Peace of mind for your later years
When you’re ready to collect your hard-earned pension pot, you can use some or all your money to buy a guaranteed income, normally for life, via what is known as an annuity.
Retirement Line is the UK’s largest annuity broker and can help you find the best rates on the market. They offer no-obligation guidance and quotes tailored to your financial circumstances and goals. Wesleyan will get a commission if you choose to buy an annuity with Retirement Line.
For further advice on annuities speak to a Specialist Financial Adviser from Wesleyan Financial Services. As part of your wider retirement planning, we can help you decide how much of your pension pot to use and how long to receive an income for, helping you find peace of mind for your later years.
Please bear in mind that you can’t usually change your mind once you’ve bought a lifetime annuity

A guaranteed income for life
For those who enjoy the financial security of a regular income, a lifetime annuity gives you a guaranteed income for the rest of your life. Choose from monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual payments to suit your hopes and goals for life in retirement.
A higher income if your life expectancy is affected
If you’re a smoker or have a medical condition that affects your life expectancy, you may be eligible for an enhanced annuity. These provide a higher income than a standard annuity. We can help you understand the criteria and find one that’s right for you.
Take care of your family once you've gone
Worried about looking after your family when you pass away? Adding a guarantee period to your standard annuity will provide a dependant with an income for a chosen number of years. Or, if you want to give your partner or chosen loved one an income for life, you can buy a joint life annuity.

What you should know before buying an annuity
There are a few things to consider before you apply for an annuity:
Once your annuity has been set up, it can’t be changed, so it’s important to think through any decisions you make around your pension and speak to a Specialist Financial Adviser if you need advice.
It’s vital that you’re honest about any health conditions you have, as you may be entitled to a higher income rate if you have a shorter life expectancy.
Where you receive advice from Wesleyan Financial Services, an Initial Advice Charge of 3% is deducted from your payment to pay for providing that advice.
