What you gain
The value of cover matched to your needs.
Goal, timeframe, flexibility and risk brought into one personal strategy
Use workplace provision
A company pension may add employer contributions or salary conversion, but costs and taxation during retirement still need review.
Compare private routes
ETF savings, Riester and Rürup follow different rules on market risk, support, access to capital and taxation.
Adjust risk over time
The mix of shares, safer assets and available cash should reflect the remaining term and the planned withdrawal phase.

Frequently asked questions
A few answers before you enquire.
01When can Riester still be relevant?
It may be relevant depending on child allowances, income, tax effect, product costs and your need for flexibility. Its value should be calculated for your circumstances.
02How does Rürup work for self-employed people?
Rürup, also called Basisrente, can be one component because contributions may receive tax treatment within legal limits. Costs, the lack of a lump-sum capital payout and the lifelong pension structure also matter.
03Can an ETF savings plan be used for retirement?
Yes, but ETF savings involve market risk as well as fund, custody and execution costs. The investment horizon, risk profile and need for any insurance element should be considered.
04How much should I save each month?
The suitable amount depends on age, target retirement income, current provision, reserves, investment term and risk profile. There is no standard amount that fits everyone.
05What is a pension gap?
It is the difference between the retirement income you expect and the income you want. Employment history, existing contracts and your target budget determine its size.
