As you know, Irish Life is now part of the Great-West Lifeco group of companies, one of the world’s leading life assurance organisations.

Great-West Lifeco look after a lot of defined contribution company pension plans in Canada and recently did an analysis of their book of business to learn more about how people in Canada are saving for retirement.

The results of this analysis have been compiled into an interesting brochure which can be accessed via the link below.  A lot of what they learned is very applicable to the Irish pension environment so we think you’ll find the brochure insightful and relevant. We plan on doing a similar analysis of the defined contribution plans that we look after in the coming months which we will provide for you in a future newsletter.
