Tip 7: Shop around- Make sure that you shop around before you purchase any retirement products. The Financial Conduct Authority found last year that those who go into income drawdown could increase their annual income by 13% by switching to a lower-cost provider. It is important not only to check fees, but to make sure it suits your needs, and that you can withdraw cash as and when you want it, and for as long as you need it.
