Who can benefit
from income drawdown? If you do not want an annuity,
want the maximum tax-free lump sum, have other sources
of income and after tax free cash you have a pension
fund of £100,000
or more,
drawdown could be suitable for you.
Drawdown offers more flexibility than an annuity
but does have a higher risk due to the underlying
assets.
After
taking 25% tax free cash you can select to have no income
or any amount of income up to the maximum of 120% of a
single life annuity at your age.
As the underlying assets are equity based, ten years should
be the minimum term to achieve the desired fund performance.
If you are aged between 50 and 65 drawdown may be an option
for you. At age 75 you must either purchase an annuity
or switch to an Alternatively Secured Pension (ASP) to
continue a drawdown type arrangement.
Our partner firms service can advise people with pension
fund of £100,000
or more
on a suitable provider, funds to match your attitude to
risk and income level required. Any ongoing
advice can be given on an annual basis to monitor fund
performance if required.
