Employee share defies Corona, war and inflation (in German)

Employee share programs are an attractive and secure way to build wealth: 87 percent of employee share plans generate an annual return of at least five percent over ten years. In more than half of the plans, employees can look forward to a return of over eleven percent. The platform of AGP Bundesverband Mitarbeiterbeteiligung, Deutsches Aktieninstitut and hkp// group proves the potential of employee shares in sustainable wealth accumulation.

Background information on the Employee Share Yield Triangle

The Employee Share Yield Triangle is an initiative of the management consultancy hkp/// group, which specializes in strategic HR management and corporate governance advisory, in cooperation with the Deutsches Aktieninstitut and the AGP Bundesverband Mitarbeiterbeteiligung. Using the freely accessible web-based platform, employers and employees can simulate the framework conditions and details of employee stock ownership programs at www.mab-renditedreieck.de and determine corresponding performance trends. Aspects such as annual investment, holding periods, type of plan (matching/discount), matching ratio or amount of discount and tax allowances (matching/discount and capital gains) can be flexibly set. The tool thus maps all parameters relevant for employee participation. The current version includes all DAX, MDAX, SDAX and TecDAX companies.
