Average Pension Annuity Rates

Sustainable income is achievable

A personalised Guaranteed Income for Life (GIfL), provided by a pension annuity, offers a sustainable, competitive rate of retirement income, whilst removing the risk of running out of money.

Below is a range of example rates* (averaged between March 2024 to August 2024), for someone who is healthy, also a person with a lifestyle related condition and lastly, someone with a more severe medical condition.

  Healthy Respiratory Parkinson's disease
65 6.40% 6.97% 7.78%
70 7.01% 8.03% 9.04%
75 8.55% 10.02% 10.78%

 

When compared to cash and bonds, a GIfL can provide higher rates of income, and compared to equities, removes volatility and longevity risk, and delivers certainty.

If your client needs to draw an income from their retirement investment portfolio, and is concerned about sustainability, then a personalised GIfL could be the answer.
