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 annuity rates available to you.
It’s unlikely you’ll get the best annuity rates from your existing pension provider. To ensure you get the best rates available we’ll compare quotes from all leading annuity providers.
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.
