The Baby Boomers Reach Retirement!
Retirement Crisis
RetirementOpportunity
The population of pre-retirees and retirees is projected to
increase by 30 million by 2020
1450+ people turn 65 years old every day that’s about 1 every minute (UK ONS)
People are living longer…
…and are starting to retire without the cushion of a guaranteed DB pension

The Problem
WE ARE POURING CHAMPAGNE DOWN THE DRAIN !!!
• Only 2 in 5 people annuitizing contract basedplans use the OMO (source PICA)
• Only 1 in 4 people annuitising trust basedbenefits use the OMO (source PICA)
• 40% of annuitants qualify for enhancedannuities but only 8% of annuities are seton an enhanced basis (source PICA)
PICA = Pension Income Choice Association
RETIREMENT OPTIONS 7 CSC Proprietary and Confidential
So Why Does That Matter?
• There is a 20% range between the best and worst rate on the OMO
• Enhanced annuities on average give a 20% enhancement on the best OMO rate
• Only 8% of those with a choice of indexation chose RPI/CPI ... NOPI – But Why?
• Only 1 in 10 annuities purchased have a spouse’s pension
(source PICA)
Is it Lack of Engagement ?
RETIREMENT OPTIONS 8 CSC Proprietary and Confidential
Why’s That?
The vast majority of those who purchase annuities are not aware of the
implications of
• Postcode
• Health
• Indexation
Nor have they discussed
– Unit-linked annuities
– Flexible pensions
– Scheme pensions
– Income drawdown
– Flexible drawdown

What is the problem - Pre-retirement ?
• The average number of money purchase arrangements aggregated by Annuity Direct is 3 – how many have you got?
• There are c£20bn of unclaimed pension benefits in the UK-the vast majority are DC benefits which are untraced.
• According to Annuity Direct c85% of annuities processed invested prior to claim in funds with >60% in equities
• 90% of annuitants had made no manual adjustment to asset allocations in 10 years before retiring

So why do at retirement transactional risks matter?
On Monday 9 August 2011, the intra-day variance between the low and high points of the FTSE100 was 899bps
• Annuitants on the day had no control of – The intra-day timing of disinvestment
– Any spreads or market dilutions on the price at which units were sold
• Think about the legacy

The real return provided by annuities is narrowing
Why do alternative market solutions matter?
CSC 20 November 2008 13
What is driving the conventional and enhanced annuity market?
External factors
The UK annuity market is under pressure from •EU Solvency II •Test-Chats •Falling gilt-yields •Mortality improvements
Competition• There are 9 competitive enhanced
annuity providers
• There are a handful of specialist providers of alternative pensions
• There are now 6 competitive standard rate lifetime annuity providers
CSC 20 November 2008 14
What are the alternative solutions?
• Flexible pensions
• Income drawdown
• Flexible drawdown
• Scheme pensions
• Unit-linked annuities
RETIREMENT OPTIONS 15 CSC Proprietary and Confidential
What are the alternative solutions ?
Alternatives Suitability Guarantees Drawbacks Availability
Flexible pensions
Healthy retirees Yes Lower initial income Improving
Income drawdown
Fund of £150k + No Subject to markets and GAD rates
Mature market
Flexible drawdown
Fund of £500k+ Partial (£20k minimum income requirement)
Tax treatment of death benefits
Very limited
Scheme pensions
Potentially everyone ? ? Due a come back
Unit-linked annuities
The informed investor Partial - Tontine Income at riskLongevity risk
Limited
• There are only a handful of annuity bureaus geared to advise on these alternatives
– Is demand likely to increase and is capacity scalable?
– Is it suitable for the workplace?
RETIREMENT OPTIONS 16 CSC Proprietary and Confidential
Why is there so much talk about collective DC ?
• No issues with solvency II or Test-Achats• Increased exposure to “real assets”• Economies of scale• Mutual insurance using tontine
BUT• No counter-party for longevity risk• No obvious pool• Currently little political interest
“Estimates vary, but it is our belief that for no additional cost, pension outcomes could be improved by 50% or more, compared to a typical DC pension which might be offered today”

What is the challenge?
Annuity type
From Age Joint or single
Increases Conversion rate
Conventional
60 Joint 50% spouse
CPI 28.1:1
Scheme(LTA current)
60 Joint 50% spouse
CPI 20 :1
GAD –reducing the Annual Allowance – Oct 2010

RETIREMENT OPTIONS 19 CSC Proprietary and Confidential
Why should this be sorted through the workplace?
• Employee Value Proposition
• Abolition of Default Retirement Age
• Cost effective (leveraging value of individual’s lifetime retirement savings)
• On tPR’s governance horizon – decumulation one of the 6 areas to improve DC outcomes
CSC 20 November 2008 20
Technology encouraging career long holistic planning
RETIREMENT OPTIONS 21 CSC Proprietary and Confidential
Time for Action: A Company OR a Trustee Issue?
•Most DB members have DC
pots (not all of which will be
commuted)
•DC trustees need to be concerned that only ¼ of members use OMO
•This is in tPRs line of sight
TRUSTEES
•Only 1/5 annuities purchased (by value) arise from employee’s final workplace scheme (source Annuity Direct)
•Employee Value Proposition
•Using DC for commutation
•Easiest and cheapest means of facilitating retirement
COMPANIES
BOTH
RETIREMENT OPTIONS 22 CSC Proprietary and Confidential
How Can Companies/Trustees Get Engagement?
• Nudging starting well before “normal” retirement age
• Nudging through cost effective media - phones, social media and similar
• Engaging Communication - “Wake up packs and pension passports”
• Facilitated, part or fully subsidised advice
RETIREMENT OPTIONS 23 CSC Proprietary and Confidential
What can the NAPF do?
• Accelerate the importance of At Retirement assistance through PQM ?
• Encourage provision of at retirement service to all members (DB as well as DC) ?
