What is a Personal Pension?
A personal pension is a pension savings product designed for you to save for your retirement. It could be suitable if you are self-employed or if your employer does not offer you access to a pension scheme. It’s tax efficient because you can claim tax relief on contributions that you make and you don’t pay tax on any investment growth within your pension fund and you may receive a tax free lump sum at retirement.

Why would I need a pension?
If you want to improve your income in retirement and don’t want to rely solely on the State Pension to provide your income in retirement – you will need to plan your retirement now, because it really is your responsibility, no one else is going to do it for you.
How prepared are you for retirement?
At Aviva, we have carried out extensive research across Ireland to explore just how adequately we are prepared for our retirement. We discovered that 43% of 35-54-year olds expect financial hardship in retirement and 60% have inadequate retirement funds. Overall, half of our population is likely to carry some level of debt into retirement. (Source Aviva, September 2019).
