Four high-return investment strategies

World Portfolios · ESG variants · Halal

You decide for yourself how much risk you want to take. Pensionflow offers you four global investment strategies: a 60 % equity share stands for lower risk, a 100 % equity share offers the highest return potential – complemented by bonds, which provide stability and deliver regular interest income. New: our Sharia-compliant strategy for values-based investing according to Islamic principles.

100 % equities

Weltportfolio Zielorientiert

Expected return: 7 %

This portfolio pursues a return-oriented strategy and invests 100 % in a globally diversified equity portfolio. Particularly suitable for long-term investors with a high risk appetite – over a longer holding period it offers the potential for maximum return.

80 % equities · 20 % bonds

Weltportfolio Stabilität

Expected return: 6 %

This balanced portfolio combines 80 % globally diversified equities with 20 % bonds as an admixture. The bonds lower the risk, as they are usually less prone to fluctuation. A balanced mix of return and risk – especially for investors who value stability.

60 % equities · 40 % bonds

Weltportfolio Flexibilität

Expected return: 5 %

With 60 % globally diversified equities and 40 % bonds, this portfolio aims to avoid strong swings in value. Particularly suitable for conservative investors – and also for anyone still unsure whether they will need access to their savings in the short to medium term.

New 100 % equities · Sharia-compliant

Weltportfolio Halal

Expected return: 7 %

Our strategy for investors who want to build retirement provision according to Islamic investment principles. It invests 100 % in globally diversified equity ETFs tracking Sharia-compliant indices: excluded are, among other things, interest-based financial transactions as well as companies from areas such as alcohol, tobacco, gambling and defence. The screening follows recognised Islamic standards (e.g. AAOIFI) and is regularly reviewed by independent Sharia boards of the index providers. Conventional interest-bearing bonds are deliberately left out. More about the Weltportfolio Halal ↓

Investing sustainably? The World Portfolios Zielorientiert, Stabilität and Flexibilität are also available as an ESG variant – with a focus on the environment, social issues and good corporate governance.

A look inside the portfolio: how the World Portfolios are built

Every strategy combines the same building blocks – only the weighting differs. You additionally choose whether you invest conventionally or sustainably. The Weltportfolio Halal is a standalone portfolio with a single Sharia-compliant world ETF.

Weltportfolio Halal: retirement provision in line with your faith

Many Muslims in Germany face the same dilemma: providing for old age – but without interest-based transactions (riba) and without holdings in industries that are incompatible with their faith. With our Weltportfolio Halal (Islamic Finance) you no longer have to choose between return and values: you invest in equities with worldwide diversification – 100 % halal and Sharia-compliant.

Frequently asked questions about the Weltportfolio Halal

What does Sharia-compliant investing mean?

Sharia-compliant (halal) investing follows the rules of Islamic law: avoiding interest-based transactions (riba) and excessive speculation, as well as excluding companies from incompatible industries such as alcohol, tobacco, gambling, defence, pork processing and conventional financial services. In addition, financial ratio filters apply, for example regarding company debt.

Who makes sure that the Weltportfolio Halal stays halal?

The underlying MSCI World Islamic Index is monitored by an independent panel of Islamic scholars (Sharia board); the fund company BlackRock has also appointed its own Sharia committee for the iShares MSCI World Islamic ETF. The companies included are reviewed regularly and removed from the index in the event of breaches.

Is the Weltportfolio Halal only for Muslims?

No. The strategy is open to everyone who wants to invest in equities in a values-based way with worldwide diversification – for example also investors who want to avoid conventional financial stocks or certain industries on principle.

Do I get the same advantages with the Weltportfolio Halal as with the other strategies?

Yes. The strategy runs in the same ETF pension insurance: earnings remain tax-free during the savings phase, the tax advantages of the 12/62 rule apply, contributions can be flexibly adjusted from 50 € per month, and you can choose a lifelong annuity.

Why long-term investing pays off

The global equity market fluctuates in the short term – over the long term it has historically been the strongest engine of return for building wealth. That is exactly what all four strategies rely on.
