Robin Powell is a force within the investing world - on a mission to inform the public and financial advice firms of the facts of investing. I was thrilled to have him back on the podcast, having spoken to him in Episode 76 a life-time ago!

In this episode, we discuss:

- His progress in dispelling investment myths & educating investors

- The role of regulators in making it better for retail investors

- What investors should focus on & what they should not focus on!

- The Advice Gap in the UK and other countries and how it may be fixed

- A great book!

As with most things in Financial Services in Ireland, (Environmental, Social & Governance) ESG Investing in Ireland is one that takes a bit of figuring-out, if you want to do it right that is! In the hope that it will help you build and protect your own wealth, I share the following in this short piece:

  • The theory of ESG investing in Ireland, and why it is to be applauded
  • The practical application of ESG investing for Irish Investors, and why it is less than straight-forward
  • Some revealing research that shows most ESG investing is not actually ESG at all!
  • What we will do to get to the bottom of it

This week I share some interesting research and insights on how to prepare for the biggest surprises in Retirement, both financial and non-financial.

We will mostly all agree that 'Life' is not about reaching some destination in a particular state. The same can be said of our financial lives, but yet a large focus for most of us is to reach a point in the future where we have amassed sufficient financial resources to be financially independent. 

Learn from the people who have been there and done that in this weeks' episode.

Paddy.
