What is a distributing share class?

In a distributing share class, the fund’s income is paid out regularly to investors. These payments are made on specified dates to the designated account. In contrast, in an accumulating share class , the income remains invested in the fund.

How much additional monthly income can I receive?

This depends on several factors, including the amount of capital you have accumulated, how long it is intended to last, and how your investment performs over time. The calculator linked on this page allows you to test different amounts and time horizons. The result is an illustration and not a guarantee of future payments.

Can I increase withdrawals temporarily if I face larger expenses?

In many cases, investors can adjust their withdrawal strategy to reflect changing life circumstances. This can help finance travel, home renovations, or other major purchases. However, higher withdrawals may reduce the longevity of your assets. The amount of a fund savings plan can usually be adjusted on a regular basis.

How can I avoid depleting my assets too early?

A balanced withdrawal strategy takes into account the planned withdrawal period, potential market fluctuations, and a financial buffer for unexpected expenses. Regular reviews of the chosen withdrawal rate can help maintain flexibility over the long term.

Can a regular additional income help close the pension gap?

Many investors use their accumulated assets to supplement their pension and support their financial goals in retirement. A fund savings plan can provide a flexible solution. However, the amount and duration of potential withdrawals will depend on the performance of the investment.

Investing in securities involves risks and opportunities

Now the time has finally come: you have saved enough money and want to enjoy yourself. You would like to go on holiday, eat in a good restaurant from time to time or perhaps support your children or grandchildren with their education. At the same time, medical expenses, minor renovations to the house or car repairs should not be a financial burden for you. For such expenses, you need a regular additional income. When you have saved up a nest egg, you should budget the money carefully.

Create a supplementary income with the Fund Savings Plan

With the Fund Savings Plan, you can have your money paid out automatically and regularly. You decide how much additional income you want. This way, you remain flexible. If you have a fund with a distributing unit class in your securities account, you will receive the income at least once a year in your current account. You can use these funds immediately for your personal needs. Please note that investing in securities involves risks as well as opportunities.

Mixed price based on the cost-average principle

If you regularly pay in the same amount, you can get a lower average price than with a one-time purchase. The cost-average principle is particularly useful when prices fluctuate widely. When prices are low, you buy more units; when prices are high, you buy fewer.

Please note: The average cost effect diminishes as the term of the investment increases. The accumulated savings then behave more and more as if you had invested the entire amount in a single lump sum. Depending on market developments, a one-time investment may also be more favourable. Investing in securities involves risks as well as opportunities.

Automatic value adjustment

If you wish, your deposits can be automatically increased by a fixed percentage or euro amount each year.
