True at-retirement innovation

We've created a unique solution that offers members a managed monthly income for life (to age 95), ensuring a smooth transition into retirement while staying invested in their chosen strategy.

A new way to retire

Retirement can be an uncertain time. While defined contribution pensions provide flexibility for members, decisions at retirement can be complex. This can leave members overwhelmed and unsure of the best route for them. So, we've built member guidance into our online account and launched a fully managed income for life solution.

Our managed income option is available alongside traditional retirement choices like drawdown and annuity purchase. For added convenience, members can mix and match different options, all accessible through their pension account.

Managed income for life

Our first-of-its-kind managed income for life option allows members to benefit from the full flexibility of income drawdown and a regular income without needing to:

  • make investment decisions
  • carry out complex calculations
  • seek financial advice.

Regular monthly income

It will provide a regular monthly income, easily accessed through the members online account. Members can continue to benefit from our sophisticated investment approach up to and through retirement.

We calculate and pay regular drawdown payments, managing the level of withdrawals so that a member’s pot lasts for their lifetime (to the age of 95) or until age 75 if they’re planning to buy a guaranteed income (annuity) in later life.

Flexible options

Members can choose from a range of flexible options or mix and match to find the right solution for their needs. These options can be accessed through the members pension account and include:

  • NEW: Managed income

    - To age 95

  • NEW: Future annuity income

    - To age 75

  • TPT drawdown

    - Self-managed investment and income

  • Phased drawdown

    - Use tax-free cash to provide regular income

  • Single or multiple lump sums

    - Known as 'uncrystallised funds pension lump sums' or 'UFPLS'

  • Annuity purchase

We’d recommend taking independent financial guidance or advice before transferring or combining your pension pots. You can find out about sources of guidance and advice here.
