Evergreen or tsb Regular saver?

kmb

Hi All,
My pension guy from new ireland is contacting me tommorow regarding evergreen investments by doing a weekly or monthly lodgement,not sure.

What do ye guys think?

Do i keep up the tsb monthly regular saver or is this a better long term option for say 5 yrs?

I know there is uncertainty in the market so was hoping a bit of "what i would do" may help me to these or better options.

regards
kieran

based on the performance of the evergreen fund over the last 12 months.. i wouldnt go near it..
saying that, i believe it performed quite well the years previous..

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns... blahdy blahdy blah.

OP - ask the guy to talk you through Trilogy2, much better performing BoI fund. BTW 5 years is relatively short, and many funds suffering from current market volatility.

There's always Eagle Star.

I invested in the BOI Evergreen fund last year and now find myself down €2,000. Should I cut my losses and find a better performing fund or stay the course for at least five years? Cheers

@ midsomermurdere, the worst thing you could do is cut your losses because the only thing you'll be doing is consolidating your losses. You'll probably have to pay a penalty to get out and then pay entry charges in whatever new fund you choose.

Stay the course is what I'd say to you.

Thanks a mill for the advice.
