Hi All,
I had a quick look back through discussions in the pensions forum but I could not find what I was looking for - apologies in advance if I missed it.
My question is around investment strategy based on age/no of years to retirement. I currently have 2 pension plans with Irish Life:
1. My active DC plan , fund value €94,756. Monthly contributions 5% me & 5% employer, 5% AVC which totals €1,468 p/m
2. Unit linked PRB, fund value €8,683.65
1. Active pension investment breakdown:
€12,264.43 - EMPOWER Growth Fund - risk rating 4
€82,492.50 - EMPOWER High Growth fund - risk rating 5
I'm 46 years old so surely another 20 years to retirement. Should someone of my age be investing in higher risk investments or staying as I am. I can't seem to figure this out by my research.
Any advice would be appreciated.
