INVESTMENTS & SAVINGS   KNOW ALL THE RISKS

Regular Saver:

We all know that saving for a rainy day or a specific life event is something we should all be doing. Wouldn’t it be nice to know you had a savings pot building up for your children’s education, a new car or that dream holiday you’ve always wanted to go on. 

There are many options for savings these days, An Post, the bank and the Credit Union. But what return are you getting on your money? In most cases not very much. The various life companies that we deal with offer an alternative option to a normal savings account. With a life company savings plan you can save as little as €75 per month and invest in a specific fund or selection of funds that match your needs. 

Would you prefer to leave your money on deposit in your bank making 0.5% return per year? Or would you like to pick a fund with the potential to return 5%-10% per year?

Call us today to book a free consultation and find out more about putting your savings to work.

Children’s Savers:

With the cost of education rising every year how much do you think it will cost to send your child to college? Would you be surprised to find out that it could be €5,000 to €10,000 per year depending on what college and where they live whilst in college? If you look at that over a four-year term, it could cost as much as €40,000 for your child to get a third level qualification. But where does that €40,000 come from? 

By setting up a regular savings policy, getting there can be easier than you think. Take a look at the scenario below:

David and Mary have had their first child Sean. They have decided to start saving for his education straight away and have opted to save the children’s allowance each month. 

They save the children’s allowance of €140 per month for 17 years. If they invest this amount in a fund that returns on average 5% per year and has an annual management fee of 1.25% per year, they could see their €140 per month build up to a pot of €39,164. Now that €40,000 needed to pay for college seems a bit more achievable. 

Investment Bond:

An Investment Bond is a single premium investment made with one of the various life companies that we hold agencies with. With an Investment Bond you can invest in a single fund or a range of funds. These funds are generally mutli asset funds which are comprised of equities, bonds, cash and other alternative investments such as gold and metals. Investment Bonds are a medium to long term investment.
