More and more people are realizing that the statutory pension insurance cannot keep its promise of guaranteeing them financial security in old age. Since classic forms of investment such as savings accounts no longer earn interest, many people are suddenly faced with the task of seriously thinking about alternative forms of investment for the first time. In this volume, financial expert and best-selling author Gerd Kommer presents what is probably the simplest, most transparent and most secure option in a practical and easy-to-understand way: ETFs (exchange-traded funds). ETFs offer unbeatable advantages for private investors. They require no previous knowledge, little training time and little running time. The cost of entry is low, the yield is high, and the legal structure is more robust than any alternative. It is already foreseeable today that ETFs will soon take over the role in millions of private households that had the savings account and capital-forming life insurance policies for the last 70 years. Everything the reader needs to know in order to get started with ETFs immediately and to plan and set up his private financial provision without much effort can be found in 'The easy entry into the world of ETFs'.
