L'Enquête qui dérange sur l'Assurance-vie

Take control of your personal finances with Cayas → https://app.cayas.fr/signup Life insurance is the default reflex for the entire financial industry. But what happens when you lay out the numbers? Guillaume Flament, Chief Scientist at Cayas, conducted a detailed comparative study between life insurance and a standard brokerage account. His own conclusion surprised him and challenged his long-held beliefs. In this episode, we break down the two mechanisms that explain why brokerage accounts outperform in the vast majority of cases, identify the rare situations where life insurance still has an advantage, and ask a difficult question: in this ultra-complex tax system, who really wins? Spoiler alert: it's neither the saver nor the government. 👉 Subscribe so you don't miss any upcoming videos _____ 📌 RESOURCES: Study - Cayas outperforms a 100% MSCI World: https://cayas.fr/le-journal/msci-worl...
