What is a living annuity?

A living annuity is a retirement income investment that allows you to choose how your money is invested and how much income you draw, while keeping your savings invested.

Your income and investment remain fully in your control. You can:

  • Choose how much income to draw each year (between 2.5% and 17.5% as per regulation).
  • Adjust your income once a year to suit your lifestyle needs.
  • Select the underlying funds that match your goals and risk appetite.
  • Leave the remaining investment to your beneficiaries.

The Fairtree Living Annuity offers flexibility, long-term growth potential, and the ability to structure your retirement income in a way that works for you.
