In this week's podcast, Paddy chats with Steve Selengut, a.k.a The Income Coach about income generation strategies. An interesting and different approach.

Steve has accumulated over 40 years of experience as a private investment manager, with a strong focus on increasing the spendable income generated by client portfolios. Today, his role has transitioned into that of an Income Coach, where he dedicated to teaching investors how to more than double the income produced by their portfolios.

Steve is the creator and instructor for the unique "Working Capital Model" portfolio operating system and the "Market Cycle Investment Management" methodology, both of which he developed back in the 1970s. Additionally, He introduced several proprietary concepts, including the QDI + PT, Smart Cash, The Investor's Creed, and Base Income. Steve also developed the Investment Grade Value Stock (IGVSI) identification system.

Key topics:

  • Steve's 4 basic principles
  • What's it is like in Ireland
  • Profit taking
  • Comparing Ireland & US investing systems
  • Distribution income
  • Sustainable income

I hope it helps!

In this week's podcast, I talk about investment options in Ireland.

There are a bucket-load of investment options in Ireland. It is one of the biggest questions we see and hear from people. Yet, the landscape is fairly straight-forward once we get your head around it.

Plus, the route someone will take with their investments is often not led by logic, but by their internal biases. The same occurs when one is choosing their next car to buy!

Show me someone's car, and I'll tell you what kind of investments they have! So much so, I'll go on record as saying;

"The type of car you drive is a lead indicator of the type of investments options you choose" -Paddy Delaney :)

And to jump right-in, here is how I see the investment routes comparing to cars on the Irish roads!!.....

  • Discretionary Investment Manager = BMW
  • Life Insurance Investment Product = Volkswagen
  • Advised Investment Platform = Honda Civic

This week, having had time to do so, I share:

  • The main investment options in Ireland (via personal & corporate investment and/or pensions)
  • How they compare to the car you might (or might not) drive, and why....

I hope it helps!

In this week's podcast, I talk about how much income will €1 million generate in retirement.

Planning for retirement in Ireland involves making important decisions about how to generate reliable income from your pension savings (assuming you use pensions as part of your strategy!).

We're going to take the case of our illustrative friend, Harry Houdini, who managed to escape from high-strain corporate role at the ripe young age of 55!

Key points:

  • Buying an Annuity to generate income
  • Using an Approved Retirement Fund (ARF) instead
  • Pension drawdown considerations
  • How much income will a €1 million pension pot generate?
  • How do you make it last?

I hope it helps!
