Annuity Comparison Service 

There may be instances where your client would benefit from a guaranteed income for life solution, provided by an annuity, but you may not be in a position to offer advice. This may be because it's not part of your core service, or the funds involved are below what would be cost-effective for you to deal with.  

HUB Financial Solutions Limited's non-advised annuity service can help. It's easy for you to earn additional income by referring business to their non-advised online or telephone service.

How do clients benefit?

HUB Financial Solutions offers access to a choice of leading providers that could help your clients improve their retirement income by 'shopping around' both the standard and underwritten guaranteed income for life markets. It enables your clients to:

• Research their retirement options.
• Understand the range on offer.
• 'Shape' their options and understand the effect of them via the 'Online Annuity Planner'.
• Get real-time annuity quotations online.
• Apply for their preferred option from a panel of leading providers.

Remember that this service does not offer advice and is available solely as an 'execution only' service.  

Benefits for you

This referral service allows you to refer (and be remunerated) for business that may otherwise be unprofitable to advise on.

• 1% commission earned for every completed case.
• No cross-selling as only annuities are offered.
• HUB Financial Solutions administers the application and completion of your client's annuity.
