Lawyer & financial markets expert · AVD Anbieter Vergleich · responsible for the contents
Rolf Henning Hackel is available for interviews and analysis. Topics are the launch of the Altersvorsorgedepot in 2027, the Frühstartrente (early-start pension for children), the provider market including costs, and switching out of old Riester contracts. On request, also as a background conversation without quotation.
We track the entire provider market and record all terms in a single place so that you do not have to search yourself. The figures are ready to use. We can supply them as a graphic or as raw data, and at market launch the big cost check will follow, probably the most requested analysis of the year.

You are free to use the following quotes from Rolf Henning Hackel.
We are not a product provider and we do not sell contracts. No provider can buy a better placement from us. We assess everyone against the same ten criteria, based on official information and the statutory requirements. Where we are funded through referral links, we label this openly, and it has no influence on the assessment.
