Things to know before you buy an annuity

Why people choose an annuity

What to check before you buy an annuity

1. A guaranteed income for lifeIt's paid for as long as you live, however long that is.
1. Have you compared rates from different providers?Rates vary, and you don't have to buy from your current pension provider.
2. Your income doesn't depend on the stock marketYour payments are set when you buy, so market ups and downs don't affect them.
2. Could your health or lifestyle get you a higher income?Some health conditions, or habits like smoking, can mean a higher income.
3. You know what you'll get each monthThat can make it easier to plan your spending in retirement.
3. Should it rise with inflation, or continue for a partner?These options protect you, but usually mean a lower starting income.

Everyone's situation is different. Talk it through with a pension annuity expert, free and with no obligation.
