Future retirees to cope with reduced annuity rates

Posted on Wednesday, May 11th, 2011 in Annuity rates

Experts suggest that future UK retirees will likely have to cope with lower annuity rates than people have been accustomed to. Studies indicate that older workers will likely have to make further provision for themselves if they wish to have a prosperous retirement. Government and the private sector encourage people to save as early as they can to prevent poverty and hardship for them and their loved ones.

Senior government ministers are particularly concerned that the national funds will suffer increased pressure as the population ages. People will likely find that they are forced to work longer rather than receive their annuity payments at 65. Insurers consider that this will provide retirees with what they need for a great retirement.

Analysts suggest that the trend to cope with less money than anticipated will likely continue for the foreseeable future. They predict that retirees and older workers will require more flexibility to either save or spend their money on holiday’s mortgage repayments or a new car. People will likely wish to withdraw some money and invest it elsewhere for a better return.

It is now more important than ever to save for your retirement as you will likely need the funds far longer than you ever envisaged.
