Pension annuity
An annuity is a guaranteed income payable for a set period or a lifetime.
Many people choose lifetime annuities as depending on the options selected at outset, they can, for example, provide a wide range of options in retirement, such as indexation against inflation, a continuing income for a second named life, a guarantee to pay out for a minimum amount of time after annuity purchase, or a return of a lump sum to the annuitant’s beneficiaries. However, it’s worth noting that once you have selected an option at outset it cannot be later changed.
