  • The best Irish (if not global) retirement investment podcast.

    So glad I stumbled across this podcast. The two podcasts on how so called independent financial advisers accrue their fees, and how pension fund lifestyling is potentially a sleepwalk into dire fund returns were two of the best analyses I have listened to yet. The opinions resonate with my own views on low cost, passive investing as a core feature of my investing.

    Keep on producing this great podcast.

    Colin.
