Everyone agrees that the retirement map has been entirely redrawn with the government’s budget announcements regarding pensions and annuities. Some might think that annuities Armageddon had arrived (there are predictions that up to 90% of the market may disappear). However, the annuity purchase (if not compulsory) must still exist within the retirement planner’s arsenal. Additional options may make retirement planning a more varied exercise, but somewhere in the mix, a ‘guaranteed’ income remains a prudent choice.

Synaptic Software recognises the importance of advice in the purchase of annuity, and offers the Synaptic Annuity Webline to advisers, in order to provide access to ‘standard’ and ‘enhanced’ annuities. Every annuitant deserves to have the ‘open market’ fully researched on their behalf, and the rate they are offered should reflect their own circumstances.

Unlike services offered by our competitors, there is no additional cost to requesting annuities quotes.
