Kala Swiss SA - Find your 2<sup>nd</sup> pillar assets for free

When to do the research?

You should immediately do a search if:

You are unemployed: When you stop working, a vested benefit credit is created directly. If this happens repeatedly, the money can be spread over several accounts, creating a blur in your financial situation and excess costs.
You have taken a sabbatical: When you stop working, a vested benefit credit is created directly. If this happens repeatedly, the money can be spread over several accounts, creating a blur in your financial situation and excess costs.
You want to plan your retirement: Good retirement planning requires an overview of all your assets. A quick awareness of this issue allows you to find a banking partner offering more interesting returns.
You have changed employers: If you have changed employers without a break in employment, no problem, your credit balance has been transferred to your new pension fund. If your employment was terminated for a few months, a vested benefit credit may have been created.
You have left Switzerland: Leaving your employer in Switzerland means leaving your pension fund and therefore a vested benefit is created. This money can be withdrawn under certain conditions or transferred to a Swiss bank offering better conditions.
You want to plan your estate: Good succession planning requires an overview of all your assets. Early awareness of this issue enables you to find an advantageous banking partner. It also helps to reduce the administrative burden on your heirs.
You are divorced: The LPP assets accumulated during the marriage should in principle be shared at the time of divorce. During this splitting, a vested benefits account is created if the recipient is not affiliated with a pension fund.
You are looking for equity: Do you need equity to buy your own home and are you short on funds? Perhaps you have it without knowing it.
You are curious: Are you a conscientious person who wants to be sure that none of your hard-earned assets from your professional career have been misplaced? There's only one way to make it light.

2nd pillar assets or vested benefits: how to recover them?

By filling out our free and non-binding search request form, a search will be made of more than 1'500 pension institutions in Switzerland.

How could I "misplace" my assets?

When the employee leaves the employer, the pension fund sends a form to the employee and the employee must indicate where the assets are to be transferred. If this form is not filled in on time, the money is sent to the Substitute Institution Foundation.
