People May Compare Retirement Incomes With Whole Of Market Annuity Quotes
Many people save towards their retirement with personal and occupational pension schemes. Most of the schemes can be categorized as money purchase schemes. This means that when the person retires the money invested in the pension fund is converted to cash and used to purchase an annuity. There are many different options when purchasing one of these products, such as level and escalating annuities, and single life or joint life annuities. This article explains some of those options, and shows how an annuity quotes can be used to let a person estimate the amount of retirement income they will get.
Most pension schemes other than final salary schemes, and other defined benefit schemes, can be categorized as money purchase schemes. A person, and possibly also their employer, make contributions into a pension fund, which is invested in the financial markets with the intention of building up a suitably large pension pot by the date of the person’s retirement.
On retirement the pension pot is then used to purchase an annuity. These are a type of insurance, which are sold by life insurance (or life assurance) companies. They provide a guaranteed lifetime income, regardless of how long the pensioner lives for. This is desirable as it protects pensioners from the danger of exhausting their pension pot.
Those who buy an annuity to provide a retirement income will normally have one of the following types of pension: a personal pension, a stakeholder pension, an Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) or Freestanding Additional Voluntary Contribution (FSAVC) scheme, or a retirement annuity contract. Those who are members of an occupational defined contribution scheme may find that the scheme managers purchase the annuity for them, but they are entitled to choose the type of product which they want.
There are many different types of product, allowing the retired person to choose something suitable for their needs. The most basic choice is between a single life or a joint life policy . Joint life annuities will provide a pension for a person’s spouse or partner. These are therefore most normally chosen by couples, unless the spouse or partner already has an independent source of retirement income.
Another choice which can be made is between a level, and an escalating annuity. Level annuities will pay out the same income throughout the rest of a person’s life, while escalating annuities will constantly increase. The increase may be a fixed rate (e. G. 3%), or it may be linked to the Retail Price Index (RPI).
A third option involves a guarantee period. With a standard policy, if the pensioner was to die very soon after buying the annuity, the payments would simply stop. This would mean that the pensioner’s estate did not really benefit from that person’s lifetime of saving. With a guaranteed annuity, the life assurance company will pay the annuity for some predetermined period (usually five or 10 years) even if the pensioner dies.
All these options affect the amount of retirement income. For example a joint life policy will pay out less than a single life policy, because the life company have the additional commitment of funding the spouse’s pension. An annuity quotes is a simple online tool, which allows a person who is approaching retirement to estimate the effect of different options on their retirement income.
When approaching retirement it is vital to shop around using the open market option and to make sure that you use a broker that advises from the whole of market for annuity quotes.

20 Best Quotes from Ukraine?s Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko
Ukraine’s Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was released from jail after two-and-a-half years behind bars on Saturday (February 22, 2014). The 53-year-old addressed the crowds in Independence Square as well as called on them to continue their protest.
Following are 20 best quotes from Yulia Tymoshenko – the one time political hero of Ukraine.
“Whenever you see a successful woman, look out for three men who are going out of their way to try to block her.”
“Our team will fight for the possibility to form the government. We perceive these positions not as a goal, but as an instrument to realize the ideals of the Orange Revolution, … I don’t want people’s trust in government to die.”
“The air we are breathing is corrupt. It’s not the end of the Orange Revolution; it’s the direct action of the Orange Revolution. A public cleansing of society is underway.”
“I won’t go into an election with people who have so discredited Ukraine.”
“When the new president pulled out these allegations, the whole country simply laughed, because even under the Kuchma regime, these charges were cleared, … This case has already been thrown out by the courts.”

“We are not causing the delay. We are 100 percent ready. I think there is some confusion in Our Ukraine. They did not expect such results.”
“The damage was huge, … especially the damage to people’s souls–the people who stood on Independence Square for the sake of the revolution. . . . This is a big tragedy.”
“My goal in politics from the very beginning has been, and will be, the goal of giving Ukraine a chance to finally secure a firm footing in the world as a competitive, independent and real European state.”
“Corruption is in the air. This is the air we had to breathe.”
“He practically ruined our unity, our future, the future of the country. I think this step is absolutely illogical.”

“We said repeatedly that this election was about choosing the prime minister and now the people have spoken.”
“I believe God sometimes gives chances to some people. And I believe God gave me the chance to explain to people what is important and I am trying to use this.”
“We are nearly that team that can deeply reform the country, rid it of clans and oligarchs and begin democratic reforms.”
“I think I will become prime minister.”
“I haven’t been doing business for years, and all of Ukraine knows this, … The campaign against me is based on the notion that 10 years ago I was very powerful. In a span of five years, I created the most powerful company in post-Soviet space. The memory of that exists, of course.”

“I will get to the truth, if not in Ukrainian courts, then in international ones. I will fight to my last breath. They want to put me in prison but that won’t help. My voice will be heard even louder from prison than now, and the whole world will hear me.”
“The revolution is not yet finished. We must keep fighting to secure power!”
“We said repeatedly that this election was about choosing the prime minister and now the people have spoken.”
“I’m not going to hide myself away – I’m not going anywhere.”
“Everything that I have is natural – braid, nails – I practically never use cosmetics. They often ask me in the provinces about my braid.”
