Expat Chat Episode 174 – The Swiss Pension System & How it Works for Australian Expats
Welcome to the one hundred seventy fourth episode of the #ExpatChat podcast, host Atlas Wealth Managing Director, Brett Evans is joined by Patrick Canion, Head of Advice for Switzerland, to unpack how the Swiss pension system works and what it means for Australian expats.
Firstly, they explore Switzerland’s three-pillar structure; the state pension (Pillar 1), employer pension (Pillar 2), and voluntary savings (Pillar 3A) — and compare it to Australia’s superannuation system.
In addition, the discussion covers how expats can access or transfer benefits when moving between Switzerland and Australia, as well as the key tax considerations involved. Ultimately, the episode highlights the importance of strategic planning when managing retirement across both systems.
