The third coming

To quote former Pensions Management reporter Nick Reeve, choosing your annuity is a lot like choosing a bottle of wine. If you can tell your Claret from your Beaujolais, choosing your desired vino is relatively easy. However, if you are less informed, and vaguely recognise some of the brand names but have no clue as to the grape, how many years it should remain in the bottle and whether it will suit your palate, you could end up with the wrong plonk.

Between a rock and a hard place

Third way products can be complicated, but with no such thing as the average retiree, flexible annuities may prove pivotal to the market’s future

The Money Advice Service is an elegant and innovative way of providing consumers with much needed help to access financial services products.

  • Absolutely. Should have happened years ago.
  • It's a start. Let's hope it's a solid foundation.
  • Not sure either way.
  • It's not advice, but you only find that out in the small print, which nobody reads.
  • Are you having a laugh? It's another way for the regulator to raise a fighting fund to paper over the cracks in its regulatory armoury.
