How can Finax help with your retirement?

Finax offers you two modern investment solutions, that will help you build wealth to secure a retirement according to your needs and wishes.

Runners

European Pension - PEPP

PEPP is a long-term pension product that helps you prepare for the future simply, efficiently, and designed to ensure you can rely on stability in your retirement.

With few exceptions, PEPP savings stay locked until retirement - so the money is there when you need it most. This helps ensure that your savings will truly serve for a carefree retirement when you need them most.
We have minimized the fees, significantly below the limits of the pan-European personal pension product (PEPP). The European pension from Finax costs only 0.6% per year + VAT. The total cost for the basic PEPP is 0.9% – of which 0.6% is Finax’s revenue, 0.14% VAT (charged together as a fee), and 0.16–0.22% are internal ETF fees already included in their price. You don’t pay any other fees to Finax, which means your pension savings will grow faster.
Investment returns within a PEPP are generally not subject to Irish income tax during the accumulation phase. Personal contributions may qualify for income tax relief at your marginal rate, subject to Revenue rules and pension limits. At retirement, withdrawals (outside any permitted lump sum) are generally treated as taxable income. PEPP can also be offered as part of an employer benefits package, with employers able to contribute subject to applicable Irish tax rules.

With two kids and a full-time job, I didn't have time to deal with complicated investments. Finax has given me peace of mind - I invest regularly for retirement and everything is working itself out. When I imagine the future, I see myself on the patio, with a cup of coffee, not stressed about money. That security is priceless.

Advantages of investing in retirement through Finax

Why invest in retirement through Finax?

We handle everything for you. No stress, no unnecessary questions. Retirement investing is as easy as never before.

Saving for retirement is often associated with uncertainty and complexity. Finax allows you to handle it without unnecessary stress or efforts. We will create a personalized investment plan, tailored to your needs, which automatically adjusts itself according to your age and attitude towards risk. We automatically rebalance your portfolio, so that the original investment composition remains optimal for you.

Low fee means more money for you

Transparent and low fee that won't threaten your returns.

If you opt for Global Investing, you will pay us only 1% + VAT per year, significantly lower compared to traditional pension products or pension insurance schemes. If you opt for European pension (PEPP), the fee drops to 0.6% + VAT a year (in exchange for locking the money until reaching the retirement age). The total cost for the basic PEPP is 0.8% + VAT – of which 0.6% is Finax’s revenue, and 0.16 to 0.22% are internal ETF fees already included in the price. No entrance or performance fees, which are typically charged in most pension schemes.

Lower fees mean that more of your money remains invested and appreciates for you. Everything is transparent with no hidden costs, meaning you know exactly how much and for what you're paying. Lower fees = larger pension.

Commitment according to your needs

You may pick and choose between full flexibility or locking your savings until the retirement age.

Finax offers two pension products with different commitment periods. The product Investing in ETFs allows for full flexibility. You may withdraw the funds at any time and the money will arrive in your bank account within a couple of days. This combination of flexibility and perfrormance is ideal for anyone who wants to make sure that they will always have their money available in times of need.

The product European pension (PEPP) only allows for usage of the funds invested upon reaching the retirement age. However, many deem this a good thing as they fear they would not be able to resist the urge to prematurely withdraw their pension savings (e.g. to purchase a new car). PEPP, therefore, offers a guarantee of maintaining discipline. In exchange, it offers a reduced management fee of only 0.6 % a year + VAT. The total cost for the basic PEPP is 0.9% – of which 0.6% is Finax’s revenue, 0.14% VAT (charged together as a fee), and 0.16–0.22% are internal ETF fees already included in their price.

Compound interest in practice

Earn returns on returns - effortlessly.

Compound interest is a powerful tool that makes investing a long-term profitable strategy. If you reinvest returns, you earn on the previous returns – the longer you invest, the faster your retirement grows. With us, this happens automatically. Just save regularly and leave the rest to us.

Tax advantages for your carefree future

With our pension products, more money remains in your pocket.

The tax regime depends on which one of our two products you choose. In the case of Global Investing, the returns may be tax-exempt once the relevant legal conditions are met, depending on your country of residence. This means that a larger part of your profit can remain in your pocket. Therefore, you may be left with greater funds for a comfortable retirement - without hassle and useless bureaucracy, which we will handle for you.

The returns from European pension (PEPP) are usually subject to tax. During the payout phase they will likely be subject to withholding tax, just like a standard pension scheme. You may save on taxes during the saving process, as you can usually write off your own contributions into PEPP. Keep in mind that the write-off limits are usually shared with contributions into the standard pension schemes.
