Annuity V ARF

Retirement Options

If you have a Defined Contribution Pension, (Employer Scheme or Private) then rising interest rates could certainly make an annuity more attractive, but it should be remembered that annuities end on the death of the annuitant, unless a spouse’s pension (up to 50%) or a guaranteed period (up to 10 years) is built in at set up.

Adding a spouse’s pension, guaranteed period, and or inflation protection lowers the original pension payment (annuity). That said, if you want zero risk, with a fixed income an Annuity could best suit you, over an ARF, which involves re-investing your residual retirement fund.
