Once again, I want to draw your attention to the fact that investments are always a risk of losing some of the money. For example, in 2008, MSCI World lost 40% in a year, and in 1986, on the contrary, it grew by 43%. When investing for a short time, you may not be lucky and you will only lose some of the money. But even investments for 5 or even 10 years were not always profitable. If you had invested in MSCI World at the worst moment in the history of the index - before the dot-com crisis in 2000, then your portfolio would have shown a loss for 13 years. But even with this most unfortunate scenario, in 15 years your portfolio would grow by 50%. Therefore, consider an investment horizon of at least 15 years. In the next article I will tell
how to choose a broker in Germany.
