What is pension drawdown?
Pension drawdown (also known as flexible-access drawdown or income drawdown) allows you to withdraw cash from your pension savings as and when you need it from the age of 55 (rising to 57 in 2028), whilst leaving the rest invested with the potential to keep growing during your retirement. This is an alternative to a classic annuity, which you purchase when you retire and get a set amount of money as an income.
What are the pros and cons of drawdown?
Simply put, pension drawdown gives you the flexibility to access money from your pension as you like, whilst allowing the remaining amount to remain invested allowing for the opportunity to potentially grow. Unlike an annuity, it also allows you to pass the full amount left in your pension pot onto a nominated beneficiary in the event of your death.
If you are looking to have a guaranteed income each year until you die, pension drawdown might not be the best option for you.
