The year 2025 promises to be a pivotal period for French savers. With the announced drop in the Livret A rate, many investors are turning to new solutions to optimize their investments. Let's look together at the most promising alternatives to secure and grow your savings.
The new champions of secure savings in 2025
Faced with the reduction in the yield of the Livret A, several options are available to savers wishing to preserve their capital while obtaining attractive gains:
- The Popular Savings Booklet (LEP)
- Life insurance in euro funds
- Civil Real Estate Investment Companies (SCPI)
The Popular Savings Account stands out thanks to its attractive remuneration. Although its rate is expected to fall in 2025, it should remain higher than that of the Livret A. Reserved for households whose reference tax income is below a certain threshold, the LEP offers a maximum security thanks to the State guarantee.
L’life insurance in euro funds constitutes an interesting alternative for savers looking for a secure product. Despite slightly lower returns, it offers capital protection and stable performance. It is crucial to compare management fees between different contracts to maximize your gains.
THE SCPI allow you to benefit from the advantages of real estate without the constraints of direct management. With average returns of 4.5% and up to 11%, they far outperform the Livret A. But, keep in mind that your funds will be locked up over a long period.
Strategies to diversify your savings in 2025
Diversification remains the key to balanced savings. Here are some ways to wisely distribute your investments:
| Type of investment | Benefits | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| Bond and money market funds | Low risk, liquidity | Limited returns |
| LDDS | Support for sustainable projects | Yield similar to Livret A |
| Mix of euro/SCPI/bond funds | Risk/return balance | Management complexity |
THE bond and money market funds offer a short-term solution with minimal risk. Although their return is limited by the fall in key rates, they can be more attractive when integrated into a life insurance contract.
The Sustainable and Solidarity Development Booklet (LDDS) shares the characteristics of Livret A while supporting ecological initiatives. Combining an LDDS with an LEP can be wise for optimize your regulated savings.
A balanced diversification strategy could include a mix of euro funds, bonds and SCPIs. This approach maximizes returns while spreading risks. It is essential to adapt this strategy to your investor profile and your liquidity needs.
Rethink your savings to preserve your purchasing power
Faced with economic changes, it is crucial to review your savings strategy to maintain its purchasing power. Retirees, particularly concerned by these issues, may be interested in specific assistance that could improve their daily lives.
It is useful to specify that the taxation plays a crucial role in the net return on your investments. For example, life insurance benefits from favorable taxation after eight years of ownership. Likewise, the survivor's pension and its calculation can be influenced by the composition of your assets.
In 2025, savers will have to demonstrate flexibility and adaptability. Closely monitoring changes in rates and market conditions will be essential to adjust your savings strategy. Do not hesitate to consult a financial advisor to personalize your approach and make the most of the new secure investments available.
