Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tax-Efficient Investing in Ireland: SURE, EIIS and the New State Savings Scheme
Q: Can you tell us a bit about what you see as the potential benefits of the new State Savings Scheme, and what, if any, drawbacks do you see?
Kevin Canning calls the scheme a positive but limited option, with a €12,000 annual contribution limit per person. He expects providers to handle the tax reporting, while noting that account charges and implementation details remain uncertain.
Tax-Efficient Investing in Ireland: SURE, EIIS and the New State Savings Scheme
Q: Could you share your views on Angel Investor relief and SURE?
David O'Brien says Angel Investor relief is rarely used because it is complicated and requires companies to remain qualified, while SURE can provide 40% tax relief but locks the investment into the business as equity.
Private Equity and Venture Capital Explained: Risk, Returns and Portfolio Construction
Q: How do you judge what kind of due diligence you put into choosing where to put the money that people allocate to you?
Merriman says Elkstone focuses on early-stage venture companies with substantial upside potential. It assesses founders and opportunities and builds a diversified portfolio, recognizing that many investments will fail while a few strong performers may drive overall returns.
Private Equity and Venture Capital Explained: Risk, Returns and Portfolio Construction
Q: Why should people consider private equity as part of their investment portfolio?
Merriman says private equity can diversify a portfolio beyond concentrated public markets, provide exposure to a larger share of global company value, and has historically offered a return premium. He stresses that it is an addition to, not a replacement for, public equities, and investors must be able to tolerate illiquidity.
Over 75% Of People Are Paying Too Much For Health Insurance
Q: Is the fear of the unknown one of the main reasons people use your broking service instead of DIY tools?
Yes, people benefit from talking to a human who asks the right questions and provides a tailored solution, rather than navigating hundreds of options online.
