This week we have seen annuity rates rises from a number of providers, which is positive news for those considering their financial options for retirement. After a difficult few years, with annuity rates falling over the past decade, this increase is a move in the right direction and could help boost pension income for people opting for an annuity.

So why choose a pension annuity?

While thousands are taking advantage of the freedom they now have to access their pension savings, many are still choosing to buy an annuity and enjoy the financial certainty that this can offer.

Guaranteeing your income for life, a lifetime annuity will continue to pay out, regardless of how long you live. The amount you receive will depend on a number of choices, such as whether you want the income to remain the same or increase over time, and whether you want some or all of the income to continue for a spouse or partner after your death.

A fixed-term annuity guarantees pension income for a set number of years. You can choose the level you will receive and know exactly how much you'll have left at the end of your chosen term to select another pension-income option, should you wish. It is not possible, however, to know how much income that will secure for you in the future, as the economic climate may change.
