Meet Anne
Anne is 65, has built up her savings, and is looking to retire.
She's retiring and wants to take 25% of her savings (£166,000) as tax-free cash to cover her income for the next few years. She'd like to invest some of her fund for growth, and likes the idea of receiving a lump sum, but she's quite risk averse.
Why this matters for Anne?
- Security: The Guaranteed Income Plan ensures Anne receives a fixed lump sum, giving her peace of mind and a reliable foundation for future income planning.
- Flexibility: She retains access to her funds before the plan matures, allowing her to adapt if her circumstances or goals change.
- Growth potential: She maintains exposure to market growth, which could enhance her overall retirement income.
- Immediate needs covered: The 25% tax-free cash withdrawal supports her short-term income needs without triggering additional liability tax.
- Bonus upside: The additional lump sum on top of the guaranteed amount rewards her for staying invested, adding value without extra risk.
The Adviser's strategy
Drawdown with certainty: Anne’s long-term income strategy
Anne's adviser recommends she moves into drawdown. She'll invest half of her remaining fund (£250,000) in a Prudential Guaranteed Income Plan for ten years, going for the lump sum option, which will give her a guaranteed payout of £369,128 at the end of the term.
From guarantees to growth: How Anne diversifies with confidence
Since she's got the security of her guaranteed lump sum, she'll invest the other half of her money into medium-risk assets so she can enjoy some growth potential without risking her whole fund.
In this scenario, Anne receives £376,288 back from her investment in the Prudential Guaranteed Income Plan.
