Investment Planning

Use your working years to quietly build a serious asset.

Saving is what stops things going wrong. Investing is what makes things go right. We help you match the right money to the right strategy across your working life — and keep you in the seat when markets get loud.

What we cover

A structured plan for the money you don't need this year

01

Risk profiling

Honest, conversation-based risk assessment — capacity for loss, time horizon and experience. No single-question shortcuts.

02

Asset allocation

The mix of equities, bonds, property and cash that fits your goals — not a one-size house view.

03

Fund selection

Active vs passive, single-fund vs multi-asset, ESG screens. Selected on cost, mandate and process.

04

Tax wrappers

Pension, Section 72, Section 73, life-assurance bonds and direct equities — chosen for outcome, not commission.

05

Lump sums vs regular

When to drip-feed, when to deploy, and how to think about cash on the sidelines.

06

Behavioural coaching

The biggest investor returns are protected by not panicking. Half of our value is on the bad days.

Why structure matters

Investment returns are largely about behaviour, charges and time — in that order.

Most underperformance in Irish portfolios comes from three places: paying too much, switching at the wrong time, and being in the wrong wrapper for tax. A real investment plan addresses all three explicitly, in writing.

  • Charges compound — both ways

    A 1% difference in annual cost can mean 25%+ less wealth over 30 years.

  • Time in market beats timing

    The best 10 days each decade make up the bulk of returns. Missing them is fatal.

  • Tax is the silent partner

    DIRT, exit tax, CGT, USC — wrapper choice is at least as important as fund choice.
