Hi, we’re Pensionfriend! Our mission is
To Help People Build a Safe and Sound Financial Future
We help people make the best of Germany's Pension System by making the impact of pension and other investment choices as concrete and tangible as possible.
How it started
In 2018, Nick, Pavel and Chris started Hypofriend. Since its inception, Hypofriend has helped thousands of Germans and Expats across Germany to find and finance their home.
During that time, we faced many questions that revolved around financial advice
Is buying a house enough for our
financial future? Or should we
save more?

We bought a house.

Can you help us make sense

Should I invest my full down
payment in the house? If not,

Should I rather invest in ETFs

As we answered these questions, over and over again we realized that we kept on stumbling upon the same points:
Customers need a low-cost investment vehicle
Customers need clarity on their pensions
Customers need clarity on what solutions are best
We are commited to your future, so that you can retire with confidence
As we grow older and older, having a good income in old age is more and more important:
We help you forecast your pension and how much you need for a safe future.
We show you the pension impact of early retirement and house buying decisions, as these are essential for your planning.
The German pension system is complex, and has many options that are hard to compare:
We sift through the forest of options so we can identify what options are relevant in the prevailing market conditions.
We calculate the impact of the options, so they are comparable, and you can assess their benefits and their impact on your future income.
Investment choices are complex and overwhelmingly numerous:
We have compared all the key indices against the longest data series available to bring you the most relevant and best choices.
We are transparent in terms of cost and unbiased in our recommendations.
