How many terms will Retirement Annuity run for?


Question:

How many terms will Retirement Annuity run for? I am interested in a monthly debit order for a 10 year term

Answer:

Dean, If you take out a policy-based Retirement Annuity sold by the life insurance companies, the minimum term will be until age 55, but your broker will probably try and sell you one that extends beyond that, to increase their commission. If you break this term, they invariably levy a variation charge. A new generation Retirement Annuity offered by asset managers (including us) has no fixed term, ie you can contribute for as long as you want, with no variation charge. Please read our blog: How does your Retirement Annuity compare to the industry?
