SYS Financial has announced the appointment of Eve Nolan as head of self-directed pensions.

The financial advisory firm said that Nolan will focus on working clients to navigate complex pension structures and provide broader personalised financial solutions.

She is recognised as a specialist in self-directed pensions (SSAS, PRSAs, PRBs, ARFs), an area market that is experiencing significant growth.

Nolan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce and professional qualifications including QFA, RPA, and most recently, a Diploma in Data Analytics for Business.

“We are thrilled to welcome expert Eve Nolan to SYS Financial as Head of Self-Directed Pensions. Self-directed pensions are a rapidly growing segment of the Irish retirement landscape, but one where expertise is critical," said Tony Delaney, chief executive of SYS Financial.

"Having worked alongside Eve during her time at ITC, I know first-hand the depth of knowledge and professionalism she brings.

"Eve’s knowledge and hands-on experience in this area will add significantly to our intellectual capital and enable us to further support our clients, ensuring they can take advantage of the opportunities and flexibility these pension structures provide.

"Her appointment underscores our ongoing commitment to recognising market gaps and building the expertise needed to close them.”

Nolan said: “I am delighted to join SYS Financial at such an exciting time in its growth.

"Self-directed pensions are an area I am deeply passionate about, and I look forward to working closely with clients to help them understand and maximise the benefits of these solutions, while also supporting their wider financial planning needs.”
