Unsecured pensions
As an alternative to a secured pension (which can take the form of either a scheme pension or a lifetime annuity), you may offer the member a choice of obtaining an unsecured pension. This will be either:
- direct from the scheme through income withdrawal (see RPSM09102030).
- indirectly through the purchase of a short-term annuity contract or a series of such contracts from an insurance company (see RPSM09102230).
An unsecured pension may be provided by a combination of income withdrawal payments and short-term annuity contracts, or by a series of short-term annuity contracts running concurrently.
