Episode Description
In this week's podcast, I talk about investing your pension at 50.
Turning 50 is a wake-up call for your pension.
It’s not about panic - it’s about planning smart.
Here’s what matters most:
Key Points:
• At 50, your goals shift — you’re closer to retirement, but growth still counts.
• Review your pension funds now: what’s in equities, bonds, or cash?
• Rebalance gradually.
• Diversify — global funds, low costs, and no guesswork.
• Check old company pensions. Consolidate only if it saves on fees or boosts control.
• Understand your tax position — up to 25% tax-free lump sum (max €200k).
• Know your retirement routes: ARF for flexibility, annuity for certainty.
• Independent financial planning helps avoid big mistakes — and stress!
I hope it helps.
