To prepare for your retirement, you can invest in a PER (Retirement Savings Plan), which offers you the possibility of building up a pension supplement. It is possible to envisage an individual PER, accessible to all, a collective PER for the employees of a company or even a mandatory PER, which can be created for these same employees. This investment is particularly recommended for the self-employed and workers with high incomes.
Life insurance is also an interesting investment to protect your savings in anticipation of your retirement. It allows you to invest and benefit from tax advantages after eight years.

This will allow you to amortize up to 90% of the price of your investment. Finally, do not forget the SCPIs, which will offer you a qualitative heritage, easily transferable, and which will give you regular income.
