Pension annuity rates

GDB2222 · 2025-03-08 17:01:24

An easy question, hopefully! Where do I look up indicative annuity rates to get an idea whether it's worth transferring my DB pension into an index-linked annuity, rather than drawing it direct from the scheme? I think it's unlikely to work, but I'd just like to check.

The DB scheme offers an option to give up some of my pension to enhance the widow's pension. So, I'm going to explore that option.

Waiting for a retirement pack, which is expected to take a while.

That sounds like a good and simple solution. Then with the DC money you have you might look into multi-asset funds or ITs that are focused on dividends and income as those will probably need little management.

And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
