Remember our Assembly on annuity essentials back in March?
Over the course of one lunch-hour, Andy Powell from Standard Life walked us through the basics of annuities – how they work, the differences between pension and purchased life annuities, and the kinds of options available like inflation protection and guarantee periods.
Now annuity expert Andy is back and he’s taking things a little bit further.
In the second of his two-part guide to annuities essentials for paraplanners he talks to host, Richard Allum, about how annuities can feature as part of your clients’ retirement income strategies. For instance, among the practical planning tips that go beyond the basics, are things like:
- annuities can actually boost the value of the legacy client’s leave for loved ones
- annuities can be used as an asset class within broader portfolios
- and much more
After years of being out of fashion, annuities have been enjoying a bit of a renaissance lately. So what better time to refresh your annuities knowledge and – who knows? – maybe challenge your thinking about how they can contribute to a client’s retirement strategy these days?
Fancy topping up your annuities knowledge? Then tune in now.
