What is Informed Invest?
Informed Invest is our low cost, no-frills investment service.
We call this ‘Informed Invest’ - where the focus is helping you invest in diversified portfolios and allowing ‘Global Equities’ to do their thing over the long term!
This is different to our MasterPlan Maintain Programme, and is designed to serve investors who do not seek on-going support and planning outside their investment or pension account.
Designed for those who want to:
- Invest €100,000+
- Invest successfully over the long term
- Pursue passive investments strategies
- Access to index funds from Vanguard and others
- Penalty-free access to your investment at any stage
- Avoid commissions and hidden fees
- Do it all seamlessly on-line
As distinct from the MasterPlan Maintain Programme, Investors in ‘Informed Invest’ do not benefit from:
- Full access to Paddy as their dedicated advisor
- Bi-annual calls or meetings with Paddy
- Invitations to Seminars or exclusive events
- Access to our support network
- Access to new portfolio options or non-standard options
- Guidance or advice outside the investment/pension account

The investment performance of the portfolios we provide for investors have far outstripped the majority of high street offerings, at similar or lower volatility ratings and lower costs to investors.
