About this episode
In this episode, Paul discusses investment options for a lump sum and the impact of inflation on asset returns.
For a 1:1 consultation and more - https://askaboutwealth.ie/consultancy In this episode Paul looks back at 10 years of returns across the four main asset classes and reveals why two of them actually lost money in real terms once inflation is stripped out. But the real question isn't "what's the best investment?". It's "what's the best investment for me?" Your age, timeframe, existing assets and tax position change the answer completely. And as always, tax is the silent killer of returns. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
