What is Investment Bond?
We understand that what you do today, creates what is possible tomorrow.
Investment Bond is a product that gives you a straightforward way to invest a lump sum to help you achieve your long-term financial goals, such as paying college fees, buying your first home, helping your children get on the property ladder, or just having the security of a rainy-day fund.
Flexibility
Invest from €10,000 with the flexibility to take regular and single withdrawals.
Growth potential
Your money is invested, meaning it will have good potential for growth, especially over the long-term. Your investment options include our popular Multi-Asset Funds.
