Pension for purchasing propertiy and equities

I want to use my pension to buy equities and property and take full advantage of the tax breaks that go with a pension. i would like to spend approx 10,000 euro p/yr on my pension. I went to see a certified advisor in F.E.N.and he agreed that this plan of mine was a good one. His fees to help me implement my plan were about 2000 euro.

I am wondering now how i can buy specific equities and properties for my pension and avoid these high fees....or perhaps the fees will be worth it in the end.

Thanks

Perhaps a Small Self Administered [Pension] Scheme is something that you might want to consider?

Those are very expensive charges, you should go see a PIBA registered broker, find one in your area at remember to negotiate!!

FEN

If the arrangement suggested by FEN is a self-administered pension plan, which gives you full control of what assets your pension fund buys, as distinct from a self-directed arrangement or an insured one, €2,000 is a reasonable fee for establishing one.

I'm all in favour of shopping around for professional services, but remember that if you want a self-administered scheme, you must use a Revenue approved pensioneer trustee, and I'm not aware of any that offer their services at a discount rate.

I have no connection with FEN.
