Section Expect In Terms Of Pension

Market developments in 2021

The continued recovery of the global economy was characteristic for the past year. Large-scale vaccination campaigns ensured that countries could open up further and further. Governments and central banks also provided support to limit the negative financial effects of the pandemic for consumers and businesses. As a result, there was a strong global demand for goods and raw materials, which consequently rose sharply in price. Growth and good corporate earnings meant that shares closed the year at record levels. Growth and inflation caused interest rates to rise in 2021. Finally, the euro depreciated against most other currencies.  

Smart Investing at LifeSight

LifeSight makes sure that your pension investments match your age and income. Are you relatively young, then you are automatically investing more in the Rendement fund which is targeted at reaching a high return. The returns are needed in order to accrue a sufficient pension. The closer you get to your retirement date, the more you invest in the Matching funds which have a defensive nature. 

You use your invested money with LifeSight to buy a pension with an insurer of your choice when you retire. You hand over the pension capital to an insurance company and will receive a lifelong monthly pension for that.
