Annuity rate
The annuity rate is important, although not the sole consideration
when buying your annuity. The annuity rate offered by the pension provider
(i.e. the insurance company) will vary from company to company. If you wish
to view annuity rates, click HERE
It is particularly important before deciding where to buy your annuity, to
shop around and investigate the annuity rates that other companies are offering.
Be aware that there are other factors to consider prior to annuity purchase,
such as insurance company financial strength, particularly considering the
length of time most people are in retirement and receiving a pension.
The Financial Services Authority have now made it a requirement for insurance
companies to write to their pension fund holders, informing them that they
have a choice when purchasing their annuity. This choice is termed "Open
Market Option". Click HERE
for more information.
