Yes. We can consider your personal investments, pensions, cash and other relevant assets as part of your wider financial position, helping you develop a more coordinated strategy around your overall objectives.

Performance should be considered in the context of what the portfolio was designed to achieve. It’s worth separating three things that can look similar but aren’t: changes in portfolio value, cash movements in or out, and actual investment performance. We’ll walk you through each one, so you know exactly what’s driving the number in front of you.

There is no single answer. The appropriate level of risk depends on what you want to achieve, how long you are investing for, your need for access to capital, your capacity to absorb losses and how comfortable you are with fluctuations in value.

We’ll help you understand those trade-offs and build an investment approach around them.

Not necessarily.

Some money may need to remain accessible for short-term spending or unexpected requirements, while other capital may have a much longer investment horizon.

We can help you determine what should remain available and what may be appropriate to invest.

Usually not. Different parts of your wealth may be intended for different purposes and timeframes.

Money you expect to need relatively soon may require a different approach from capital intended to support retirement, future generations or other long-term goals.

Your adviser will help you consider when changes are appropriate.

Yes. Your investments may be closely connected to your pension, retirement plans, tax position, inheritance intentions, family requirements or business interests.

Goodbody can coordinate the relevant specialists so those decisions are considered as part of your wider wealth strategy.

The purpose of your wealth may begin to change.

Rather than focusing predominantly on long-term accumulation, you may need to think increasingly about future income, liquidity, investment risk and how different assets should support your retirement.

We can adapt your strategy as your priorities evolve.
