How it works

A life annuity uses the proceeds of your retirement savings to provide regular, guaranteed income payments for the rest of your life.


You can add another life insured at inception to receive the income after your death.


The income you receive can increase annually by a percentage chosen by you at inception, or linked to inflation.

About the income

The amount of income you receive depends on the following factors at the start date of the life annuity:

  • Prevailing interest rates when the capital amount is received,

  • The age and gender of the lives insured, and

  • The product options you’ve chosen, such as a guaranteed income payment term, income growth, additional life cover, etc.

The income is paid monthly until the death of the last life insured or the end of the guaranteed income payment term, whichever occurs last.
