A pension annuity is an income provided in return for your pension fund. It is usually the remaining fund after the tax-free cash has been withdrawn, and is taxed in full as earned income. Pension annuities provide a guaranteed income for life, which is an attractive option for many; however, it does mean that there is no possibility of benefitting from future growth. In addition, unless you write in certain guarantees, you will not be able to pass any of the value down to your heirs. This means that if you die earlier than expected, the vast majority of the fund will be lost. Purchasing a pension annuity is certainly not the right option for everyone, and it is something that should be given careful consideration. At Maxim Wealth Management Ltd, our advisers will help you weigh up your options to see if a pension annuity is the right choice for you. Contact our team for your consultation.
