With effect from 19 March 2020 Irish Life is introducing a six-month notice period for all switching and encashments requests from the Property Funds.
This means any request to encash (fully or partially) or switch (fully or partially) from these Funds will be processed using the Fund prices at the end of the six month notice period from when the request was made. This does not apply to death claims or normal retirement benefit claims.
Women have to make sure they are not outflanked when it comes to getting a fair deal, writes Eithne Dunne
Women in Ireland start paying into their pension at about the same age as men, and direct, on average, the same proportion (11%) of their salary into it. Yet it is projected that, on retirement, their pots will be about €120,000 smaller than those of their male counterparts.
We are delighted to announce that Irish Life Staff Charities donated an incredible total of €365,000 to two Irish charities. The funds were raised throughout 2019 by employees through various fundraising initiatives undertaken and the amount was then matched by Irish Life to reach this final total.
Irish Life recently responded to a series of the consultation papers on pensions setting out our vision for a new retirement landscape for Ireland. We travelled to New Zealand to further review their KiwiSaver Auto Enrolement scheme.
