Where to invest my pension lump sum

I will be getting a lump sump from my pension of £84k and hope to retire at 61. I will also have an annual payment as part of my pension. I want to boost this annual payment by using all of the £84k over a period of 6 years until I get the state pension at 67. Ignoring interest I want to draw down £14k per year. Any advise on where to invest my money would be most welcome. As this is my pension I want little or no risk.

    A fixed term annuity looks closest to your objective.
