Old Pensions
Many people leave pensions behind in old employer schemes after moving jobs. This isn’t optimal as pension administration companies will tell you that engagement with old pensions falls dramatically once the employment ends. If you want to secure the lifestyle you deserve in retirement, staying actively involved with your pension is essential.
One way to do this is by transferring your old pension into a product in your own name. This simple step can give you far greater transparency and flexibility when planning for your future.

The Sunday Times
In the sport of target pistol shooting there is a saying, “slow is smooth, smooth is fast”, which refers to the way to approach drawing and firing a pistol quickly and accurately. The learner shooter who focuses on practising the correct technique slowly, only building in speed later, will win the day nine times out of ten.
The Sunday Independent
A pension is a term that can seem distant to many, especially if you’re at the beginning of your career. But it is a vital part of long-term financial planning, designed to provide you with a source of income in your retirement years. As the pension landscape continues to evolve, understanding the fundamentals and staying informed about the changes is crucial. So, what do you need to know?
The Sunday Times
I have been sitting on about €140,000 in my current account for the past year. It’s what was left over when I sold a property. I keep reading about inflation and how banks are paying no interest and might start paying negative interest, and so on.
The Sunday Times
Would-be investors have a difficult decision to make when considering their options. If they are going to increase their wealth, they will need, at a minimum, to beat inflation and whatever they are paying in charges.

The phrase “Morton’s fork” can be traced back to the time of King Henry VII in the 15th century, when John Morton, then the Archbishop of Canterbury and lord chancellor, rationalised that a tax levied by the king was just.

Q I HAVE €150,000 which I want to invest for between 10 and 15 years — with a view to using it to fund my retirement in the future. I’m 50 years old. I am interested in property investment and had considered using the lump sum to buy a property outright.
The Sunday Times
If I asked 10 people on the street how long they thought pensions had existed, what do you think they would say? Since the 1960s, the formation of the state, or Victorian times?
