Annuity options when you retire
A life annuity
A life annuity pays a guaranteed income for life, so it provides a great match for your basic expenses like having a place to live, medical aid, groceries and other regular essential spending, what we refer to as life expenses.
However, it’s not as flexible so you may not be able to make spontaneous decisions like paying for a holiday, starting a business, contributing to a special life event, as well as the opportunity leave a legacy when you are no longer here.
A living annuity
With a living annuity, you can tailor their income by choosing an income level of between 2.5% and 17.5% of the investment value, which you can adjust every year. You also have the flexibility to choose investment components to suit your investment strategy.
But, if you don’t strike the right balance between life and living expenses, there may be the risk of running out of money to pay for even the bare necessities.
A retirement income option with the best of both worlds
We believe there is a better way for you to plan and structure your finances when you retire by ensuring a sustainable income in retirement and blending the need for certainty and flexibility.
When you retire, it's a balancing act between:
Guaranteed income
A guaranteed income that removes all the risk but has no market participation, no flexibility and sometimes a lack of being able to leave a legacy.
Flexible income
A flexible income that could run out or become insufficient, but with the opportunity to participate in investment markets and the ability to transfer money to your loved ones upon your death.
