Taking an annuity through Insurance based retirement plans is one of the most tax-inefficient as also investment-inefficient route. Such plans offer no tax benefits, annuity returns are notoriously bad and one gets locked in for life. Some policies do have some small escape routes in the form of minor variations, but that’s just a small relief.
An insurance product is not meant for retirement – it is actually meant just for insurance, and hence, should only be used for that. There are far better products in the market which can do this job of giving good, tax-efficient pensions more effectively.
