Important information
Please remember that the value of investments, and any income from them, can fall as well as rise so you could get back less than you invest. If you are unsure of the suitability of your investment please seek advice.
Annuity rates can change regularly and may go up or down in the future. Quotes are guaranteed for a limited time only. Once set up, an annuity cannot normally be changed or cancelled, so it is important to consider all your options carefully.
