Back in September a report produced by annuity expert Billy Burrows, director at Retirement Intelligence, stated blended retirement solutions were the best option for clients as this route helps achieve the right mix of income flexibility as well as certainty for clients.

But some have questioned whether blending should be combining several products from different providers or whether savers would be best served by a single hybrid product.

This special report will explore what are the financial priorities of those facing retirement and how income needs can vary in retirement.

Blended solutions will be compared against clients picking their own products.

The tax efficiency of different retirement income options will also be examined and how important a consideration should tax be post pension freedoms will be discussed.
