Balancing income and capital growth in retirement

Article Abstract:

An annuity does not have to be purchased immediately on reaching retirement age, and they can be deferred using income-drawdown products that allow an income to drawn directly from the pension fund. Drawdown enables investors to remain in control of their capital. Zero-coupon gilts are gilt-edged securities paying no interest, enabling investors to fund several income payments up to 2028. Equities should return more than gilts over the long term.
