I am a company director and have an executive pension plan with Quinn Life, to which the company contributes 100% (€1000 per month)
The pension is currently performing at -22% and it began at the start of 2007.
The split I have setup from the beginning is as follows
Celtic Freeway - 40% allocation, one year price = -45%
Euro Freeway - 40% allocation, one year price = -25%
China Freeway - 20% allocation, one year price = -15%
I realise that probably all pensions are losing money at the moment but should I either modify the allocation split or reduce payments until things pick up again, or alternatively just leave it alone as I am 32 and will not be seeing the return from the pension for nearly 30 years!
It is extremely disheartening to see that the policy is worth 7k less than I have put into it!
Thanks
