Actually all that the investment managers are being asked to do is to accept NAERSA as a unitholder. So €7m a year looks like money for old rope. As @Colm Fagan explains in #38 this is only a tiny part of the overhead costs of NAERSA.
a poster above mentioned if things go pear shaped
so would happen then to peoples contributions .does the government cover it ? especially if it happens just as you retire?
There's nothing to cover. People's contributions were spent years before to buy assets. When they come to draw down, the assets are sold and they get whatever the net proceeds are.
