AVC's into a PRSA

Hi,

I am in my employers pension scheme to which I invest €13k per annum in AVC'c. My employer currently contributes just over €4k.

The problem is the fund performance is poor and charges are high. It is a with profits policy from Friends First which I would have thought would have protected performance in the past few years from the stock market downturn, but that dose not appear to be the same.

I would like to divert my own contributions into an AVC with a competitive charging structure and leave my employer to contribute to the company scheme.

That way I get dilution of performance risk and lower management fees.

Is it possible to do this under current legislation.

Thanks
