Geldanlage: Zehn Dinge, die ich als Anfänger über ETFs gelernt habe
Aus dem Handelsblatt-Archiv: Unser Autor befasst sich zum ersten Mal in seinem Leben mit ETFs – und stellt fest, dass Altersvorsorge damit in der Theorie einfacher ist als in der Praxis.
In 2008, when the author completed their degree, they had set up a retirement insurance policy based on stock funds through a friend. This decision, despite being touted as very secure, proved to be a poor one. The author never gave the insurance policy a thorough read-through and simply signed it, following instructions. Even a simple savings book would have been more informative.
Upon switching to a financial newspaper last year, the author found themselves thinking about their finances more often.

This was during a period when the stock markets performed quite well.
