What Our Customers Say

Jan Van Leeuwen, Director with IQ Digital Signage Ltd. Life Goals have provided us with excellent advice and service. I would recommend them unconditionally

Ger O Byrne, Product Manager, An Post We have dealt with Life Goals for a number of years and during that time have received advice on a multitude of Pension & Investment options. In that time, we have always received good solid advice. We have full confidence in our Consultant's opinion and product knowledge whenever we are looking for Life Assurance or Investment advice. If we are interested in specific products, our Consultant researches many options and provide a detailed comparison of each, explaining the pros & cons. He meets us at our convenience and we prefer the personal touch rather than dealing directly with larger companies. I would highly recommend the services & advice provided by Life Goals.

Nicky and Wayne McDonnell July 2102 I would just like to thank Life Goals for preparing us and arranging our life assurance, after some awful dealings with a previous company who had failed to complete our requests as instructed, we were therefore not feeling encourage by the industry. Life Goals changed this and I am thankful to them for ensuring our childrens security should the need ever arise. Everything was explained and being truly independent we felt no pressure to choose a certain product provider. I would fully recommend Life Goals to anyone as they have provided an excellent service to me and my family and we will certainly be dealing with Life Goals again in the future. Kind regards

Billy Griffin, Director - Artisan Image Solutions Ltd. Life Goals have worked extremely hard to organise a pension backed mortgage for me and secured finance that I don't believe I would have secured elsewhere. They are trustworthy, honest and of the highest integrity. I would highly recommend Life Goals to any prospective client. October, 2009

Having such a policy in place was of great benefit in my recovery.
 
I would definitely recommend Life Goals to my family & friends. Their Consultants are personable, understanding and hardworking.

When you use your pension fund to purchase an income, it is called an annuity

 

Buying an Annuity

  • Annuities can be purchased from all of the major life insurance companies
     
  • There is an "open market" option and this means that you are not restricted to purchasing the annuity from the company where you built the pension fund

 

Different types of Annuities
 

For example,

  • Many people buy annuities that provide an ongoing income for their spouse in case the spouse lives longer
     
  • Some may have indexation options
     
  • There are other options that would be discussed and depend on personal circumstances

 

 

Annuity Suitability


An annuity may suit your post retirement income needs if: 
 

  • You would like to be certain of an income for you an your spouse
     
  • You do not want to take risks with your fund and invest in an ARF where the value could fall

 


Annuity Summary
 

  • Annuity planning strategies are closely linked to future income requirements at retirement day
     
  • Considerations of an Annuity as an Option can always be in advance and then executed at retirement
  • Important to keep options flexible until the decision has to be made
