FSA Annuity Rates
Available on Money Made Clear
The
Financial Services Authority (FSA) is the UK's financial regulator. The
main objective of the FSA is to protect customers who purchase
financial services. The FSA regulates most types of financial
service firms. The FSA publishes their data via the website
Moneymadeclear.com and provides valuable information and advice about
your investments and what is right for you. The FSA does not attempt to
sell you anything nor do they recommend specific providers. The site
provides comparison tables on items such as fsa mortgages, fsa savings
accounts and fsa annuity rates.
To compare fsa annuity rates, the site offers tables that define the
different pension lifetime annuities from a range of providers. You
still have to do your homework, as the tables won't recommend which
financial product you should buy, and they don't want you to buy a
product simply on the basis of what you saw on their website. They do
recommend getting professional advice if you do not understand how the
annuity works or if you are unsure as to whether or not it is
appropriate for you. Keep in mind that there are some companies that
have chosen not to provide the fsa with data, and these companies are
indicated on the tables. The fsa does not insist that the very small
companies provide them with data on their financial products. The fsa
provides questions for you, so that they can determine what information
on annuities will be most useful to you.
For the site to give you a clear picuture on fsa annuity rates, the
following questions are asked: Are you male or female? At what age do
you intend to buy a lifetime annuity? Are you a smoker? How much of
your pension fund will you use to buy a lifetime annuity? What age will
your spouse or partner be when you take your annuity? What level of
income do you want your spouse or partner to receive when you die? Do
you want to see the rates for a lifetime annuity that is single life or
joint life?
Once these questions are answered, the site will calculate the
appropriate fsa annuity
rates based on your answers. The fsa annuities
and their rates are shown alphabetically for your quick reference. The
list shows the provider, whether the annuity is available to smokers,
the level, the monthly income increasing by 3%, the monthly income
increasing by RPI, if there are better rates available and whether
there is a restricted availability. |
