A study conducted by Swiss Life reveals concerning statistics about the financial well-being of Swiss retirees:
10% of retirees anticipate that their savings will not last through their lifetime.
44% are just breaking even, spending as much as they receive.
22% rely on their savings to cover daily expenses.
73% of working individuals do not have enough for retirement.
These figures highlight that even in Switzerland, many seniors face financial challenges during retirement.

Cause of Retirement Crisis in an Affluent Country?
Even Switzerland, known worldwide for its financial strength, is feeling the pinch of global trends affecting retirement security. The reasons are complex but clear:
Longevity Risk
People are living longer—a good thing in many ways, but financially challenging when retirement savings must stretch much further. Increased longevity significantly heightens the risk of running out of money.
Rising Costs and Inflation
Inflation doesn’t spare affluent nations. Housing, healthcare, and daily expenses continue to rise. Even modest increases compound over a long retirement, dramatically eroding purchasing power.
Inefficient Retirement Products
Traditional retirement plans, including pensions and personal savings products, often involve high fees and inefficient management practices. These inefficiencies silently erode up to half of a person’s retirement savings—money they can't afford to lose.
Why We Need an Innovative Solution
Clearly, a systemic change is needed to address this growing retirement insecurity. Traditional solutions, despite their good intentions, have proven inadequate. A fresh, innovative approach to retirement savings—one that can recover what’s currently lost through inefficiencies—is urgently required.
