New - Annuity quotes direct from your portal
Doing annuity business with us just got easier with the launch of our online quote facility. With this new service, you can get an annuity quote online direct from all the main portal providers, including The Exchange and Assureweb*. And, to celebrate, we're giving you the chance to win some great prizes when you get a quote online.
But we haven't stopped there. We've made all kinds of other improvements to our service too.
- Competitive pricing - We've improved the way we calculate our annuity rates to make them even more competitive and flexible over a wider range of age bands.
- Improved quote layout - We've redesigned our quotes and introduced a new 'alternative option sheet', which shows how the annuity value changes when other options are added.
- Improved 'defined benefit' quotes - We've invested in new technology that means it's now easier to quote for defined benefit cases.
Get a quote today and you could win a range of prizes including a top-of-the-range digital camcorder, a Bose Acoustic Wave music system II with five-CD changer and a sophisticated home theatre system all you have to do is get a quote online from either your portal provider or our online service at

*We're phasing in the launch of our new quote facility to a number of portal providers.
Our Self-invested Personal Pension - Protected investments from Barclays
The self-invested option available through our Flexible Pension Plan (FPP) or Retirement Control (RC) plan gives clients a more individual approach to retirement planning.
This makes it ideal if they want more control over their investments. And our choice of investments has just got bigger. We've added the whole protected investment range from Barclays, the leading provider of these investments to financial advisers.
If you'd like more information, please contact your access account manager on 0845 61 000 61 or local AEGON Scottish Equitable consultant.
