Passive Income Through Financial Investments: Four Strategies Presented by Handelsblatt
Handelsblatt published on August 7, 2026, an article by Markus Hinterberger presenting four strategies for generating passive income through financial investments: bonds, dividend-paying stocks, stock call options, and high-yield distribution ETFs. According to Michael Huber, Germany director of VZ Group, a Swiss financial services provider founded in 1993 and headquartered in Zug, living exclusively from one's investments is only possible for a minority—major heirs, business founders, or successful inventors. For most salaried employees, passive income serves as a supplement to salary or retirement rather than a complete income substitute.
