Creating an income stream in retirement

In the second pod from our Retirement series, independent journalist Moira O'Neill chats to Alice Guy, head of pensions and savings at investing platform interactive investor, and explores the options you have for generating income from your retirement pot once you reach those golden years.

This conversation is sponsored by Allianz Global Investors, a large investment firm that manages €553 billion for clients around the world, and specifically The Merchants Trust - an investment trust that aims to deliver high and rising income together with capital growth by investing predominantly in higher-yielding large UK companies.

Don't forget, investing involves risk, which means the value of your investment can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you put in.
