When you arrange your retirement income, you have various choices and some important decisions to make. There are different types of pension annuities to consider depending on your circumstances. If you suffer from certain medical or lifestyle conditions you could get significantly more income in your retirement.
We can guide you through your various options and help you make the right decisions. We’ll help you choose the right pension annuity and we’ll find you the best annuity rates available by comparing annuity rates from all companies. Should flexibility in your retirement be important to you there are various pension annuities and other alternative retirement options available to you.
Best Annuity Rates
If you do decide to buy an annuity to provide you with your retirement income it’s important you get the best annuity rates, as this can make a tremendous difference to the amount of income you receive. There can be a significant difference in the rates available to you, and we can get you the best annuity rates from across the market.
It’s unlikely you’ll get the best annuity rates from your existing pension provider. You’ll be better off by using your open market option and shopping around for a better deal elsewhere.
Annuities
Annuities, or, to be more precise, lifetime annuities, pay a guaranteed regular income for life. Annuities are provided by insurance companies, in return for a lump sum, typically from your pension fund. Many people buy lifetime annuities to provide them with their retirement income, because they offers both security and peace of mind – you know you’re going to receive a guaranteed income for the rest of your life.
If you buy a lifetime annuity you can’t change your mind and alter it once it’s been set up – you’re stuck with it for life. Other types of annuities and other products do offer you more choice and greater flexibility.
Annuity Providers
There aren’t that many annuity providers in the market offering competitive annuity rates. Most are household name insurance companies, but there are also a few smaller companies who tend to specialise in the enhanced annuity market, competing for your business if you have certain medical or lifestyle conditions.
We’ll compare rates from all these annuity providers to find you the best deal, and there’s every chance we’ll get you a higher retirement income than you’ll get from your current pension provider.
