This year’s dividend season is slowly coming to an end. Worldwide, over one trillion euros in dividends have flowed to shareholders. In Germany, there was also a payout record, with well over 35 billion euros alone from publicly listed companies. In contrast, the development of global indices is a constant back-and-forth between optimists and pessimists. The multitude of negative political news will continue to stand in the way of a clear upward trend.


The current tax estimate documents total state revenues of 3,291.1 billion euros for the current legislative period (2018 to 2021), which is 533.8 billion euros higher than the taxes for the previous legislative period from 2014 to 2017 (Source: Federal Ministry of Finance). From an economic perspective, the concern is not only the excessively costly bureaucracy but, above all, the stagnating or declining public investments. Our homeland is continuing to lose ground.


Since May 25, 2018, the new EU Regulation 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in conjunction with the updated Federal Data Protection Act, has been applicable. We have incorporated these legal frameworks into our processes to provide our customers and website visitors with maximum protection. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. We are here for you.


We wish all friends of our company good fortune in their investment decisions. Stay loyal to us.
