Notes:
1. The index is needed when using the GAD drawdown tables. If the value is not a multiple of 0.25%, the rule is to round down to the next lower multiple of 0.25% - eg. for June 06 use the 4.50% column in the GAD tables. 2. The index for each month is taken as that published by the FT for the 15th day of the preceding month (or the previous working day before the 15th if it falls at the weekend or on a public holiday). 3. The FTSE UK Gilts Indices are to be found on the Market Data page in the Companies & Markets section of the FT. 4. The yield on 5-yr gilts is used instead for drawdown factors for pensioners who are under 23. The corresponding values month-by-month are as follows: | ||||||||||||
