Features

An annuity can provide your customer with the following benefits: 

  • An annuity pays a guaranteed income for life, no matter how long your client lives for.
  • Your client can choose to provide an income for their Designated Dependent when they die.
  • Your client can choose to reduce the impact of inflation on their pension income by adding indexation to annuity payments.
  • At Aviva, we guarantee annuity payments for a minimum of 1 year as standard, even if your client were to pass away before the end of year 1. Your clients - can also opt for guaranteed payments of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 years. 
  • Rates and outcomes depend on age, health, current market interest rates, and annuity options selected. Enhanced annuity eligibility is subject to underwriting.

 

How much income will I receive?

As the level of pension your clients may get depends on their personal circumstances, it can vary from one person to the next. We will look at several considerations to work out your client’s annuity income, including;
  • The size of their pension fund
  • The interest rates at the time of purchase
  • Your client’s age
  • Your client’s health (if applying for an enhanced annuity)
  • Whether they want to add a Designated Dependent
  • Their Designated Dependent’s age
  • The health of their Designated Dependent (if applying for an enhanced annuity)
  • What product features are chosen (e.g. guaranteed payment period)
