Split
A split annuity is a combination of two annuity products –
immediate and deferred.
A portion of your retirement savings will be used to buy a
fixed interest single premium immediate annuity which will provide you with a
steady income and is guaranteed no matter what happens to the stock market.
These payments will be made for a number of years – depending how many you have
selected. Many split annuities cover five to ten years.
Meanwhile, another portion of your retirement savings will
be placed into a fixed interest single premium deferred annuity which offers
tax-deferred growth. This means that once there are no funds left in the
immediate annuity, the deferred annuity can provide a new income stream.
If you are considering a split annuity, it may be worth
talking to an adviser. You can talk to one of our advisers by filling in our
