2 Vision and Motivation Back then! About 40 years ago returns of 8.5% to 10.5% were common, but with inflation rates of 6% -7%. Nevertheless a net capital gain of 3.5% - 4% was achieved. Moreover, fortunately the inflation rate decreased, and even Life insurances and pensions funds, showed a remarkable asset growth. Wolfgang Thust recently founded the VIVA AG. "My aspiration is to create a whole new dimension in the areas investment in assets and retirement provisions, which I like to make my ideas paired with over 40 years of experience available to everyone. " And today? Life insurances and pensions funds have a guaranteed interest rate of 1.75% on the Savings component. The current effective yield on the saving proportion is still at 3% to 4%. Currently, interest rates are below 1% and an inflation rate of 2.3% (average 2011). Conclusion: In these asset classes your assets are actually loosing purchasing power! Source: 2
