How to bridge the "pension gap"

Here's the reality: the public pension alone likely won't be enough to maintain your desired lifestyle in retirement. There's a growing "pension gap" in Germany, and understanding your options for private retirement planning is crucial for your financial future.

What you need is expert guidance to help you navigate this landscape, and Versicherungsbüro Weiss is here to help! As an independent insurance broker specialising in expats and international professionals, they'll not only show you the path to the retirement security you need, but also support you in understanding all the details along the way.

Bring your questions - there will be a live Q&A at the end!

Join Daniel Weiss for an interactive webinar in which Versicherungsbüro Weiss will provide clear answers about:

Understanding the German pension system

• How the public pension actually works and what you can expect to receive
  
• The three pillars of German pension planning (employment-based, government-based, and privately-based)
  
• Why the public pension system is facing challenges and what this means for your future
  
• Real examples showing the "pension gap" between your expected income needs and public pension benefits

The Basisrente (Rüruprente)

• What the Basisrente is and how it differs from other pension options
• Tax advantages explained with real numbers
• How to balance guaranteed returns vs. growth potential based on your comfort level
• Practical examples with real numbers showing potential monthly and lump-sum benefits

Strategic considerations

• Basisrente vs. other pension options: when does each make sense?
• How private pension planning fits alongside public and employer-sponsored pensions
• Self-investment strategies vs. pension insurance vs. life and disability insurance options

Plus, an interactive Q&A session to address your specific questions!
