A personal pension is a retirement savings plan that allows you to make contributions on a regular or one-off basis. Your contributions are then invested with the goal of building a pension pot that will provide you with an income in retirement. As a flexible option for those who are self-employed or without access to a company pension scheme, a personal pension can help you secure your financial future. It’s important to choose the right plan and investment strategy for your needs, so talk to us today to ensure you make the most of your personal pension.

A PRSA is a Personal Retirement Savings Account that can help you save for your retirement. These investment accounts allow you to invest your savings in a range of funds through your account, providing you with flexibility and choice when it comes to retirement planning.

If your employer doesn’t offer a company pension scheme, they are required to provide you with access to a standard PRSA, which is regulated by the Irish government. Make sure you get the most out of your PRSA by contacting us today.

A personal retirement bond (PRB), also known as a ‘buy-out bond’, is a personal pension contract that’s designed to receive transfer payments from an occupational pension scheme.

With a PRB, you can maintain control over your pension and enjoy the flexibility of choosing where and how to invest your funds. Chat to us today to ensure you understand the risks and benefits of a PRB and that it’s the right choice for your retirement goals.

To avoid this situation, it’s important to take control of your retirement planning and set up your own pension.
