An early start, cold water, and a strong sense of shared purpose 🌅🌊

At the weekend, colleagues from Ask Acorn & Acorn Life DAC took part in the Dip at Dawn on the Winter Solstice in Salthill, joining hundreds of people as the sun rose over Galway Bay. The morning began with a gentle warm-up at the , followed by a short dip in the sea ❄️ and a welcome thaw afterwards over tea, coffee and conversation ☕️.

The event brings together individuals, families, community groups and corporate teams of all ages, all in support of the vital work of the Galway Simon Community 🤝.

Cold, bracing, and quietly uplifting — a reminder of the power of small acts done together.

It’s possible a €5,000 pension contribution could cost you just €3,000 – but only if you act before November 19th.

For someone on the 40% tax rate, a €5,000 pension contribution could:

•⁠ ⁠Reduce their income tax by €2,000
•⁠ ⁠Cost only €3,000 net
•⁠ ⁠Add €5,000 (plus growth) to their retirement fund

A clear win today and for tomorrow.

With the Auto Enrolment deadline coming on January 1st, The Society of Actuaries has told workers to “look before you leap” if they have the option of joining a workplace plan. ⚖️

As the launch of Auto-Enrolment draws closer, our CEO Keith Butler, shares his perspective in the 2025 Irish Examiner Pension Supplement on what the new My Future Fund scheme will mean for employers and employees alike.

📰 In the article, Keith welcomes Auto-Enrolment as an important milestone in addressing Ireland’s pension coverage gap — but cautions that it’s not the full answer. He highlights several key considerations for employers as they assess their options, including:

✅ The need for flexibility in contribution levels and investment choices
✅ The value of ongoing financial advice
✅ The opportunity to deliver workplace pension arrangements through alternative solutions such as a Master Trust or a PRSA

Keith notes that while Auto-Enrolment will help many people begin saving for retirement, employers who want to tailor their benefits and retain access to advice should consider setting up an alternative plan before the system goes live.

At Ask Acorn, our nationwide network of financial advisors is ready to support employers and employees with clear, regulated advice on Master Trust and PRSA solutions — ensuring every organisation can choose the approach that best fits their workforce.

📅 T – 91 Days for Auto Enrolment Decision Making

After almost 20 years of discussion, Ireland’s new mandatory workplace pension – My Future Fund – is due to go live on 1 January 2026. As highlighted in a recent Irish Times article, anyone not already signed up to an occupational pension scheme by December will be enrolled into My Future Fund. In practice, that gives employers and employees only a short window – around eight weeks – to prepare.

Employers will need to consider whether staff are enrolled in My Future Fund or through other arrangements such as a company pension, Master Trust or PRSA. Clear communication will also be important, as these changes will affect payroll processes.

👉 At Ask Acorn, our advisors are here to help employers and employees understand their options and make confident, informed decisions.
