Investment expert Kevin Elliott returns to the podcast to answer the most commonly asked questions about Exchange Traded Funds, including the one he gets asked by almost every client: \"Should I start investing in ETFs now, or wait for the personal investment account set to be announced by the government on budget day?\" In this conversation with host Aideen Finnegan, he also gives his take on whether the scheme will help \"middle Ireland\" on the basis of what we know so far (annual contribution cap, tax-free gains up to a threshold, and providers handling Revenue reporting). Kevin uses the equivalent UK and Swedish schemes as a reference point to compare the likely structure, the tax applied, and why he expects fees to be high relative to what broker apps currently charge.
Kevin spoke to Better with Money back in July and you can listen to that episode here.
