The baby boomers will soon retire. The pay-as-you-go system of statutory pension insurance will then place a particularly heavy burden on the descendants of the so-called baby boomers. The gap between the necessary pension funds and contribution income is already around 100 billion euros. And things won’t get any better with the pay-as-you-go system; the funding gaps will get even bigger. Perhaps the equity pension will help politicians. The pay-as-you-go system is to be supported by capital market returns. Ten billion euros is to be made available as start-up capital for this purpose in next year’s budget. However, it is doubted that the idea will come in time; the amount is also far too low.

According to financial experts, this investment strategy is not bad in principle. And there is hope that private individuals will opt for investments on the capital market. If more people invested in equities, their financial prospects for retirement would be better. Because surveys also show that most people don’t want rising contribution rates, falling pension levels or a higher retirement age. So, it would not be a bad idea to reward private pension provision. This could be done by raising tax-free allowances for capital gains and dividends. As long as not much is done in terms of old-age provision from the government’s point of view, an investment in gold shares can secure the portfolio. For example, Karora Resources or Maple Gold Mines.

Karora Resources – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D0A-u_wrQM – owns the Beta Hunt gold mine and the Higginsville Gold Operations in Western Australia. The company’s goal is to increase production to more than 200,000 ounces annually.

Maple Gold Mines, with partner Agnico Eagle, operates two gold projects in Quebec in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
