A living annuity may not be suitable for you. Carefully consider the following:

It is important to note that the income is not guaranteed and your ability to sustain the level of income will be affected by the performance of the underlying unit trusts in which you are invested.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your income that you draw will be sustainable for the entire duration of your retirement.

If the income that you draw is too high, you bear the risk of running out of money during your retirement.

Returns in the underlying unit trusts are not guaranteed and your investment may not perform according to your expectations.
