Pension Investment

The benefits of self-administered pensions are well known.  With no capital gains tax payable on investment gains or rental income during the period of the investment, more and more people are choosing this route as the best option for their retirement saving.  In addition, the Irish property market presents strong opportunities for purchasers who are not reliant on lending.

Given the very advantageous tax position existing in such self-administered schemes it goes without saying that they are tightly regulated. Clarke Jeffers have over a decade of experience handling and wrapping these investments both on behalf of individuals and Pensions Trustees. Our knowledge and skill in the area allows us to progress the transaction quickly while providing the maximum level of regulatory knowledge and advice to the client.  This combined with our many decades of experience in property purchasing, sales and property development allows us to bring real competitive advantage to the investment.

We also act for Trustee company’s raising private pension funds for investment.

“A person’s investment in their future requires more than just knowledge of the Law. It requires experience in the area. It requires a more forensic understanding of what needs to be achieved

-Victor Clarke, Managing Partner.
