Introduzione
Financial goals evolve throughout life, and so should your investment strategy. Recurring investments offer flexibility and structure that can be adapted to every stage, from early adulthood to retirement. This article outlines how recurring investing can support financial priorities at each life stage, with examples tailored to investors across Europe.
Young Professionals (Ages 20–34)
At the start of their careers, young professionals often have limited capital but a major advantage, time. This group can benefit the most from recurring investing thanks to the compounding effect over decades.
Key Objectives: Building an emergency fund, starting long-term savings, establishing financial discipline.
Suggested Approach:
- Set up low monthly contributions to ETFs or diversified stock portfolios
- Use automated investing to build a habit without manual effort.
- Consider focusing on growth-oriented assets with higher risk tolerance.
Example: A 25-year-old investing €150/month in MEXEM’s savings plan over 30 years could see significant long-term growth due to compounding returns and disciplined contributions.

Mid-Career Investors (Ages 35–49)
At this stage, some have higher income, greater financial responsibilities (mortgage, children), and more clarity about long-term goals.
Key Objectives: Saving for children’s education, mortgage payoff, and beginning retirement planning.
Suggested Approach:
- Increase monthly contributions as income grows.
- Diversify between equity and fixed-income assets to manage risk.
- Consider separate recurring plans for different financial goals.
Example: A 40-year-old contributes €300/month toward a retirement-focused portfolio and €150/month toward a child’s education fund using MEXEM’s automated savings tools.

Pre-Retirement Stage (Ages 50–64)
As retirement nears, capital preservation and income generation become a greater focus.
Key Objectives: Maximise retirement savings, reduce exposure to volatility, ensure liquidity for short-term needs.
Suggested Approach:
- Rebalance portfolios gradually, shifting toward dividend-paying stocks, bond ETFs, or other defensive assets.
- Consider increasing contributions if possible to make use of peak earning years.
- Focus on stability while continuing to invest regularly.
Example: A 55-year-old shifts 30% of their portfolio into conservative European bond funds while maintaining a €500/month contribution for 10 more years.

Retirees (65+)
Even in retirement, recurring investing can play a role in managing income and preserving capital, especially for those with a long life expectancy or generational wealth goals.
Key Objectives: Income generation, wealth preservation, estate planning.
Suggested Approach:
- Maintain moderate recurring contributions if income allows, or reinvest dividend income.
- Focus on low-risk, income-generating assets such as bond funds or dividend ETFs.
- Use recurring investing to support gradual drawdown strategies.
Example: A retired investor uses dividend income from a recurring investment portfolio to supplement pension payments while preserving capital.
