The lifetime income guarantee provided by an annuity is
funded by investment growth, the annuitant’s own capital
and the capital released by those dying early
Expected composition of each annuity payment for a male aged 65
purchasing an annuity for £100,000 providing an income of £7,773 payable at
the end of each year to all annuitants still alive.

An annuity is the best option for
most of the mass market





Most pensioners have limited means
Mass market households are likely to have to
accept a relatively simple strategy with default
options
Primary focus on maximising retirement income
Reliance on State and any housing equity for
providing for health care and other retirement
contingencies
Bequests typically left more by chance
 mainly
in form of residual housing equity
15
Optimisation for the mass affluent is
very complex




Optimisation is an extremely difficult task for pensioners in
their 60s looking forward to retirements of 20 years or
more
Very difficult task to optimise controlled run down of
pensioner’s assets throughout retirement
Pensioners have varying needs and face many risks
Many pensioners have not focused on many of these risks:


makes optimisation difficult
Optimal solutions are likely to differ:

because each set of needs and risks differ
16
As life expectancy reduces
optimisation becomes easier

Fortunately as people get older, optimisation task becomes easier:
 fewer risks around
 investment considerations become easier
 when people go into nursing home income expenditure become less
volatile

How retirement income products can be
improved
18
Issues to take into account




People need reassurance that it pays to save
Pension death benefits are generous for
phased withdrawal – not for annuities
Phasing into annuitization may be more
acceptable
Annuity products with equity linking might be
valuable for those who are sufficiently risk
tolerant
19
Money-back or capital-protected annuity

Any pooling of mortality needs to be perceived
to be fair by the public:
 Currently,
this is not true!
 At younger ages, annuity mortality cross-subsidy
gives poor value to those dying early

Money-back or capital-protected annuity:
 Removes
single biggest consumer objection to
annuities:
“If I die soon after I retire, the annuity provider
will keep my fund”

US-style variable annuity




GMAB – guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit
 Guaranteed minimum fund at end of accumulation phase
GMDB – guaranteed minimum death benefit
 Guaranteed minimum fund on death of insured
GMIB – guaranteed minimum income benefit
 e.g. ‘five for life’
 but < annuity and higher charges, e.g. 60bp for 5% guarantee
 when VA was offering ‘5 for life’, fixed annuity was offering
‘7.5 for life’
GMWB – guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit
 guaranteed minimum amount from fund on periodic basis,
regardless of fund performance
 if for life, then equivalent to GMIB
22
Other new product ideas

Advanced life deferred annuity (ALDA)
 An
annuity that begins paying after a significant deferral
period, e.g. 20 or 30 years

Life care annuity
 An
income annuity that pays an increased benefit if the
purchaser needs care
23
Insurance firm solvency and
risk-based capital
24
Solvency II (2014)


Three pillar approach in EU (same as Basel II):
Pillar 1:

Minimum capital charges will apply to:


Standard Model or Internal Risk Based (IRB) Model to
determine regulatory capital:


aim to bring regulatory capital closer to economic capital
Pillar 2

Supervisory pillar


underwriting, credit, market and operational risks
operates ‘ladder of intervention’ between SCR and MCR
Pillar 3

Market discipline through greater information disclosure
25
Solvency II (2014)

Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR)

Set as minimum capital to attract S&P BBB rating:



‘has good financial security characteristics, but is more likely
to be affected by adverse business conditions than are higher
rated insurers’
Equiv to 99.5% probability that insurer survives one year
 i.e., can experience a single 1-in-200 year negative
event and still meet all its liabilities to policyholders
Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR)
Minimum level of regulatory capital needed
 Below this supervisor will order suspension of new
business or winding up of whole firm


unless firm offers credible recovery plan

Implications of an ageing population

Living standards likely to fall in some countries
with fast-ageing populations:
GDP growth in EU and Japan could fall from 2% to 1% pa
 US likely to escape this fall




Higher growth rates in countries with slower
ageing populations
More volatile stock markets


due to more flexible labour markets
As capital flows to economies with higher returns
Lower real interest rates

Investment demand falls with a smaller population

Conclusions

Limited ability to hedge interest rate,
inflation and investment risks long term:
 We
will have to cope with living in an
increasingly volatile financial world

Hedging longevity risk becomes THE single
most important consideration:
 Essential
at the level of the individual
 Feasible at the macro level with longevity
bonds
44
Conclusions

Annuities can be improved:
 Capital
protection
 Smoothing fund
 Deferred annuities
 Linking to care costs


But too much regulatory capital and we kill
the goose that lays the golden egg!
Also high charges can lead to significant
consumer detriment
