For International Women’s Day, we teamed up with saint sass to support a cause close to our mission - raising awareness about the importance of retirement savings for women. We believe that financial education is the first step, which is not accessible for everyone. That’s why we matched all profits from the sales of the “Retire Rich” tights and donated them to seiSTARK e.V. This initiative funded 20 financial education workshops across six schools in Germany. They are designed to equip young women with practical financial knowledge and confidence, creating the foundation for a secure financial future.

Banks serve themselves, not you. We are a Republic. A thing of the people. At Trade Republic, we make banking simple and fair. We pass the ECB interest rate to you, uncapped. Because earning a few cents every day amounts to something big. So big, it makes a dent. This month, we passed one billion Euros in interest paid out to you. €1,000,000,000 more in your pockets.

Public pension costs in Spain are set to double in the next 20 years. A new study by Trade Republic, led by Prof. Javier Diaz-Gimenez from IESE Business School, projects Spain’s public pension costs will reach 225 billion euros by 2044 - 91 % higher than today, excluding inflation. Key factors include: - 16 million Spaniards will retire in the next 20 years, an increase of over 40 % compared to today. - The average time receiving pensions will rise 11 %, from 23.7 to 26.2 years. - Real-term pensions are rising due to longer careers and higher productivity, potentially increasing average pensions by 40 %. In 2023, 31 % of Social Security spending was covered by the General State Budget, highlighting future financial strain. With just 50 € monthly contributions at a 7 % annual return over 40 years, Spaniards could accumulate 128,000 € in today's purchasing power. However, high management fees (2 %) could reduce that wealth by 55 %, so choosing low-fee investments is crucial. The full study can be found (in Spanish) here: https://lnkd.in/dQZVBv_G
