And finally... start making cents

Christoph Waltz

Allianz has teamed up with actor Christoph Waltz to help people better prepare for their financial future through its new “Start Making Cents” social media series.

The six-part social media series shows Waltz performing seemingly random actions, which just so happen to be visual, easy-to-understand metaphors for financial topics. With this new series, Allianz aims to help people become better prepared to enter the world of investing by simplifying a topic that’s often seen as unapproachable and complicated.

Chairman of the Board of Management (CEO) at Allianz, Oliver Bäte, said: “At Allianz, we want to help people manage their money, so that it goes further, lasts longer, and enhances their quality of life. We believe financial literacy is critical in this effort.



“We are excited to partner with Christoph to raise awareness of this important issue and bring the topics to life through his insights and humour.”

In his unique, characteristic way, Waltz eats Spaghetti Bolognese in a white suit, builds DIY furniture, packs a suitcase, patiently shaves wool sweaters, follows a strict skincare routine, and deals with bees. All to help understand the basics of investing.

Mr Waltz says: “It’s very useful and important to know how to handle money. If you are like me starting a degree in business is not really an option. Thankfully there are other means to acquire some of the necessary knowledge.

“Far more accessible, easier to approach and relate to. Our little series for Allianz seems like an ideal platform. After all - the story of your money is about you.”
