How it works

A life annuity uses the proceeds of your retirement savings to provide regular, guaranteed income payments for the rest of your life.

You can add another life insured at inception to receive the income after your death.

The income you receive can increase annually by a percentage chosen by you at inception, or linked to inflation.

You receive a monthly income that is determined by the size of your investment and the option you have selected.

Factors that impact your income

Whether you choose a guaranteed term or choose to increase your income every year will affect the income you receive. We recommend that you discuss your considerations with your Sanlam financial adviser or accredited broker to ensure a suitable option.
