Investment: "Even a pensioner can handle 100 percent stocks"
Martin Weber has been researching investor behavior for decades. In an interview, he explains what is important when setting up a portfolio and what misconceptions investors should not subscribe to.
Financial expert Martin Weber discusses investing in stocks and bonds, citing that many people are hesitant to start due to perceived complexity. According to the Deutsche Aktieninstitut, only about one in six German citizens invests in stocks directly or through funds. Weber suggests that a simple portfolio with two-thirds stocks and one-third bonds can be a good starting point, but emphasizes that investment goals and risk tolerance should guide decisions.
He also recommends diversifying investments, but notes that even a few well-informed investments can be effective, citing Charlie Munger, partner of Warren Buffett, as an example. Weber advises against trying to find the best funds or stocks, and instead suggests investing with the market to build long-term wealth with minimal stress.
