How do I start saving and investing my money?

Saving and investing money in Ireland is a prudent step toward financial stability and future growth. Whether you have a lump sum to invest or are considering regular savings, it’s important to understand the country’s legal and regulatory landscape governing financial activities.

For individuals with a lump sum, investing in diverse assets such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can offer opportunities for growth over time. In Ireland, investors should familiarize themselves with regulations enforced by the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI), which oversees financial institutions and securities markets to ensure investor protection and market stability.

Regular savings accounts are a common option for building emergency funds or saving for short-term goals. In Ireland, savings accounts offered by banks and credit unions are regulated by the Central Bank, which sets standards to safeguard depositors’ funds and ensure fair treatment of consumers.

Furthermore, opening accounts with specific purposes, such as a children’s college fund or retirement account, can provide tax advantages and tailored investment options. For example, the Irish government offers tax-efficient savings vehicles like the Personal Retirement Savings Account (PRSA) and the Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) grant scheme for higher education expenses.

When considering investment options, it’s essential to conduct thorough research and seek advice from qualified financial advisors who understand the Irish regulatory framework. Additionally, staying informed about changes in tax laws, investment regulations, and consumer protections can help individuals make informed decisions about their financial future.

By adhering to Irish legislation and regulations, individuals can confidently navigate the financial landscape, make informed investment choices, and work toward achieving their long-term financial goals while complying with legal requirements.

Myself and my husband dealt with Richard Westman for our life insurance policy. I'm not sure I can even give this man the justice he deserves with words. I have honestly never come across such a genuinely kind, caring, patient, non-judgemental, courteous man. He made the whole process so simple and easy, giving us all the information we needed without having to question him about anything. Richard went a step beyond to help us get the best policy at a budget we could afford. I highly recommend requesting Richard if you are ringing to look for a quote.

Look no further than lowquotes.ie. I can’t recommend Richie Westman enough. He was incredible while working with us. Even though there was a lot of delay and back and forth from our end, he was extremely patient and accommodating. He made sure we had all the information we needed even if it meant repeating things to us a multiple times.If you’re starting your first time mortgage journey, Richie is the the guy you’d want to talk with. Well done Richie and thanks a ton!
Had an amazing experience with Richie Westman. He was patient, super accommodating, and very clear on his explanation when I had questions. I really appreciate his time and expertise, his help will certainly alleviate the some of the stress involved in securing a mortgage.
Had an outstanding experience with Low Quotes, especially with Alan, while arranging mortgage protection. Alan's professionalism and assistance made the process incredibly smooth. His proactive approach alleviated our stress, as he went the extra mile to stay in touch and ensure we had all necessary documentation to finalize our mortgage. Highly recommend Low Quotes without hesitation.
I would rather not think of any other company to deal with Life insurance and Mortgage protection. I dealt with Seamus who really helped me understand the process as I was a newbie, by providing an exceptional service and information. 100% friendly experience and a very smooth process.
I cannot speak highly enough of Bernadine Day. Our mortgage journey was not a straightforward one and I can honestly say we wouldn't have gotten through it without Bernadine's help. She pointed us in the direction of the right lender for us and guided us through the process with professionalism and empathy. Her knowledge, expertise and kindness are unparalleled. She was always available by message or by phone to answer any questions we had or to assuage any anxieties we had. She dealt with our lender on our behalf and was always prompt in relaying messages from them and in passing on any requests they had for documentation. Bernadine was so helpful too in explaining the different jargon and terminology we weren't used to. She will always have our gratitude for guiding us through the journey and into our dream home.
There is no other mortgage broker like Bernadine Day. Our mortgage journey was not the most straightforward, and having Bernadine on our side through it all was a blessing. She has vast experience and a can-do attitude ~ she is the reason my partner and I have this mortgage.If you are beginning your mortgage journey, chat to Bernadine. You will be in the best hands possible.10/10, highly recommended.

Bernadine Day worked tirelessly to remortgage my home. At times it was difficult to navigate due to my complicated housing portfolio but Bernadine`s support and efficiency guided me through the rough waters.

Bernadine`s communication is always clear and concise and no issue is ever too big for her to assist with.

In Ireland, savings options considered safe typically include deposit accounts offered by banks and credit unions. These accounts are regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland and are covered by the Deposit Guarantee Scheme, which protects deposits up to a certain limit per depositor per institution.

Individuals in Ireland can invest in stocks and bonds through brokerage accounts or investment platforms offered by financial institutions. Additionally, there are investment funds such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that provide exposure to a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds. It’s essential to conduct thorough research and consider factors such as risk tolerance, investment objectives, and regulatory considerations before investing.

Tax considerations play a significant role in savings and investments in Ireland. Interest earned on savings accounts is subject to Deposit Interest Retention Tax (DIRT), while investment gains from stocks, bonds, and funds may be subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) or Dividend Withholding Tax (DWT). Tax-efficient savings options, such as pensions (e.g., Personal Retirement Savings Accounts or PRSAs) and designated savings schemes (e.g., Special Savings Incentive Accounts or SSIA), may offer advantages in terms of tax relief or exemptions. It’s advisable to consult with a tax advisor or financial planner to understand the tax implications of different savings and investment strategies.
