Since 2008, pension contributions have declined to a non-existent level; in fact, many believed that pensions were dead. However, over the last two years, pensions are being revived and many individuals are beginning to contribute once again. This is a sign that the economy has begun to improve. These contributions allow for investors to reduce their tax bill and invest in different types of investments.
Investing in property is an excellent way of diversifying your pension investments – but not property abroad – a property right here at home, in Ireland. Most Irish pension companies do not offer property funds and if they do they are generally abroad or in a pool of properties. This makes it difficult for the investor to be clear exactly where their money is invested. There are many options for the individual who wishes to invest their pension or part of their pension into property.
A self-administered pension is a solution that enables an individual to have the flexibility of investment in various assets and transparency of fees. It is now even easier and more affordable for individuals to start a self-administered pension under any pension structure – PRSA, AVC, SSAP, ARF, and AMRF. For example currently, Trillium is working with BV Commercial, which helps Trillium source properties, on a syndicated property investment. A syndicated investment allows investors to invest in commercial properties with smaller sums of money. If this is something that interests you contact me with no obligation and we can discuss the particulars of the self-administered pensions. Start reducing your tax bill today.
