What is a Retirement Annuity?

Save. Grow. Retire.

A Retirement Annuity helps you save for retirement with tax-efficient growth and protected savings.

It allows you to contribute regularly while benefiting from tax relief of up to 27.5% of your gross income. Investments grow tax-free with a range of portfolio options tailored to your risk preferences.

You can transfer your Retirement Annuity to another provider or consolidate multiple annuities for easier management. Upon retirement, your funds can be transferred into a Living or Life Annuity for continued income security.

At Investonline, we tailor Retirement Annuities to maximise retirement savings.

  • Savings Pot: It’s accessible
