find solutions that match your needs and goals.

    Your situation and needs analysis is based on:

    • Personal information and details of your family/living situation
    • Tax return
    • Any relevant, existing pension documents, such as pension fund statements, life insurance policies, 3a retirement assets, private health insurance or accident insurance policies.

Step 2: Compiling your personal retirement planning analysis

  • We compile your personal retirement planning analysis based on the documents you have provided and the situation and needs analysis we carry out. We focus here on the benefits from your state, occupational and private pensions in the following scenarios:

    • incapacity to work because of illness or accident
    • death from illness or accident
    • retirement

Step 3: Discussing your personal retirement planning analysis

  • Our retirement planning experts present the analysis of your current retirement planning situation in a easily comprehensible way. The aim of the meeting is to show scenarios in which you are sufficiently covered and where there are gaps in your pension or potential for improvement − based on your personal and financial needs, plans and dreams for the future.

    The analysis mainly includes:

    • the current benefits from your state, employee and private pensions in scenarios where you are unable to work, in case of death and on retirement.
    • The effective benefits are compared with your financial needs in each scenario to identify any excess insurance or gaps in your pension.

Step 4: Optimizing your retirement planning and asset situation

  • The personal retirement planning analysis is the basis for optimizing your current retirement planning situation, providing financial protection against risks or planning asset growth for financial peace of mind in retirement. Our retirement planning experts will show you different approaches to cover gaps in your pension or to optimize your tax situation with retirement planning solutions.

    If you wish, we can provide further details on topics such as

    • Succession planning
    • Advance care directives
    • Patient decrees

Step 5: Implementing and discussing further steps

  • We advise you – you decide which solutions or products are right for you. At the end of the PostFinance retirement planning advice process, you can be sure that your pension provision requirements are optimally protected based on your current life situation.

    Please note that changes in your personal or professional situation can have positive or negative effects on your pension provision situation, so you should check your personal pension plan regularly. We can help you with this. So that your financial future goes just as you want it to.

  • Based on the information you provide, we check your income situation in the event of various risks, such as incapacity to work due to illness. This is the most common reason for disability. Our experience shows that cover in precisely this case is often insufficient. In a pension provision analysis, we work out possible solutions with you for all risk scenarios, so that you have the optimal protection for your needs.
