You have a great career, a great salary and a life in one of the world's most expensive countries. But at some point, many high achievers start asking a different kind of question. It’s not "How do I earn more?" but "How do I make my money work as hard as I do?"

That’s exactly what this webinar is about. Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE): what it really takes, how it works in the Swiss context and how to start building a life where, one day, work becomes a choice rather than a necessity.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Understand what FIRE really means and the three different approaches that can suit different lifestyles, including those of high earners in Switzerland
  • Apply the key FIRE principles within the Swiss context
  • Learn how Charlene built a seven-figure investment portfolio and left her corporate career at 31, starting from a regular income
  • Follow five key steps to build a strong investment portfolio and prepare for FIRE
  • Avoid some of the biggest mistakes people make when pursuing financial independence in Switzerland


Whether you are just starting to think about financial independence or already building your investment portfolio, this webinar will give you a practical framework for understanding FIRE and the steps that can help you work towards it.

Join us and discover how investing can help you build greater financial freedom and make work a choice rather than a necessity.

Be aware of the risk

Trading leveraged products on the Forex platform, such as foreign exchange, spot precious metals and Contracts for Difference (CFDs), involves significant risk of loss due to the leverage and may not be suitable for all investors. Prior to opening an account with Swissquote, consider your level of experience, investment objectives, assets, income and risk appetite. Losses are in theory unlimited and you may be required to make additional payments if your account balance falls below the required margin level and therefore you should not speculate, invest or hedge with capital you cannot afford to lose, that is borrowed or urgently needed or necessary for personal or family subsistence. Over the past 12 months, 68.22% of retail investors have either lost money when trading CFDs, experienced a total loss of their margin at the closing of their position or ended up with a negative balance after closing their position. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading and seek advice from an independent financial adviser if you have any doubts.
