Role: <insert job title> Contact details: <insert email address / phone number>    Company name: <insert company name> Company Address: <insert company address> Company information: <insert brief summary of adviser firm’s expertise> <Hello and welcome. I’m < as above> > I am pleased to be here today because I am currently developing a referral network in equity release.   I am qualified to advise on equity release solutions through the <insert Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) /the Institute of Financial Services (IFS)>. <So let’s start with the basics.> Equity release is a way for homeowners to receive a cash payment from their home without having to sell it and move out, that is repaid when they die or go into long term care. Equity is the value in a property that represents the current market value, minus any outstanding mortgage payments. Please note: equity release is a long term financial commitment which will last until death or until permanently leave the property for long term care. There can be substantial early repayment charges for ending the agreement early.

What are the reasons for choosing equity release? Slide 3 (Optional) What are the reasons for choosing equity release? 31% Short term debt (1)   24% outstanding mortgage (1) 61% Home improvements (1)   16% Regular bills (1) UK Population 2024   26% Over 60 years old(1) Millennials’ attitudes towards property (2)   61% My home is my number one financial priority (2) 35% My generation has been priced out the property market (2) To start, here are a few statistics with particular relevance to equity release. Some people are using equity release to clear short term debts. 31% of people are repaying short term debts, with 24% using equity release to pay off an outstanding mortgage. Equity release could be a viable option for some older borrowers who may have capital to repay on their interest-only mortgages. In 2015 home improvements (61%) was the most common reason for taking out equity release. And research shows that 16% of people were taking out equity release to help them meet the cost of regular bills. By 2024, 26% of the population will be over 60. As people continue to live longer, making funds stretch further could become increasingly difficult. This could result in equity release becoming an essential part of everyday retirement planning. Then we consider the next generation. These are often young people in good jobs who find it impossible to get on the housing ladder. As we will see, equity release has the potential to help them.

Equity release: market overview Slide 4 (Optional) Equity release: market overview Market value: 25 years of UK home ownership (3) The result ‘69% of homeowners over 45 say their property is worth more than their pensions, savings and investments combined’ (4) Location Then (Q4/1991) Now (Q1/2017) Growth UK average £53,635 £206,665 285% London average £75,322 £478,782 536% Market drivers  Mortgage availability (high loan to value ratios) Low interest rate environment (post financial crisis) Low level of housing supply creates demand <Let’s take a step back and briefly examine the source of this huge explosion of UK household wealth.> Looking back over the past 25 years, the average UK residential property’s market value has increased by 285%. For London, the increase was 536%. There were several reasons for this: mortgages were readily available with high loan-to-value ratios (95% to 100%). We’ve also had a low interest rate environment since the financial crisis. There is also the basic economic law of supply and demand. The low supply of housing also boosted house prices. So it is little surprise that around 7 in 10 homeowners over 45 say that their home’s market value is worth more than their pensions and other investments put together. To provide some balance, it’s not always plain sailing. In the third quarter of 1989 UK property prices peaked, then fell, and took until 1997 to get back to where they were. That’s an eight year slump. (3) Nationwide index (All UK Properties) 2017 (4) Aviva Real Retirement Report, Summer 2016

Lifetime mortgages: product overview Slide 5 (Mandatory) Lifetime mortgages: product overview Lifetime Mortgages: Typically come in the form of a ‘lump sum’ or ‘drawdown facility’ In both forms, a loan is secured on the property, after which interest is added annually on a compound basis The following product features will normally apply to all lifetime mortgage schemes: No loan repayments are required until the client dies or goes into long term care Optional inheritance guarantee No negative equity guarantee Option to make voluntary repayments Interest rates are fixed or capped <What does an equity release plan look like?> Lifetime mortgages are the most common form of Equity Release. Home reversion plans are also available where the customer sells part or all of the property to a provider. We’re focussing on lifetime mortgages as these make up the majority of the market. With a lifetime mortgage, the amount a client may be able to borrow depends on their age, residential status, the value of the property, along with a range of other variable factors. Unlike a regular mortgage, clients can choose whether or not they make repayments and interest is added to the loan. Usually, common features shared by lifetime mortgages include: Loan is repaid once the client dies or goes into long term care. Optional inheritance guarantees ensure that an inheritance is left for next of kin. Negative equity guarantees, which ensure that the clients’ estate will never pay back more than the eventual sale price of the property. Equity released from the property is paid tax free. Clients may be able to choose whether or not they make repayments. When interest is charged it is calculated on the amount borrowed and the interest already added, which quickly increases the amount owed. Please note - not all providers offer all types of equity release and products vary between providers

Lifetime mortgages: product overview Slide 6 (Mandatory) Lifetime mortgages: product overview The drawdown product is the more popular type of Lifetime mortgage(5): Lump sum Releases a one-off lump sum May allow clients to borrow more initially than a drawdown product Interest is charged on the full amount borrowed from the outset. Drawdown Releases a smaller initial lump sum Allows access to further releases in the future by setting up a cash reserve Interest is only charged as each amount is released Key considerations Lifetime mortgages are only available to homeowners over 55 and minimum property values apply May affect clients' tax position and eligibility for means tested benefits Reduces inheritance available for beneficiaries, which can reduce to nothing Substantial penalties for ending the lifetime mortgage early Costs to set up the scheme May affect ability to move home or may be unable to release more equity in the future. Drawdown lifetime mortgages tend to be the most popular type of equity release product, accounting for 65% of products chosen in 2016 Lump Sum products: The client receives a lump sum tax-free, which could be used for one-off payments such as clearing small outstanding mortgages, other debts or funding home improvements. The clients will be able to borrow more initially Releases a single lump sum Interest is charged on the full amount borrowed from the outset Drawdown products: Flexible option lifetime mortgages provide clients with the option to release property wealth in instalments and can help meet smaller costs or boost retirement income over the longer term.   Releases an initial sum, allowing clients to release further amounts in the future with a cash reserve. Interest is charged as each amount is released Key Considerations Equity release may affect a clients’ tax position and eligibility for means tested benefits. Releasing the equity from property reduces available inheritance for beneficiaries, which can reduce to nothing. Equity release is a long term commitment, as it may not be possible to borrow more or move home, and there are early repayment charges, which can be substantial. It’s restricted to people over 55. The loan secured on the property is repaid when the person dies or goes into long-term care. Costs include arrangement charges, valuation costs, legal and adviser fees   (5) Equity Release Council Market Report, Spring 2017

Equity release and your clients: Lifetime mortgages Slide 7 (Optional) Equity release and your clients: Lifetime mortgages UK homeowners over the age of 55 No mortgage or only a small mortgage to repay from the proceeds of the loan The amount the customer is able to borrow depends on the value and type of property, and other factors including their individual circumstances. The actual LTV will depend on the customer’s personal circumstances. With a lifetime mortgage, the amount a client may be able to borrow depends on their age, residential status and the value of the property, along with a range of other variable factors. Typical loan to value Age 65 Age 75 Couple Around 29% Around 40% Single Around 30% Around 41%

Equity release: client safety and protection Slide 9 (Mandatory) Equity release: client safety and protection Equity Release Council – aims To ensure products are safe and accessible for consumers. Works with regulators, government and industry to promote the sector and its role in supporting an ageing population. Equity Release Council – members and standards Members include equity release providers such as Aviva. Standards Board ensures products are safe and reliable for consumers.

It was created to promote safe equity release schemes and to safeguard the interests of homeowners. The Council works with regulators, government and industry to promote the sector and its role in supporting an ageing population. Members include equity release providers such as Aviva.

Alternatives to equity release Slide 10 (Mandatory) Independent advice 1. Client’s personal situation Tax position Family/beneficiaries Will Independent legal adviser Estate planning (Inheritance Tax) Health/life expectancy 2. Alternatives to equity release Downsizing Local authority grants Savings and pension income Financial assistance from family member(s) State benefits 3. Product solution Balanced overview of all options Overview of equity release products Understands the features, risks and benefits of the suitable product Recommends the most appropriate solution based on the individual’s personal circumstances. Independent advice is a regulatory requirement for equity release. This is not an ‘off the peg’ solution. In addition to their regulatory responsibilities, adviser members of the Equity Release Council must follow strict guidelines – the Statement of Principles – as part of the advice process. As you can see here, selecting the appropriate product is the very last stage of the process Here’s a summary of some of the key areas. I would consider the client’s tax position and ensure that the client speaks to their family and any other beneficiaries, as it will reduce any inheritance, and will advise my client that they need to consult an independent legal adviser. I would outline the impact on their will and estate planning and how any released funds may impact on their ability to fund long-term care. I would also discuss the customer’s health and life expectancy and take into account the effect of positive and negative changes in house values, that this is a long term commitment and that there can be substantial early repayment charges. I would discuss alternatives to equity release including: downsizing; local authority grants; savings; pension income and financial assistance from any family member, as this is a long term commitment which could impact their ability to move home or release more equity. I will establish or refer for investigation the customer’s eligibility for state benefits and the effect equity release has on them. I will give a balanced overview of the pros and cons of both lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans. I will ensure that the client clearly understands the features, risks and benefits, as well as the costs of setting up the plan including legal fees and cost of advice of the product recommended.
