Enhanced Annuities

Enhanced annuities work in the same way as a standard pension annuity but also consider your lifestyle and health conditions. If you qualify for an enhanced annuity you would expect it to provide more income for the rest of your life than a standard pension annuity would provide.

Lifetime Annuities

A lifetime pension annuity is designed to provide you with an income and is payable for the rest of your life as a minimum. The funds that you have saved into your pension pot are used to purchase an annuity either from your existing pension company or from a new pension income provider.

Fixed Term Annuities

A Fixed Term Annuity is a type of Guaranteed Drawdown product designed to allow you to access your pension in a more flexible manner than purchasing a set income for the remainder of your life which is what a lifetime pension annuity does. They provide a guaranteed return on your investment.

Flexi Access Drawdown

Flexible Access Drawdown products provide a flexible way to take your pension and range from relatively low risk products with guaranteed returns to high-risk products investing in all manner of asset classes. Whilst providing flexibility they do not give a guaranteed income for the whole of life. 

Releasing Tax Free Cash

When you are 55 or over you can access your pension and, if you wish, take a tax-free lump sum. You can then invest the remainder in a pension product and either take an income or keep it invested. You can normally take up to 25% of your investment tax free and use this money as you wish.

Tax Free Lump Sum

If your pension has not been crystalised (accessed previously) you can take a tax-free lump sum from the pension investment. This is normally in the form of a 25% tax free lump sum payment, but some types of pension schemes do have enhanced benefits and permit more than 25% to be taken.

State Pensions

The Basic State Pension is available to men born before 6th April 1951 and women born before 6th April 1953 and the New State Pension available to those born later. We have links to the Government information pages and the State Pension Age Calculator and a link to obtain your State Pension Forecast.

Equity Release

Is a way of taking some of the equity (investment wealth) built up in your property as tax-free cash to provide additional income in retirement or to pass over inheritance money to the family before dying, repay other mortgages or borrowing or to just spend on something you have always wanted.
