Putting away even a small sum early on can make a big difference to the lifestyle you will enjoy when you retire. The golden rule for most people, is not to rely on the State alone. Most pensions benefit from tax breaks and nowadays you can even contribute to your pension if you don't work.

Phased Retirement
The rate you get from your annuity will very much depend on several factors, for example:
i) Do you require a single or joint life policy?
ii) Do you want the policy to be index linked so that it increases with inflation?
iii) Whether you have any health or lifestyle considerations.
iv) Do you wish to take your 25% Tax Free Cash Lump Sum from your pension fund?
In order for us to quote you an accurate rate (and we will get you the best rate from all UK providers) we do need to clearly understand your individual circumstances and requirements. We will then do all the hard work at no cost to you, for you to then make an informed decision. We will save you a lot of time and money once we understand your requirements.
