The Department of Social Protection's latest update on the 'My Future Fund' auto-enrolment scheme, and how it affects anyone already in a private pension.
Read moreCompare the charges, risk ratings and long-term performance of every major Irish pension, PRSA and investment fund — side by side, with no jargon.
Three starting points that lead to the fund data that actually matters to you, without ploughing through every prospectus.
Compare PRSAs and occupational pension funds by charge, risk rating and long-term performance. See which providers actually earn their management fee.
Compare pensionsFor savings sitting in a current account earning nothing. Compare multi-asset funds, index funds and execution-only platforms with the Irish tax treatment built in.
Compare investmentsAlready invested? Find your fund in our database, check what you're actually paying, and see how its returns compare against peers of similar risk.
Find your fundA cross-section of the strongest 5-year performers at each risk level.
Performance figures annualised, net of AMC. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

A Personal Retirement Savings Account — the Revenue-approved pension wrapper you can open yourself. We break down Standard vs Non-Standard PRSAs, charges caps, and who should actually open one.
Read the guideThe single biggest reason to use a pension in Ireland. How the 20% / 40% relief works, the age-based contribution limits, and how to make sure you're claiming everything you're entitled to.

Read the guideMost fund comparison you'll find in Ireland is written by the fund providers themselves, or by advisers being paid commission to recommend specific products. FundWatch is neither. We list every major fund, show the same metrics for all of them, and flag conflicts of interest where they exist.
