Annuitysearch for term

When the time comes to take your pension, you need to convert the fund you’ve built up into a regular income. Annuities are a financial product which allows you to pay a lump sum to an insurance company and in return receive an income for the rest of your life (what’s known as a lifetime annuity*) or for a specified period (known as a short-term annuity).
