Pensions

What is a pension?

A pension is a long-term savings plan that helps you save for your future.

Unlike a regular savings account, money invested in your pension can earn important tax breaks. And when you retire and look for access to your fund, the benefits can be available in a tax efficient way.

Why take out a pension?

These days we are living longer than previous generations. In fact, most of us can now look forward to 20 or even 30 years of retirement.

A pension can help you plan for these years – whether you want to retire to the country, travel, or spend time with your grandchildren.

Here at O’Sullivan Insurances we can help you to find the right pension regardless of your employment status, we can help you choose the type of pension that works for you.

What your pension will be worth?

The value of your pension at retirement depends on how much you can afford to put away each month, the length of time you are making contributions, the type of pension plan you select and the investment return. One thing we know is that the sooner you start a pension, the bigger it should grow.
