Where to start when investing?
Regulated savings accounts (Livret A, LDDS) are often used for precautionary savings, available at any time. Life insurance and the PEA are generally considered for medium and long-term projects.
Is life insurance still interesting in 2026?
After 8 years, life insurance benefits from reduced taxation and a favourable framework for transmission (152,500 euros exempt per beneficiary for payments made before age 70).
How does the PER tax deduction work?
Payments into a PER can be deducted from taxable income, within limits. The higher the marginal tax rate, the greater the tax saving at the time of payment; the sums are taxed again on exit.
Can I invest without risk?
Livret A, LDDS and euro funds offer capital protection. Returns are limited but guaranteed.
