Sustainable retirement planning with Zurich
Would you like to maintain your accustomed standard of living in retirement and provide financial security for yourself and your surviving dependents? Zurich’s high-yield, secure and flexible retirement products are recommended for adequate provision.
As one of the economically strongest insurers in the world, Zurich has a special responsibility to act in an ecological, social and ethical manner. For this reason, Zurich is actively committed to climate protection and sustainable corporate governance.
Retirement provision
When retirement begins, people want to continue enjoying life from a financial perspective. Although many costs will be eliminated later, the state pension is usually not enough to maintain the standard of living you have earned. Taking a closer look at your future income situation can help estimate your additional financial needs and close the pension gap.
In Germany, a distinction is made between three pillars of retirement provision: The first pillar covers basic provision. This includes statutory pension insurance, occupational pension schemes and the so-called Rürup pension. The second pillar covers company pension plans and the so-called Riester insurance. The third pillar deals with non-state-subsidized pension provision. This includes private life and pension insurance.

Provision for family members
Give the people you love an important piece of a carefree future:
Because when you can no longer be there, you leave a void. In your heart, in your household, in your job. And also financially.
