      2. PRSA (Personal Retirement Savings Account).
      3. Company Pension.
      4. Self Directed Pension.

Reasons why you need to take out a pension

      • The State Pension is currently €230.30 per week (€11,975.60 per annum). Would you and your family be able to live on this amount per year?
      • Tax Relief on your premiums. You are allowed to receive tax relief on the contributions you make into your pension plan. This means that as you contribute to the pension, the value of your contribution is enhanced by the tax you would ordinarily pay on your earnings. This is a great benefit!
      • Investment Options. As you contribute to your pension plan, we can make sure that we invest your fund in a suitable place for you. Depending on your attitude to risk and investing we can put your money where you are comfortable with
      • Retirement Options. When you reach retirement, you will have a range of options available to you. They include your tax free lump sum, your ability to have an annual income in retirement and your ability to re-invest your fund. These will depend on the type of pension you have.
