Pension Annuity Plan
You have worked hard to build your retirement savings. Now let your savings provide for you throughout retirement. One of the biggest concerns in retirement is outliving your savings.
A Pension Annuity converts an eligible lump sum, usually accumulated through a registered pension scheme, into a regular, guaranteed income from an insurance company for the rest of your life, subject to the terms of the annuity contract. It gives you predictable income for housing, food, utilities, healthcare and other everyday needs.
At Wysline Insurance Agency, we help people approaching retirement and existing retirees evaluate annuity options, understand their income needs and make informed decisions.

Guaranteed Income For Life
A lifetime annuity keeps paying even if you live longer than expected, reducing the risk of outliving your retirement income.
Predictable Retirement Cash Flow
Regular payments make it easier to budget for essential living costs and maintain financial discipline.
Fixed Or Increasing Pension
Choose a fixed pension or an escalating one that rises at a set rate to help with rising living costs. Escalating options usually start lower.
Protect Loved Ones With A Guarantee Period
If you die within a selected guarantee period, your nominated beneficiary may continue receiving payments for the remaining term.
No Ongoing Investment Management
With a conventional lifetime annuity, the insurer manages the funds behind your pension, so you don't have to manage market ups and downs.
Support For Your Spouse And Healthcare
A joint-life annuity can continue income to a surviving spouse. Some providers also offer last expense and post-retirement medical cover.
Who Should Consider A Pension Annuity?
- Individuals approaching retirement
- Retirees seeking a guaranteed monthly income
- People who prioritise predictable retirement cash flow
- Individuals concerned about outliving their savings
- Retirees who prefer not to manage investment decisions
- Couples seeking suitable survivor-income arrangements
Important Considerations Before Purchasing An Annuity
An annuity is generally a long-term and irreversible commitment. Once the contract has started, its terms ordinarily cannot be changed or transferred to another insurer. Consider your income requirements, spouse or dependant needs, healthcare costs, inflation and available guarantee options first. We help you understand these factors before you commit your retirement savings.
