Posted in Pension Annuity News

16th May 2012

Good morning, we have a short update on annuities for you.

LV= has added a break clause to its fixed term annuity, the Protected Retirement Plan, or PRP.

This lets clients transfer to another pension or annuity product with LV= or another registered pension scheme in the event of a change in circumstances.

Changes that would mean you qualify for the break clause include becoming eligible for flexible drawdown, the diagnosis of a medical condition entitling an enhanced annuity, marriage, divorce or the death of a spouse or civil partner.

The break clause can be used within 12 months of a change in circumstances and is available for new and existing clients with an LV= PRP.

LV='s Protected Retirement Plan allows you to choose an annuity term between three and 25 years and lets you pick your income level.

John Perks from LV= explains the inclusion of the break clause means "a client is able to switch to a more appropriate retirement solution if their situation changes".

Thanks for watching, we hope this was useful
