MEAG launches new pension fund products

The MEAG capital protected funds and the MEAG VermögensPlan Plus pension fund are now on the market. These new products are best suited as long-term investments within the scope of a pension plan.
MEAG Managing Director in charge of retail customer activities Gerhard Rosenbauer says: "These new products are for customers looking for secure investments with an attractive return – two key aspects when it comes to pension plans."
Vermögensplan Plus is designed to grow investor assets over the long term. With its innovative pricing model, Vermögensplan Plus saves the investor up to 52 percent of the front-end load, varying according to the investment period and the funds selected. Compound interest and the cost-average effect mean savers can build up considerable wealth with this product. There are two funds to choose from within Vermögensplan Plus, depending on the individual's personal investment strategy: the European fixed-income fund MEAG EuroRent Lux is the more conservative and the European equity fund MEAG EuroInvest Lux the more aggressive fund with a greater chance of higher returns. Both funds can be combined as desired, keeping in mind the minimum investment instalments. The investment term of the MEAG VermögensPlan Plus product is between 7 and 30 years.
Exploit the earnings opportunities of the equity and bond markets while protecting your investments against potential losses – that is the concept of MEAG's capital protected funds. Their dynamic capital protection concept combines the securities investments held by the funds with a hedging mechanism that enables investors to benefit to a maximum from upward phases on the European capital markets, while systematically reducing the risk of losses when markets are falling. The investor can choose between the MEAG Floor EuroRenten fixed-income fund and the MEAG Floor EuroAktien equities fund. MEAG Floor EuroRenten is the focus for investors with a low risk-affinity. It allows them to participate in the performance of the European bond markets, while retaining a lower value limit of 95 percent of its all time high unit price. MEAG Floor EuroAktien offers the probability of a higher return over the long term by investing in European equities markets. The lower value limit here is 85 percent. The "peak level lock-in" is updated every trading day and generally enables steady profit taking.
