Rightly so, because up to \u20ac1,680 per year from the state is a powerful lever on returns. The ongoing costs <a href=\"https:\/\/altersvorsorgedepot-anbieter-vergleich.de\/en\/what-is\/etfs-in-the-altersvorsorgedepot-the-heart-of-the-new-retirement-provision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in the Altersvorsorgedepot<\/a>, by contrast, work quietly. Across the entire accumulation phase, though, they matter at least as much.<\/p>\n<p>In the market, the <a href=\"https:\/\/altersvorsorgedepot-anbieter-vergleich.de\/en\/what-is\/reduction-in-yield-riy-in-the-altersvorsorgedepot-what-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reduction in yield in the Altersvorsorgedepot<\/a> currently falls within the following ranges:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>0.3% to 0.7% per year<\/strong> for a pure ETF default standard product via a bank or neobroker.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>0.7% to 1.0% per year<\/strong> for a default standard product with actively managed fund components.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>1.0% to 1.8% per year<\/strong> for a premium product with personal advice.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Old Riester contracts, for comparison, frequently ran at 1.5% to 2.5% in costs per year. The default standard product in the Altersvorsorgedepot is also subject to a statutory limit of at most 1.0% reduction in yield per year. That is a clear difference from the Riester world, where such caps rarely bit so consistently.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2782f7e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2782f7e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1a635d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1a635d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">What difference one percentage point of costs makes to your final balance<\/h2>\n<p>The effect is not linear; it intensifies over time. Compounding is behind this. Costs reduce not only the capital paid in but also every bit of return that this capital could have earned in the years that followed. A rule of thumb. <strong>1% higher reduction in yield cuts the final balance after 30 years by roughly 20 to 30%<\/strong>, not by 1%.<\/p>\n<p>Our own model calculation illustrates this with an example of a \u20ac200 monthly contribution over 30 years and a 6% gross return before costs:<\/p>\n<table><colgroup><col \/><col \/><col \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>Reduction in yield<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>Net return<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>Final balance after 30 years<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>0.5%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>5.5%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>approx. \u20ac175,000<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>1.0%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>5.0%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>approx. \u20ac160,000<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>1.5%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>4.5%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>approx. \u20ac146,000<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>2.0%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>4.0%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>approx. \u20ac134,000<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>With an identical contribution, the cheapest and the most expensive variant are around <strong>\u20ac40,000 apart in final balance<\/strong> \u2013 without anything changing in the amount paid in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In short<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Differences in costs have a disproportionate, not a linear, effect over 30 years.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>At \u20ac200 a month and a 6% gross return, there is around \u20ac40,000 in final balance between 0.5% and 2.0% in costs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>A low cost rate is a lever you can pull yourself. Unlike the market return.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A second example with a different contribution shows the same effect even more clearly: at \u20ac150 a month over 30 years, an account with 0.4% in costs reaches a final balance of around \u20ac178,000. At 1.7% in costs, the same contribution yields only around \u20ac132,000.<\/p>\n<p>The difference of \u20ac46,000 arises purely from the cost structure, not from the investment strategy. The cost question is therefore not a side issue but one of the adjustments you really do control with the Altersvorsorgedepot.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-032eefc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"032eefc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ba0780 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ba0780\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Why ETF costs in the Altersvorsorgedepot are more likely to fall than rise<\/h2>\n<p>Two forces work in the same direction here. First, the statutory cost cap of at most 1.0% for the default standard product. It sets a clear upper limit that Riester contracts never had with this consistency. Second, competition among providers, which is likely to intensify with the market launch in 2027 as more banks, neobrokers, and fund companies offer their own Altersvorsorgedepots.<\/p>\n<p>How strongly this competitive pressure actually works, however, also depends on how many providers become active in the market. Fabian Behnke, Head of Strategic Accounts at Vanguard, sums it up <a href=\"https:\/\/altersvorsorgedepot-anbieter-vergleich.de\/en\/expert-interviews\/vanguard-on-the-altersvorsorgedepot-costs-competition-and-the-2027-launch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in the expert interview with Vanguard<\/a> as follows: &#8220;Every cent that goes into fees can end up missing from your pension.&#8221; He regards the statutory cost cap as sensible, but points out at the same time that it does not cover additional services such as financial education, digital infrastructure, or personal advice \u2013 one reason why the cost range between a pure ETF default standard product and a premium offering with advice remains so wide. In his view, what matters is that enough providers are able to develop attractive solutions so that competition and the capacity to innovate are preserved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In short<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>The statutory cost cap of 1.0% limits costs on the default standard product at the top end.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Growing competition among providers from the 2027 market launch should exert additional pressure on costs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Without enough providers in the market, industry voices say this effect remains limited.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You will be the first to see which providers actually launch and on what terms if you join the waiting list.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8398b82 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8398b82\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">What cost developments mean for your subsidy<\/h2>\n<p>Low costs do not work in isolation; they amplify the effect of the government subsidy. Every euro that does not go into fees stays invested and benefits from compounding, just like your allowance and your own contribution.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-597af60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"597af60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Conclusion: costs are the lever you hold yourself<\/h2>\n<p>The subsidy determines how much extra money flows into your Altersvorsorgedepot. The costs determine how much of it actually reaches you in the end. While falling costs in the market are good news for everyone, you have to look closely yourself when choosing a provider.
