RETIREMENT AND INVESTMENT – WHY NOT CONSIDER INVESTING IN OVERSEAS PROPERTY INSTEAD?
We have known for a long time that Swiss pensions (AVS – for those who will receive them…) will not be enough to cover the living costs of future pensioners who wish to continue living in Switzerland.
We have already published an article that is particularly clear and clearly illustrates the differences in pensions relative to the cost of living in Europe and Switzerland.
As we can see, Switzerland ranks at the bottom of the table, and the vast majority of pensioners will have to move abroad to enjoy a decent retirement!
If they stay in Switzerland, they would only survive in precarious circumstances... The solution for the future is to build up your own future income rather than relying solely on the state or an institution to provide it.

This grim prospect has long been hidden from the working population, but like any lie, at some point it can no longer be concealed.
So what can be done?
There is the option of moving abroad, which many have already done successfully, or of staying but living in poverty on supplementary benefits… (a fine reward after so many years of hard work).
As you will read in the excellent comparative article in the newspaper 20 Minutes, Europeans, with their low wages and small pensions, are far better off than the Swiss with their ‘highest average wage in the world’… But also with the highest cost of living in the world…
But why do Europeans fare better than the Swiss?
If we set aside the significantly lower cost of living, the majority of Europeans own their own homes, on which they generally pay no tax if it is their main residence… A very important point!
Therefore, in order to offer affordable products, we have decided to develop a property concept for retirees and/or investors seeking a rental yield that provides an attractive financial return on their investment.
We are starting with this development in Thailand and are currently working on similar projects with our partners in Portugal and Cambodia
