Investment: Fund Managers - "You pay a high price for the guarantee"
Jan Viebig was chief investment strategist at several private banks. He explains why young investors should go all in on stocks - and why the AI rally is far from over.
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 view and invest in stocks, which offer a historical risk premium of around 6% over the risk-free rate, and to diversify their portfolios with bonds. He also recommends that investors assess their individual risk tolerance and investment horizon when making investment decisions.
