At some stage in life, you may find yourself in receipt of a relatively substantial sum of money, perhaps through an inheritance, profit from the sale of a property or business, or a bonus. It makes sense to put some of these funds into a bank deposit where you can get easy access to it should you need it. However, for the balance you need to think hard about how you can get the best possible return. A lump sum investment is a sound option. The modest returns you’ll receive on a bank deposit may be eroded by inflation while an investment gives your money every opportunity to grow. While a certain amount of capital risk applies, investing over the medium to long-term in assets such as equities gives your investment the best chance of achieving your financial ambitions. What are the benefits of lump sum investments? Your qualified Hennelly Finance financial advisor will: Warning: The value of your investment may go down as well as up.

Your age and gender may influence your attitude to risk, as might your reaction to losing money on the stock market.

Regardless of your needs or your attitude to risk, our qualified and vastly experienced team can provide you with the latest stock market investment advice tailored to suit your needs.

Regular Savings Plans Whether you’re saving for a new car, home renovations or even your children’s college education, letting your savings rest in a general bank account is probably one of the worst savings decisions you can make. Savings interest rates remain some of the lowest in history with bank fees and charges adding further insult to injury. However, there are a range of savings options available that can return a higher rate than the average bank account. Your regular savings could be used to help fund: Calculating your savings The best way to make sure your regular savings plan will be successful is to follow a few simple rules: Contacting all main life insurance companies we hold agencies with Give us a call today on 091 670123. Now more than ever, children will need a college education and recognised degree qualification for the best change of securing a bright, successful and secure future. However, funding a third level education is becoming increasingly difficult, and according to the Zurich Cost of Education Survey 2018 most parents underestimate the cost of sending a child to college. The Zurich study found that the biggest jumps in spending were on student accommodation (increased from €2,628 in 2017 to €3,442) and private rented accommodation where third level students can expect to pay between €3000 and €4000 each year. The average cost of third level fees also rose significantly from €2,066 to €2,419 per year while the number of college students shelling out more than €900 per year on transport costs nearly doubled in 2018. Perhaps not surprisingly, the cost of third level education can creep up on parents with 52% going into debt to cover the cost of their child’s college expenses. That’s why planning for your child’s education and starting a savings plan early is so important, not only to give your child the best chance starting out in life, but to help you keep your own financial and lifestyle goals on track. You might be surprised to learn that regular savings can perform better in the long run than a lump sum investment, even in volatile markets. Regular investing (on a monthly basis) takes advantage of both up and down markets. That means that when markets are strong, portfolio returns will be higher, and when markets fall, more units will be purchased for the same investment which leads to greater returns in the long run. The key is to give your investment time to grow. To learn more about saving for your children’s college education get in touch with the team at Hennelly Finance; we can help you prepare for the future and achieve the goals you have your family on a plan that suits your circumstances.

For example, is it to fund a deposit on a house in five years; is it to pay for college education in 15 years; is it an emergency fund; or for a gift to your children in the future? These answers will have an impact on the level of risk that you may find acceptable or is recommended.
