How much is this going to cost me?

Here’s the good news, we are paid by the pension providers; you do not have to write a cheque! 

 With all pensions there is a management fee associated with managing the fund. This is deducted from the respective pension at source. 

You have moved on, but has your pension?

Busy professionals across Ireland are changing jobs but often leave their pension behind.
We specialise in helping our clients take back control of their pension savings from their ex-employers.

5 Steps to Securing Your Own Pension

It all begins with a quick chat with no obligation

Step 1 - Track down your old pensions

We help you find and trace your old pensions. We liaise with all the major pension companies. You may have pensions you might not even know about! 

Step 2 - Present options

We clearly spell out what your options are for your old pensions and advise on which route is most suitable.

Step 3 - Choose pension strategy

Our expertise helps you choose the right investment and strategy. We will send you our risk assessment tool and a brief form to help us guide you to a suitable pension strategy.

Step 4 - Formal advice

Just before we submit the paperwork with your new pension, we spell out in plain English why this is a suitable option for you and the associated costs and fees. Nothing is set in stone until you are comfortable with everything and sign off on this advice.

Step 5 - New Pension Setup

We setup your new pension that you can access from age 50. We will then check in with you annually to ensure that the pension strategy is still suitable and appropriate

A word from our clients

“I was very taken that Will took such care to ensure that my retirement needs would be met under any new plan we made, and took a very holistic view of my plans and incorporated them into the strategy fo my future planning- it was not just about me in this moment, but “future me” in a responsible and ethical way. 

The communication and feedback in terms of customer service and follow up is impeccable. Fast and efficient and all three of the people I’ve dealt with in this company have been friendly, spoke plain English and made sure I was happy and comfortable with everything before we moved forward. 

Pension and retirement planning stopped being words on a page or a nag in the back in my head, and became a partnership with people who had the skills and knowledge to work with my wishes to make them a reality.”
