Saving and investing for your goals

The right plan depends on what you're saving for, how long you can leave your money and how much risk you're comfortable with.

Before recommending anything, we look at your attitude to risk and how much you could afford to lose, then explain your options clearly before you decide.

Who it suits

  • People saving regularly towards a goal
  • Anyone with a lump sum, such as savings, an inheritance or a redundancy payment
  • Parents and grandparents saving for children
  • People planning how to pass on wealth

Ways to save and invest

  • Regular savings plans

    Put a set amount aside each month into funds that match your goals and your attitude to risk.

  • Lump sum investments

    Invest a lump sum for the medium to long term, spread across funds with the level of risk that suits you.

  • A cash reserve

    Money you might need soon is usually better kept on deposit. We'll help you decide how much to keep aside before you invest.

  • Planning for your family

    Save for your children's future or plan how to pass on wealth, including policies that can help with gift or inheritance tax.

  • Warning: The value of your investment may go down as well as up.
  • Warning: If you invest in this product you may lose some or all of the money you invest.
  • Warning: Past performance is not a reliable guide to future performance.

Common questions

Should I save or invest?

Keep money you might need soon in savings. Investing can suit money you can leave for the medium to long term, as long as you're comfortable that its value can fall as well as rise.

Can I take money out of an investment?

Most plans allow it, but some have early encashment charges or are designed to be held for a number of years. We'll explain the terms before you commit.

How are investment gains taxed?

It depends on the investment. For example, gains on investment funds from Irish life companies are usually subject to exit tax rather than capital gains tax. We'll explain how your options are taxed before you invest.

What does attitude to risk mean?

It's how comfortable you are with the value of your money going up and down. We'll talk it through with you, along with how much you could afford to lose.
