The principles that matter in retirement
There are a few key rules that become especially important once you stop working.
Keep enough liquidity
Always maintain a financial buffer in cash. This allows you to cover expenses without having to sell investments at the wrong time.
Choose risk consciously – and diversify
A shorter investment horizon means less room for large fluctuations. Broad diversification across asset classes and regions helps stabilise your portfolio.
Stay balanced – with a Swiss focus
If your life is in Swiss francs, part of your portfolio can be too. This reduces currency risk while keeping global diversification.
Define a clear withdrawal plan
Your wealth becomes your income. Selma helps you plan how much you can withdraw — without running out too early.
Keep costs low
Fees have a bigger impact than most people realise. What matters is your net return after costs.
