Are you taking a career break to further your education?

Are you taking a career break to undertake an extended period of further education? You will need to transfer your pension fund assets to a vested benefits institution of your choice. frankly offers the right investment model for your vested benefits whatever your life situation.

For example: Melanie, 42, is undertaking further education

Let’s assume you are Melanie, 42 years old, and you work as a teacher at a secondary school. You always wanted to be a pianist and now finally have the opportunity to take a career break to pursue this ambition. While studying at the Zurich Conservatory, you will transfer your existing pension fund assets to a vested benefits institution.

Account strategy

Melanie opts for an account strategy that pays interest on her balance at a current rate of 0.40%. Since Melanie will return to her job as a teacher in a year’s time, investing her pension fund assets in securities is too risky for her.
