Investment: Fund Managers - "You pay a high price for the guarantee"

Jan Viebig, a renowned German capital market expert, says that Germans do not understand the relationship between returns and risk, which is why they heavily invest in guarantee products. He notes that these products offer lower returns, citing the example of the Riester-Rente, which offered an average annual return of 1.7%, compared to 9% for stocks.

Viebig advises investors to take a long-term approach, diversify their portfolios, and consider investing in stocks and bonds, but not to invest in guarantee products that prioritize capital protection over returns. He also recommends that investors assess their individual risk tolerance and investment horizon when making investment decisions.
