What is the Cornmarket Retirement Planning Service?

Through Cornmarket’s complementary Retirement Planning Service, you will have the opportunity to meet with a member of our dedicated Retirement Planning team, who are all specially trained to guide you through pre-retirement, when you retire and during retirement, so you’re always financially prepared at any stage of your retirement journey.

What pension benefits or entitlements will I get?

Pension benefits and/or entitlements tend to vary from person to person, depending on factors such as years of service, your pension scheme, any additional contributions you’ve made and more. If you’re confused about any of these, please feel free to contact a member of our dedicated Retirement Planning Service team to arrange an appointment.

I am retiring soon, what should I do?

As you start your retirement journey, our experts are there to help, with years of experience in advising our customers on settling or setting up your AVC or PRSA, retirement investments, pension benefits, Single Premium (Last Minute) AVCs and more. Of course, we’re always ready to answer any of your questions.

What do I do with my AVC/PRSA?

There are several steps involved in settling your AVC or PRSA at retirement. You can also meet with one of our retirement experts, who will be happy to guide you through the process, or find out more through one of our handy guides when you visit cornmarket.ie/avc.

Can I retire early?

There are several options available for early retirement, including taking out an AVC, 'buying' additional years of service, or retiring early through the Cost Neutral Early Retirement Scheme. Our dedicated Retirement Planning Team can help find the best choice for you.

When should I start planning for retirement?

Ideally, you should start planning for retirement at least 5-6 years before your intended retirement date to ensure you’re retirement ready and are financially secure when the time for retirement comes. But it’s never to late! For example, a single premium AVC can be done right up to your retirement date.

What will happen during my retirement planning appointment?

Your Cornmarket consultant will arrange to meet with you either in-person or online (wherever you feel most comfortable) and go over crucial information about your retirement such as your benefits and entitlements, give you an overview of your retirement options, advise you on how to properly manage your funds in retirement, and more, based on your individual circumstances.
