Further bad news for pension holders, as news that annuity rates have fallen by almost four percent in just three months has hit the market hard, leaving many to fear whether their pension income is going to provide them with the quality of life they deserve after decades of work.
This news represents the biggest fall in the value of private sector pensions since September 2010, with present annuity rates down by almost a tenth since June 2009.
A major reason for the weakening of many people’s pensions is the current turmoil in the eurozone, which has caused the returns earned on British Government bonds, on which annuities depend, to fall sharply.
The Caribbean economy is currently particularly buoyant, with house prices having risen consistently for the last decade, with the global economic meltdown not having reached the shores of these magnificent islands. The Caribbean investment property we have available is also SIPP compliant, and with capital growth of up to 50% and ongoing return on investment due to rental income sitting at 20-30%, there are currently few more lucrative methods of investing in your future.
As an example of the poor returns individuals can expect from their pensions, a 65 year old with a £50,000 pension pot would have been able to purchase a conventional lifetime annual leave income of £3,224; today that has dropped to only £2,902.
Advice from the technical director of the pension specialists that conducted the research was to no longer accept the annuity deal they are offered by their pension provider. He advised people to shop around for the best rates and consider other pension pots, with Caribbean investment property representing a noteworthy opportunity.
