See below.Great point, thank you. I'm getting particularly concerned in how much is potentially charged over the life of my PRSA. At retirement age of 65, the latest projection is that my prsa would be potentially worth €387K, but after charges €317k, a grand total of €70k in charges.... Is this the norm?
Yes - that's one of the key selling points of PRSAs.And does anyone know whether you can simply choose to move your prsa to a different provider?
Charges vary. Standard PRSAs can charge a maximum of 1% annually and 5% on each contribution but you can get lower than that. For example:Will they all have similar charges?
You can buy ETFs for a $10 commission with countless online brokers both in US and in Euroland (internaxx etc). Why would one buy a fund that is passive and give the fund manager 0.75% just to do the same thing as buy an ETF?The problem is that cheapest passively managed indexed funds are 0.75%.
Even outside the pension you cannot buy cheaply ETF's that are similar to these funds.
My question is, what is his vested interest in keeping me in? I mean, the fees are the fees. I'm pee'd off that he didn't patently explain to me in clear terms about the exit fees.

a good contrary opinion worth chucking I would quibble however about the gearbox analogy as your car won't spontaneously recover due to other unpredicted events..

Sorry - what is a "tax managed account"? II am doing that in my tax managed account.
