That was the consensus among the panel of experts at the Capital and ntv wealth accumulation summit, as reported by Capital in its article. As a panellist on the topic of private pension provision, Henriette Peucker, Chief Executive and Member of the Board of Deutsches Aktieninstitut, pointed out that early retirement pensions are an important element of retirement provision.

The early retirement pension is ‘only a door opener’, whereas shares, equity funds and ETFs in all three pillars of pension provision offer the best chance for a sustainable pension.
