Why Annuity Direct?
Annuity Direct Ltd is one of the best known names in retirement income. We are Chartered Financial Planners –the highest honour an advisory firm can receive. We have been advising clients since 1992 and have received many positive comments from highly satisfied clients. The media often ask us for our views and we regularly contribute to articles in consumer and professional publications.
The first and possibly most important point to make is that our advice is totally independent of any product provider and we operate across the whole market. This is becoming a highly relevant feature for two reasons.
The market is becoming more complicated and you need an independent view of all products offered by all product providers if you are to get to the right solution for your retirement needs.
A number of firms, including product providers, will only use a limited number of annuity providers. If you use one of these firms there is a very real possibility you will not get the highest income and so will lose income each year for the rest of your life.
Ask any adviser you speak to if they operate on a ‘whole of market’ basis for all sizes of fund. Some will restrict choice for smaller pension funds in exchange for larger commission.
