Annuities

Enjoy peace of mind throughout retirement by receiving a regular, guaranteed income for life.

Our annuities provide regular, usually monthly, payments to pensioners for the rest of their lives, based on the savings accumulated up to retirement. The payments can remain unchanged or be increased once a year with increases that are a fixed percentage or linked to either inflation or the performance of an underlying investment portfolio. Payments can be made for a guaranteed period, regardless of survival of the pensioner, and can be made to a spouse or child after the death of a member. An annual 13th cheque can be included.
