Working with advisers
We choose to distribute our personal pension products and services through financial advisers. Simply because we believe that’s the right thing to do.
The world of pensions can be a complex place. And we think quality impartial advice is the best way of making sure you find the right products to suit your needs.
Advisers may charge for their services – though they should agree any fees with you upfront.
How Income Release works
With Income Release, you’re in control. You decide how much tax-free cash and income you need, and when you need it.
Once you’ve decided how much tax-free cash and income you’d like to take, we’ll split your pension savings into two separate accounts: an Income Release Account and a Savings Account.
Income Release Account
This part of your plan pays out the tax-free cash and any regular income payments you've selected.
With flexible access, your income isn't guaranteed to last forever. So if you take out too much money, live longer than expected or if your investments don't perform as well as you'd hoped, you could run out of money before you die.
Savings Account
Any pension savings you don’t use to provide tax-free cash and income will stay in your Savings Account.
You can continue to save for your future by making contributions into your Savings Account. Of course, while your pension savings could grow, their value can also go down. This means you could get back less than you started with.
