Shop around for the Best Annuity
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Many people looking to retire in the UK over the next few months will have had information about their pension fund from the provider, including details for purchasing an annuity. The insurance companies annuity provided, even so, may not be competitive and an open market option could add up to 30% more retirement income each year for the balance of the annuitant’s life.
An Open Market Option (OMO) means an annuitant is free to purchase a compulsory purchase annuity (or pension annuities) from any provider in the open market, and this is applicable to a with profits annuity as well as a standard annuity. Although every one of the approximate 300,000 people looking to retire in the UK could consider an open market option, but over 2/3rds still do not browse around to find the best annuities. Many might obtain extra income by up to 30%, valued thousands of pounds every yr for the rest of their lives.
Purchasing the correct pension income is extremely important as once purchased, annuities cannot be switched to another annuity company, cannot be exchanged to a different type of annuity and cannot be altered in any way for the rest of the annuitant’s years.
