How to Turn a Pension into Retirement Income

DRAWDOWN OR ANNUITY?

What happens when decades of pension saving must become an income? This UK documentary explains defined benefit and defined contribution pensions, contributions, tax relief, allowances, investment, charges, access ages, PCLS, UFPLS, drawdown, annuities, State Pension and death benefits. It includes worked examples showing tax bands, sequence risk and how private income can bridge the years before State Pension.

This video provides general educational information, not personal financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Pension and tax rules can change and depend on your circumstances. Investments can fall as well as rise, and withdrawals reduce the amount left invested. Before an irreversible pension decision, consider free Pension Wise guidance and, where appropriate, an FCA-authorised financial adviser.
