It might also be more uncomfortable and embarrassing to turn down friends and relati...

Chief Executive Officer Juraj Hrbatý says its PEPP has around €11m in assets under management and is currently only available to savers in four member states. “After one year of seriously running, we had around 5000 customers,” Hrbatý told Euronews. “It's less than we expected.” By his own admission, his newcomer company is, in the context of the bloc’s trillion-euro pensions industry, still just “peanuts, nobody”. At the time PEPP was launch...
