Swiss Pensions Are Important — And Getting Them Right Matters.

Your Swiss pension is likely one of the most significant assets you’ve built during your time here. Yet for many expats, knowing what to do with that pension — especially when relocating — isn’t always clear.

At Skybound Wealth, we help you understand your position, make sense of the rules, and ensure your pension is structured in a way that protects its long-term value, wherever life takes you next.

Whether you’re preparing to leave Switzerland, already abroad, or simply seeking clarity on your available options, Peter Gollogly - a recognised expert in Swiss pension structures and expat planning - can guide you through the key decisions and help you move forward with confidence.

Campbell is clear, responsive and always takes the time to explain things in a way that’s easy to understand

I’ve been working with Campbell Warnock since late 2024 as I settled into life in the Gulf and he has been an excellent guide for my financial planning. He has strong expertise in expatriate wealth management, with a particular focus on retirement planning and investment strategy. Campbell is clear, responsive and always takes the time to explain things in a way that’s easy to understand. I would highly recommend him to any expat looking for a knowledgeable and dependable Wealth Management Adviser.
