USE OF PENSION ANNUITIES PLUS

The material on the Pension Annuities Plus website is for general information only and does not constitute investment, legal, tax, or any other form of advice. You must always obtain independent, professional advice for your own particular situation.

Use of the Pension Annuities Plus ("we", "us", "annuitiesplus.co.uk") website ("the site") constitutes acceptance of the Pension Annuities Plus Website User Agreement ("the agreement") and Terms of Use ("terms"). The user of the site ("you") represent that you have read and understood these terms and agree to be bound by them.

If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions on this page, please do not use the Pension Annuities Plus website. Use of any internal or external links on the Pension Annuities Plus website constitutes acceptance of the terms on this page. If you do not agree with these terms, please exit this site by closing the browser window.

The terms "Pension Annuities Plus", "Annuities Plus", "annuitiesplus.co.uk" encompass the Annuities Plus Internet Site and Marketing Communications.

COMMISSIONS

There is no charge for us investigating your policy and you are under no obligation to follow any recommendations that are made. By using a broker's service you will get advice that is paid for by the annuity company. You will not have to pay them a fee as your broker will receive a commission payment direct from the recommended annuity company. Your adviser's costs are already factored into the income that you are offered by the annuity provider.

To reiterate, if you buy a financial product, the annuity broker will normally receive commission on the sale from the product provider. Although you pay nothing up front, that does not mean our service is free. You still pay us indirectly through product charges. Product charges pay for the product provider’s own costs and any commission. These charges reduce the amount left for investment. If you buy direct, the product charges could be the same as when buying through an adviser, or they could be higher or lower. We will tell you how much the commission will be before you complete an investment, but you may ask for this information earlier.

TRANSPARENCY

This independently owned website acts as an advertising and marketing vehicle to attract passive enquiries (from people that are proactively searching for annuities using search engines or directories on the internet) and pass on such enquiries for a fee (but free to the searcher) to financial services providers.

WHY USE A BROKER?

1. They may be able to secure a better pension annuity deal than you may be able to.

2. They are more likely to have access to a wider range of pension annuity possibilities than you.

3. Due to their existing relationships with pension annuity providers, they may be better placed than you to overcome any problems that might arise with your application.

4. You will have a point of contact should anything go wrong.

5. They work to a set of national guidelines laid down by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) who regulate brokers' policies and working methods.

6. Pension annuity brokers have got an interest in recommending the right product for your circumstances. They will not wish to fall foul of stringent FSA rules.

7. If you choose not to get FSA qualified broker annuity advice you may not be able to get compensation through the Financial Services Compensation Scheme if, at a later date you have a complaint about the recommended product.

CONTACT INFORMATION

Please address all questions through our contact form below. Only the authorised advisers themselves can offer support through personal contact. We cannot offer phone assistance before your enquiry is allocated to an annuities consultant. You will receive a call-back from your personal adviser asap.

  Helping to Boost Your Income

The things your pension annuity broker will look at include:

• Your required annuity income
• Any spouse or dependants' benefits
• Your previous occupations
• The type of area where you live
• Your attitude to risk
• Security versus flexibility
• Other assets you may have

...and importantly...

• Your health

Have you ever been hospitalised for any medical condition? Your broker will also ask if you are currently taking any medication - did you know there are over 1,500 health conditions that could result in an increased pension annuity? You may qualify for what is known as an Enhanced Annuity (sometimes known as an Impaired Life Annuity).

Additionally, higher pension annuities are often offered to:

• Regular smokers

• People who have retired from certain occupations

• People who live in certain parts of the country

Due to the range of the pension annuity policies that financial advisers can offer, we cannot provide online quotations, only personalised comparisons.

An FSA registered financial adviser (not a call centre) will contact you to discuss your exact requirements and formulate a tailored pension annuity proposal for your circumstances.
