    So what I would like to do is leave my £60k to grow till I'm 65, then purchase an annuity with this fund. Are there any limits on what kind of annuity I could buy with my SIPP? Would I still be able to buy one that provided a pension for my wife on my death for example?
    Favours are returned ... Trust is earned
    Reality is an illusion ... don't knock it
    There's a fine line between faith and arrogance ... Heaven only knows where the line is
    Being like everyone else when it's right, is as important as being different when it's right
    The interpretation you're most likely to believe, is the one you most want to believe

    no.

    Yes.

    No different at all to what is available if you dont do drawdown.
