Retirement Annuity Trusts

The retirement annuity trust is your personal pension scheme and allows you to provide yourself with regular, tax deferred income after retirement. The trust is set up in anticipation of retirement with the idea that you will draw your pension between 50 and 75 years old.

You are not required to purchase the annuity and this means you may use resources for other investments such as equities, bonds, hedge funds, real estate and loans.

Another advantage of the retirement annuity trust is that it may be passed to your dependents as well. Typical pensions are for you and your spouse only. The trust also has specific tax benefits.
