A common recommendation is to set aside three to six months’ worth of disposable income in readily accessible accounts (such as a Livret A, LDD, or current account) for unexpected expenses. However, any amount exceeding this reserve should be invested with inflation’s impact on idle savings in mind.
With the Livret A rate at 1.75% and inflation at approximately 2% at the end of 2025, readily available savings are failing to generate a return and are, in fact, decreasing in value.
Financial markets offer a valuable tool for portfolio diversification, particularly for individuals who already own their primary residence. Unlike income-generating real estate, these markets provide daily liquidity and allow for investment in assets with varying degrees of volatility, depending on the investor’s time horizon. Investment can be made either directly in equities or through funds.
