In the latest monthly question, DVFA Investment Professionals were asked what they think of the German government’s pension package and the “generational capital” it contains to support state pension funding. “Of course, the longest journey begins with the first step. For many investment experts, however, the discussion about funded pension provision feels about as old as this proverb by Lao Tzu,” says Roger Peeters, CEO of DVFA, describing the results of the survey. “‘Too late, too little’ was the tenor of many of the comments we received. On the other hand, the opinion clearly prevailed that the start that has finally been made is more important than the individual criticism of the concept.”
