The age you feel is often up to 10 years younger than the age you actually are. This, at least, is the conclusion reached by the “50+ Research Group” at Osnabrück University.

The active lifestyles led by the “Silver Generation” are part of the reason why. You set yourself new sporting challenges or get more involved with your family. You collect art, go back to university and travel around the world.

More and more people of the “Silver Generation” are fit, self-assured and living energetic and exciting lives.

Many people in this phase of their lives deliberately set themselves new personal goals. You are young enough to take on new ideas and old enough to avoid making mistakes a second time. And finally, your experience means you know how to achieve goals effectively.

The real assets of this generation are intuition and the experience that en- ables you to do new things successfully. Your financial capital is often only a means to an end, allowing you to strike out boldly and happily in new directions.

The “young older generation” can see the bigger picture. You use your deep knowledge and experience of a fast-moving world to change our society’s values and standards in a sustainable and positive direction. Or in the service of your own ventures and plans for the future.

You know that you don’t know everything. And so you use similarly minded professional advisors and partners for your new projects, just as you do for your long-term financial planning and asset management.

Many of you will do something revolutionary again, and you want to make sure you are in a position to enjoy the best years of your life to the utmost.
