Overview
- Schrowange, who spoke to the BBBanking Kundenmagazin this week, admitted she once "gambled" by buying internet stocks during the Dotcom bubble and that the losses taught her a lasting lesson.
- She now keeps only a very small budget for deliberate risks while the bulk of her money is invested for the long term in a mix of ETFs and actively managed funds.
- At 68, Schrowange prioritizes capital preservation and steady income, saying dividends and regular returns matter more than chasing maximum growth.
- She confirms she has drawn up a will and a prenuptial agreement to create clear inheritance rules for her patchwork family and to reduce the chance of disputes.
- Her story echoes a broader lesson from the Dotcom era that many retail investors moved toward diversified, lower‑volatility strategies and may prompt more public talk about simple safeguards like wills and diversified funds.
