Vested Benefits UP

UP

The Vested Benefits UP foundation was created by Trianon SA and the FCT Group to enable each insured to retain and grow their pension capital in between two affiliations to the second pillar. 

This solution is intended for anyone in a career transition: change of job, career break, expatriation, self-employment or end of contract. Thanks to its efficient and secure approach, Vested Benefits UP guarantees continuity in the management of the retirement capital.

Vested Benefits UP

Independent and transparent governance

Vested Benefits UP is structured to ensure independent, transparent governance without conflicts of interest. It benefits from the combined experience of FCT and Trianon SA to offer pension solutions tailored to the specific needs of insureds. 

Who is Vested Benefits UP intended for?

The vested benefits payment is made whenever an insured leaves a pension fund without immediately joining another one. It applies in particular to the following situations:

  • Change of employer
  • Parental leave or career break
  • Permanent departure from Switzerland
  • Unemployment or dismissal
  • Becoming self-employed
  • Continuing education or retraining
  • Divorce or dissolution of partnership
  • Granting a full disability pension
  • Approaching retirement without new affiliation

In each of these cases, the insured has a legal right to retain their pension assets with a vested benefits institution.

A secure portal

Insureds can access the Vested Benefits UP foundation directly via the secure EBC portal. They can view their personal account at any time to make online transfers.

The "Transfer to Vested Benefits UP " button must be selected. Once the investment strategy has been selected and confirmed, a confirmation is sent.
