Arguments for and against I guess. You are getting more value for your money though and from what I can see, the markets will come good again, may take time, but they should.
Just started a pension with irish life putting in 100 week between me and my wife we are both 33, Just wondering is it wise to do this right now as am been told by alot of people we are crazy i believe it is a good time because you are getting more units for your investment right now would appreciate some informed reassurance.
Its likely that whichever fund you are invested in you are purchasing units much cheaper compared to their price of recent years.The benefit of current economic downturn is that you are building up a vast amount of units at low prices,so the longer the downturn remains the better for your pension,as when/if economic upturn arrives you will enjoy an enormous lift in your fund value compared to contributions paid in.Fund values may rise and fall significantly over the term of your pension,but you benefit from Euro cost averaging i.e.buying extra units when unit price falls.Check that you have an investment strategy built into your pension that reduces your risk as you get nearer to retirement.
