Given the multitude of savings options available (movable and immovable property investments, monetary investments, multi-asset investments, bonds, etc) and the number of investment companies offering their services, choosing "the" investment for you can easily become quite complicated.
Given the multitude of savings options available (movable and immovable property investments, monetary investments, multi-asset investments, bonds, etc) and the number of investment companies offering their services, choosing "the" investment for you can easily become quite complicated. This is true today more than ever before, as the financial markets have suffered sharp drops for the past year or so, with particularly heavy fluctuations observed since the beginning of this year.
Against this backdrop, Aviva Vie has launched its new website www.bonconseil.fr/, an information tool available to all savers wishing to learn and understand how to manage their savings better and make the right preparations for their retirement.
The site www.bonconseil.fr/ aims to guide savers objectively through their investment options, whilst providing them with all the information they need to understand the ins and outs of portfolio management.
With its three major subject areas- Choosing the Right Investment, Preparing for Your Retirement and Managing Your Portfolio- www.bonconseil.fr/ provides a wealth of practical information, clear definitions and explanations to ensure that all savers, whatever their personal circumstances, get a clear initial answer to the vast majority of the questions they may have.
www.bonconseil.fr/ is by no means intended as a substitute for the advice and support provided by a specialist adviser in pensions and portfolio management. For each of the three subject areas mentioned above, users are led through a series of screens to find out what kind of saver they are, how they might plan to start or improve the management of their portfolios and the best possible conditions for them to prepare for their retirement:

Find out your profile

Focus on life insurance
Preparing for Your Retirement
Take control of your finances

Aviva has placed its Good Advice approach at the centre of its strategy: customer support for the lifetime of the relationship, recommending the best possible investments for the customer's assets, depending on their objective and their investment horizon (which can be worked out using the Investor Profile), regularly making sure that the beneficiary clause is correctly worded and supporting the customer throughout their retirement preparations, by offering them a personalised pension assessment.
