Which of the following statements do you agree with?
I want to get as much out of my pension savings s I can so I am happy to leave my pension invested even if that means there is a risk I could lose some of it
I don’t really know what I will need so I think having access to a flexible income is my best option
I want the reassurance of knowing how much money I have coming in so I would like to have at least part of my pension provide a guaranteed income for the rest of my life
Ideally, I would want the best of both worlds – some guaranteed income and the chance to grow some of my retirement savings by leaving them invested
For people with a SIPP - Which of the following best describes how you feel about using part of your SIPP funds to purchase guaranteed income for life (GIFL)?
Fine – I am already planning to do this anyway
I am not sure but I would be open to considering it if the product was right
I am not really sure but I wouldn’t discount it completely
I would never consider a GIFL at all
Please forward this on to anyone you know who may be interested.
