Continuity, community and innovation

50 years of the future

The past 50 years show that the business model followed by Deutsche Vermögensberatung (DVAG) is convincing. And, looking ahead to the decades to come, it is also clear that the concept of taking a holistic financial advisory approach is optimally suited to the requirements of the future. 

When faced with the innovative strength, courage and foresight brought by the family-owned company, tomorrow's world offers both the company and the financial advisors great opportunities to secure and further expand their success.

The factor for success with a holistic financial advisory approach

The world of finance and insurance is becoming increasingly complex. As a result, expectations regarding advice on topics like retirement provision, financial planning and financial protection will also increase in the future. By taking a holistic financial advisory approach, financial advisors are ideally positioned to respond to these developments: they offer their clients holistic and personalised financial advice. Based on comprehensive analysis of their personal finances, advisors develop a viable plan for the future that reflects the personal ideas, dreams and life situations of clients. This is what characterises the quality of a holistic financial advisory approach and also means that its importance will continue to grow in the future.

Diversity as the basis for economic success

Diversity is and remains one of the key factors for success for DVAG: people from all age groups and over 50 different nationalities work here. They all have the same career opportunities and contribute their perspectives and experiences to their work as financial advisors. That not only makes the company more innovative but also promotes a deep understanding of clients' needs and goals. The results are sustainable client relationships and a strong foundation for corporate success.

Future-proof financial advice and sensible application

Germany's social systems are already facing overwhelming issues nowadays. The risk of poverty in old age and looming gaps in medical care are a concern for young and old alike. Many people recognise that private pension provision for their own health and financial protection in retirement is unavoidable. The question is no longer “if”, but “how”. The financial advisors support people from all walks of life in making the right decisions in these important smart decisions. And while many banks are continuously reducing the number of their branches, Deutsche Vermögensberatung (DVAG) is taking a different approach. It continues to rely on having regional ties and a local presence.

Meeting the demands of the young generation

The concept of New Work is shaping the working world of tomorrow. Employees crave autonomy and self-determination, as well as flexibility and community, and they want their work to be meaningful. The job of a financial advisor at Deutsche Vermögensberatung (DVAG) offers all of this. The family-owned company fosters entrepreneurial performance, freedom and personal responsibility. A transparent promotion and remuneration model offers every financial advisor the same career opportunities, regardless of gender, age or background.

Thanks to their independence, the financial coaches can work flexibly and have the opportunity to build their own teams. They benefit from a strong service company at their back that offers them state-of-the-art sales support and responds to changes with agility.

Driver of innovation for customer service

Artificial intelligence (AI) will continue to have a decisive influence on the financial services sector in the future. At DVAG, however, new technologies do not compete with people but support the financial advisors with their work and create time and space for their core activity: financial advice. That is why DVAG will continue to benefit from its own innovative strength and continuously invest in new technologies and processes in the future. Not just to keep pace, but rather to actively shape the market. With the aim of further developing the personal financial advice provided to clients by financial advisors, Deutsche Vermögensberatung (DVAG) has always played a pioneering role in technical progress.

Regulatory initiatives and volatile markets

Deutsche Vermögensberatung (DVAG) is celebrating its 50-year anniversary this year. For half a century, the focus of its business has been long-term success, and thanks to a forward-looking strategy, the family-owned company is in an optimal position to face the future. DVAG therefore has the know-how to meet challenges that arise, for example, from regulatory initiatives from the political and business communities.

It is also prepared for potentially volatile market changes. There is always the possibility that these will lead to a change in the outlook for investment and pension strategies. Thanks to their excellent training, our financial advisors are able to respond flexibly and act in the interests of their clients.

Our mission statement and our goals

Deutsche Vermögensberatung AG (DVAG) has enjoyed success in the financial sector for 50 years. Prof. Dr Reinfried Pohl (1928-2014) embodied the vision and values that still guide our actions today. Andreas Pohl and Reinfried Pohl have been continuing and expanding this success story since 2014. As part of these endeavours, our identity as a market leader is steadily guiding us into the future.

Today, the company is in an excellent position.

Who we are

Deutsche Vermögensberatung (DVAG) has been synonymous with pension provision for 50 years. The company is extremely successful and has had many record years. The basis for this is the business model of taking a holistic financial advisory approach. These award-winning financial advisory services offer customised solutions for financial planning, financial protection and pension provision for everyone. This is because DVAG financial coaches work independently of sales targets and thus have the freedom to develop individual concepts to suit the different life situations and varying goals of their clients. They place particular emphasis on providing holistic, long-term financial advice on an equal footing.

A lifelong partnership

It is important to remember that financial decisions are not set in stone. After all, life changes and so do the requirements for financial protection and pension provision. Financial coaches therefore support their clients through all phases of their life, which means in good times as well as in bad. In order to offer their clients this added value, the financial coaches have extensive expertise and excellent knowledge of the market. Deutsche Vermögensberatung (DVAG) places great value on high-quality training and continuing education. As the leading independent financial advisory service with a holistic financial advisory approach in Germany, DVAG invests over €80 million annually in the training and continuing education of its self-employed financial advisors. This ensures that they are always up to date and can continue to meet their self-imposed mission of taking a holistic financial advisory approach at the highest quality in the future.

I have been advising clients at DVAG for over forty years now. Together with my partners, I support them through all of life's situations and accompany them through their different stages of life. That is exactly what our job is all about: loyalty, consistency and trust.

Competent partners with an important mission

In recent years, the demand for competent financial planning has steadily increased. Rising living costs, triggered by geopolitical crises, present many people with financial challenges. One example is retirement provision: for many people, the state pension is not enough to maintain their standard of living in old age. Private pension provision is therefore essential, but the many options available do not make it easy. The situation is similar for financial protection. While health insurance is compulsory in Germany, and most people also have personal liability insurance, the situation is different for private accident insurance. Therefore, many people rightly ask themselves: what do you really need and what makes sense?

Financial advisors know that this depends heavily on an individual's life situation as well as their personal wishes and goals. That is why our financial advisors determine the needs of each individual, particularly in the areas of financial protection, retirement provision and financial planning, and analyse the available options. Personal financial advice and direct dialogue with clients are invaluable in this process. That is why the family-owned company has always relied on taking a personal financial advisory approach locally, thereby bucking the trend of branch closures that is so prevalent in the banking world, for example.
