Income options from Standard Life

  • Annuity

    You buy an annuity, which gives you a guaranteed income for life, with the funds you've saved in your pension. The amount you get is based on factors like age, gender and how much you've saved as well as the options you've chosen. Your income will be taxed under the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) system.

  • Synergy Approved Retirement Fund (ARF)

    This is a way to control your retirement income while keeping your retirement fund invested. It gives you the flexibility to decide where you want to invest and to vary the amounts you want to withdraw
