When faced with the often-difficult decision on how to best tackle your pension scheme retirement options, it can prove confusing.

Should you purchase an Annuity or reinvest in an Approved Retirement Fund (ARF). Before, reaching this particularly important long-term decision, getting expert financial guidance is crucial and so too is choosing the right financial advisor.

Annuity V ARF

Annuity V ARF

If on the underhand, you have a Defined Contribution Pension, (Employer Scheme or Private) then rising interest 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). So, again, careful individual assessment and expert financial guidance is needed here.
