Maturing Your Pension (20 second read)
If you intend to mature your pension soon why not talk to us. We work with all types of pensions and can advise you on your options.
Over 85% of the work we do is on pensions and retirement planning so whether you have a Defined Contribution pension or a Defined Benefit pension we can help.
Like many people you may wish to determine if your pension is going to be sufficient to fund your retirement and if there are any actions you need to take now. The most effective way to assess this is to model your finances using Cashflow Modelling. You can find out more about this here.
Key Issues When Maturing Your Pension
- Maximising your retirement lump sum.
- Your choices regarding the balance of your fund. In recent times many retirees have chosen to invest in Approved Retirement Funds. We can explain how ARF’s and Annuities operate, the pros and cons of each, and guide you in your choice.
- If you decide to invest in an ARF, we can recommend an investment and withdrawal strategy that will reduce investment risk and help to sustain your fund into the future.
Our service doesn’t end when we set up your pension. We’ll help you to manage your investment into the future in a manner that will increase how long your fund will last. Managing your investment post retirement is fundamentally different to managing it during your younger years. If you would like to understand this more fully please read this article.

Highfield Financial Planning in the Media
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 Sunday Times
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.
Sunday Independent
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?
