Income drawdown  
 

Our drawdown plan is called the Clerical Medical Income Drawdown Plan (Pre 75). It's simply a way of taking an income from your pension pot and keeping your pension fund invested under current tax rules. You can also take a tax-free lump sum from the plan of up to 25% of the fund value transferred to the drawdown plan.

So what are the main features?

  • It's available if you're aged between 50 (55 from 2010) and 73 attained.
  • You can consolidate several of your pension plans into one easy to manage plan, and receive maximum tax-free cash on receipt of each transfer
  • The minimum initial investment after the payment of tax-free cash is £50,000
  • The minimum additional investment to an existing plan is £10,000 (after the payment of tax-free cash), plus
  • You can also transfer monies that are already in a drawdown plan into a separate plan, subject to a minimum investment of £50,000
  • Your pension fund is invested in a tax-efficient environment. Tax rules may change in the future.
  • You can control your income and investment strategy to meet your changing circumstances.
  • You can take a level of income that can be varied to meet your needs.
  • You can buy an annuity at any time before age 75
  • You can enjoy peace of mind that you can use the remainder of your funds to provide your dependants with an income or a cash sum when you die.

The value of the investment can go down as well as up as a result of market movements. You may get back less than you invested. If the level of income withdrawn is greater than any growth achieved your plan value will reduce.
