This episode focuses on a pivotal demographic, those in the prime of their careers, between the ages of 35 and 50, in a phase that is often underestimated but crucial: middle age. Phase which is often considered a period of stability but is actually one of the most strategic times to review one's pension choices, experts discuss the critical importance of optimizing pension plans to ensure long-term financial wellbeing.

Moderated by Davide Mosca, Editor-in-Chief of FocusRisparmio, the discussion brought together a distinguished panel of experts:

  • Vania Franceschelli, Chairperson of FECIF and Wealth Advisor at Allianz Bank FA

  • Federico Quarato, journalist and founder of Klear

  • Claudia Segre, President of the Global Thinking Foundation ETS

Throughout the conversation, Mrs. Franceschelli emphasized the vital role of independent financial advisers and intermediaries in guiding individuals during this decisive life stage. Her intervention underlined FECIF’s ongoing commitment to promoting financial literacy, retirement planning, and consumer protection, while highlighting the indispensable contribution of our members to Europe’s financial ecosystem.
