Common Queries & FAQ’s

Why should I invest rather than just save in a deposit account?

While savings accounts offer security and easy access, they typically provide lower returns. Investing allows your money to grow over time, often outpacing inflation, and can provide higher returns depending on the level of risk you’re comfortable with.

What investment options do you offer?

We offer a wide range of investment solutions, including:

  • Regular savings plans
  • Lump sum investments
  • Investment bonds
  • Ethical and sustainable investment options.

How do I know which investment is right for me?

Our financial advisors will assess your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment timeline to tailor a plan that suits your needs. Whether you are saving for retirement, a home, or general wealth growth, we provide personalised guidance.

What is risk tolerance, and why is it important?

Risk tolerance refers to how comfortable you are with market fluctuations. Higher-risk investments can provide higher returns but may be more volatile, while lower-risk options are more stable but may offer lower returns. Understanding your risk tolerance helps in choosing the right investment strategy.

How much do I need to start investing?

This depends on the investment type. Some savings plans allow you to start with as little as €100 per month, while lump sum investments may require a minimum of €10,000.

Can I access my money if I need it?

It depends on the investment. Some savings plans allow flexible access, while others may have a minimum investment period or early withdrawal penalties. We can help you find an option that balances growth with accessibility.

What are the tax implications of investing in Ireland?

Investments are subject to tax depending on the type of asset. For example:

  • Deposit Interest Retention Tax (DIRT) applies to savings accounts.
  • Exit Tax (41%) applies to certain investment funds.
  • Pension investments offer tax advantages, such as tax relief on contributions.

How do I get started?

You can book a consultation with one of our financial advisors. We’ll assess your financial situation, discuss your goals, and recommend a tailored savings and investment plan.
