When you reach retirement age, your pension fund is converted into an Annuity that will provide you with a regular income for the rest of your life. Many people don’t realise you can choose which company you place your annuity with rather than just accept the offer from your pension company. This is called the Open Market Option (OMO). The OMO means that you are now entitled to shop around to ensure you get the best rate. It is vitally important to select the best annuity, as you can’t change provider once your annuity is set up. Making the right choice can mean a difference in income of up to 30% for the rest of your life.
