    Theoretically yes, although whether you will find someone who will provide one is another matter. What you won't be able to do is start one using a pension fund unless you are at least 55.

    Google "Purchased life Annuities". These in theory can provide a lifetime income from any age though as Shimrod says you cant fund it from your pension which can only be used from 55.

    Why do you want one? The rate you get will be appallingly bad, and that's assuming any insurers actually want the business.

    Are you sure you don't mean can you start a pension?
