Employer Group PRSA Discounted Solution
If you employ one or more staff (including yourself) then you are legally obliged to make available a PRSA via payroll deduction or have a qualifying company pension scheme available to staff. Details about the regulations and rules covering PRSA have a look at this document (Click Here).

MyAdviser can make Zurich's PRSA available where 98% of every euro is invested instead of the usual 95% and the annual management charge stays at the normal 1%. This saves your staff 60% of the normal entry cost on every premium invested. There is no employer cost to set up this Group PRSA facility and no obligation to make employer contributions. It is easy to set up and run and makes sure you are complying with the law.

STANDALONE AVC PRSA - No Need For Employer Involvement!
Zurich were the first providers to offer a Standalone AVC PRSA. This version of their Standard PRSA can be purchased by pretty much anyone even if you are already in an existing Company Pension Scheme or already have an AVC Pension (Additional Voluntary Contribution). This includes Public Service Workers and there is no involvement or approval needed from your employer. CLICK HERE to get the details on how this works.

MORE FUND CHOICE AT THE SAME DISCOUNTED PRICE
You will see in the "PRSA Investment Options" document above that there is a wider fund choice with Zurich's Non-Standard Advice PRSA. Usually Non-Standard PRSA's have higher charges than Standard ones but with this offer you get exactly the same charges as with their Standard PRSA i.e. up to 99.5% invested and a 1% per annum management charge. This is worth considering as their cautious Suppercapp Fund is available under their Non-Standard Advice PRSA.

The figures in the tables below show the total performance of all the main pension fund managers. The performance is for the periods shown up to 1st October 2011.

Each sheet shows the particular sector results and shows the "Quartile Rank". This means that if a 1 is shown then that fund is in the top quarter of the table. If a 4 is show then that fund is in the bottom quarter of the table. Ideally your fund manager will always score a quartile rank of 1 or 2 but that does not always happen.
