How it runs

From book analysis to completion, in eight steps.

  1. 01Adviser

    Analyse the book

    The adviser works through the Riester and pension book with the book-evaluation tools: who gains from switching into the Altersvorsorgedepot, and for whom it is not worth it. What comes out is a prioritised list rather than a mailshot.

    Book evaluation · quick subsidy comparison
    Book evaluation in the adviser portal: the hit list of the Riester book, each case showing the subsidy rate today and in the Altersvorsorgedepot, sorted by the advantage of switching.
    01 / 08 · Analyse the book

    Book evaluation with the quick subsidy comparison: Riester (old) against the Altersvorsorgedepot (new), sample data from the demo environment.

  2. 02Adviser

    Individual letters, sent automatically

    Out of that analysis the adviser sends individual letters automatically, each carrying the customer's own Riester-versus-AVD projection and a QR code that leads straight into their prepared journey and their personal AI adviser.

    Letter generator · preview
    The letter generator: the recipients selected out of the book analysis on the left, and on the right the preview of the letter with its personal projection and QR code.
    02 / 08 · Individual letters, sent automatically

    The individual letter with its projection and QR code. Allowance amounts under the AVRG.

  3. 03Customer

    The customer calls the AI adviser

    The customer scans the code or dials the number and asks their questions about the Altersvorsorgedepot, around the clock, in more than 50 languages. The assistant identifies itself as an AI, informs, and does not recommend.

    Handover into the prefilled journey

    Once the questions are answered, the voice AI hands over into the journey, prefilled with everything already known. No spelling out a name twice, no loss of context when the channel changes.

    Handover · prefilled journey
    The journey on the phone right after the handover from the voice conversation: name, contract position and number of children are already filled in, and the next step is marked.

  5. 05Customer

    Riester against AVD, calculated individually

    Inside the journey Xaver calculates the existing contract against the Altersvorsorgedepot: four options, scored and reasoned, including the honest recommendation to keep the contract where that is the better one.

    Riester-to-AVD switching service · result
    The four-option comparison on the phone: the recommendation at the top, then the four routes with their rating bars and a reason for each.

  6. 06Customer

    Advise and complete, Standarddepot or the full AVD

    The same journey runs through to completion: either straight into the Standarddepot, the standard account the act prescribes, or through full advice with a suitability statement into the complete Altersvorsorgedepot with its allowances.

    Completion journey · step 1 of 6
    The completion journey on the phone: the progress bar above the choice between the advised route and the Standarddepot.
    06 / 08 · Advise and complete, Standarddepot or the full AVD

    Both routes start in the same flow, the advised route additionally checks what fits.

  7. 07Adviser + customer

    Handover to the personal adviser

    Where the customer wants a human, or the case calls for one, the personal adviser takes over, with the full context in the advisory co-pilot: conversation frame, contract position and advice documentation are already there.

    Advisory co-pilot · handover
    The advisory co-pilot at the moment of handover: the framing details out of the journey on the left, and on the right the advice documentation continuing to write itself.
    07 / 08 · Handover to the personal adviser

    The co-pilot takes over the context and keeps the advice documentation running alongside the conversation.

  8. 08Adviser + customer

    Completion in one joint appointment, in 15 minutes

    In the joint appointment the Riester switch and the AVD completion are both started. Because everything is prefilled and the process is digitally supported end to end, this is a matter of minutes rather than an afternoon.

    Adviser portal · joint appointment
    The joint appointment in the adviser portal: subsidy, profile and contract position side by side, with the actions for the Riester switch and the AVD completion below.
    08 / 08 · Completion in one joint appointment, in 15 minutes

    In the adviser portal the subsidy, the profile and the journey are already there, the appointment confirms and completes.

AVD Bridging Product
Available since September 2026

Entry before the cut-off date: the AVD Bridging Product comes in two versions. The money-market version invests in a low-volatility EUR money-market fund, the invested version implements the allocation of the later AVD line ahead of launch. The Bridging Product is not itself an AVD product, carries no subsidy while it is held, and the transfer from January 2027 is not automatic. Money-market funds are not deposits; the invested version carries full market risk from day one.

AVD Garantie: the guarantee is a contractual product feature of the partner insurer, which undertakes to make at least the agreed amount available at the agreed date. It is not a statement about performance.

Next development: the private-markets booster as a building block for AVD Premium, already being built.

End frame: a ring “portfolio + booster” in blues and greys with a teal segment “private markets”; on the left the line that private markets as an admixture in the retirement account open asset classes that used to be reserved for institutional investors, and three points: extra diversification beyond listed markets, a building block in selected strategies, steered in each customer's lifecycle model; footnote: illustration, share, implementation and availability vary by strategy.
