Annuities - UK - February 2002

Annuities are one of the few products that will guarantee an investor a certain level of income for life, no matter how the stock market performs or how long the investor should live. Generally they are purchased with the proceeds of a pension fund and, although 25% of a personal pension can be taken tax-free, the remainder must be used to purchase an annuity by the age of 75.
