Are you worried about the performance of your Pension Fund?

It’s very normal to feel worried about your pension, especially when markets are uncertain or retirement is approaching. We would like to give you a few practical tips that can help ease your mind and give you more control over your money.

You will possibly start to ask yourself questions such as:

Has my pension fallen in value?

Do I need to reduce the risk profile of my fund?

Should I switch into a cash fund until things settle down?

Are there possible high fees on my pension, making things even worse?

What impact will recent events have on my future income?

How exposed am I to more financial market volatility?

Here are some practical ways to review your pension.

Look at where you are now

Check the value of your pension and what funds it’s invested in. Review your most recent pension statement (or request one from your pension provider).

Understand what income you’ll need

Think about the lifestyle you want in retirement and estimate the income you’ll need each year. Compare that with what your pension is projected to give you.

Diversify & review your investments

If your pension is heavily invested in one area, it may carry more risk. Check if your investment mix is appropriate for your age and retirement goals.

Increase contributions if possible

Even small increases can have a big impact over time, especially with tax relief incentives available for pensions.

Get professional advice

A financial adviser can review your pension and give tailored recommendations. They can also check if you’re availing of all tax reliefs. The Revenue rules on pension schemes change, and it is important to have advice on this.  We would be happy to give you some advice over the phone.

Keep reviewing regularly

Set a reminder to check your pension once a year. This helps you feel in control without obsessing over short-term changes. Your pension advisor should be offering this service to you.
