BETTER FINANCE's "Pension Savings: The Real Return" was mentioned in an article in L'Argus d'Assurance.com

The findings of the report echoed in the French media following our press conference in Paris on October 30. The event, organized by FAIDER, the Fédération des Associations Indépendantes de Défense des Epargnants pour la Retraite and BETTER FINANCE's French member organization, took place at the Salons de l'Hôtel Château Frontenac.

The article focused on the bad performances of civil services's pension systems and it was followed by a second article comparing the performance of savings products in eight European countries with the help of BETTER FINANCE's infographic.

A complete analysis of the report by L'Argus d'Assurance can also be found here (in French, subscription needed to have access). Please find the article (in French) here.

The platform Toutsurlaretraite.com also covered our report. The article compares the performance of Perp, French personal pension plans (plans d'épargne retraite populaires) and stresses how diminished is the performance of capital-guaranteed contracts when taxation is taken into account. 

Le Cabinet PEA and AssurlandPro also dedicated two articles to our analysis of the financial savings products in French households’ portfolios.
