Originality or value of the research. Financial literacy is one of the decisive factors in increasing the level of financial well-being and proper retirement planning. With economic growth slowing and inflation rising, one of the low indicators of financial literacy is the lack of retirement planning skills. For a more detailed understanding of the relationship between financial literacy and pension planning, the authors studied a number of data on the management of pension assets and the possibility of opening a pension annuity. The study's findings may be useful for further improving the effectiveness of government policies. Research results. The results of the study indicate that pension asset management is inextricably linked with the level of financial literacy. The opportunity to receive lifetime pension payments using a pension annuity is extremely small and amounts to only 0,07 % of the total number of open pension accounts. To make maximum use of the pension annuity product, government support is needed to increase the level of financial literacy of the country's population.
