Annuity Rates

With Annuity rates at an all time low it is increasingly important to shop around at retirement to secure the highest possible Annuity rate. This is made all the more acute for clients with medical conditions or smokers who may be in a position to secure higher, enhanced Annuity Rates. We can source the Annuity market for you and potentially boost your retirement income. It is also worth remembering that Annuity purchase is just one method of securing an income in retirement and for some clients there are more suitable alternatives which we would be happy to discuss with you.

ISA Allowances for 2010/2011

The ISA allowance for tax year 2010/11 is now £10,200. ISAs provide tax free growth and income taken from an ISA is also tax free, making this one of the most popular methods of savings for clients. ISA allowances are split between Cash and Stocks & Shares which have slightly different limits. The maximum that can be paid into a Cash ISA is £5,100. A Stocks & Shares ISA entitlement can be up to the full £10,200 limit so if you have maximized your Cash ISA allowance you will still have your Stocks & Shares allowance of £5,100 available to you.
