Responsible Pensions
By Irish Life Assurance
There’s a powerful way you could do right by your money. Your Irish Life pension or investment could now do more for the planet on your behalf - investing more responsibly and committing to a lower carbon future.
Read on to find out more – or book a consultation to get advice from an Irish Life Financial Services Advisor.
How we do right by your money
If you have an Irish Life pension or investment, or are thinking of getting one, you may not know how much good it could do for the world. With Irish Life’s main pension and investment funds we invest your money more responsibly – see below for details of our funds that use a responsible investment approach.
This means that - compared to typical funds that track stock-markets - we invest less in companies that are harmful to the environment or society, and more into companies which try to help.
In fact, Irish Life Investment Managers now have almost €53 billion invested responsibly - up from €20 billion since 2019 (Source: Irish Life Investment Managers, December 2022). So while you are saving towards your retirement you can also do your bit to help build a better future for everyone.
3 main reasons to choose a Responsible Pension or Investment
Doing good for you, and the planet
We do right by your money, by investing less in companies that harm the planet and more in those trying to help it. While always aiming to deliver the best possible return.
No extra fund charge compared to standard funds
Having a responsible pension or investment does not cost you more to help the planet. Responsible pensions & investments have the same fund charge as standard funds.
Options to suit your needs
We have responsible pensions & investment funds to suit your needs and the level of risk you are comfortable with.
