Agenda Pension changes – headlines. How will consumers react to change? Some of the unknowns and some of the pension planning opportunities. Is higher rate tax relief on pension contributions at risk? The value of cash flow modelling

Pension Changes - Headlines 2014/15 New – effective from 27 March 2014 Capped Drawdown maximum GAD 150% Flexible Drawdown Minimum Income Requirement £12,000 Trivial commutation limit increased to £30,000 Small pots limit increased to £10,000 per arrangement and a maximum number of payments increased to 3 The purchase of an annuity can be deferred for longer than 6 months after taking PCLS, to allow individuals to benefit from the proposed new rules

The closing date for responses to the consultation is Wednesday 11 June The 10 questions posed in the consultation consider the application rather than the creation of the legislation, for example; “what more can be done to ensure the guidance is available at key decision points during retirement?” “how can the government design the new system such that it enables innovation in the retirement income market?” Why has the Government proposed to change the way in which pension benefits can be taken?

George Osborne “The annuities market is currently not working in the best interests of all consumers. It is neither competitive nor innovative and some consumers are getting a poor deal. It is time for a bold, modern and progressive reform.” “This is the most fundamental change to how people can access their pension in nearly a century.” Source: Chancellor v Regulator….. What retirement planning vehicle would you normally consider for a client with less than a £100,000 fund?

Falling out of love with annuities?

FCA’s Thematic review of annuities: Findings –60% of consumers do not switch when they buy an annuity. –For standard annuities an estimated 79% could get a better deal on the open market. –For enhanced annuities an estimated 91% could get a better deal on the open market. Source: StandardEnhanced Average fund size used for annuity purchase£17,000£26,800 Average annual income achieved from existing pension provider£1,000£1,630 Average amount of annual increase in income£67£135 Average proportion annual income could be increased by6.7%8.3% Estimated annual income gains by consumers from purchasing an annuity on the open market

Saving less for retirement Government concerned that a lack of choice at the point of retirement will undermine confidence in longer term saving. Source for table: pdf pdf

and living longer*… male 12 year life expectancy male 21 year life expectancy female 15 year life expectancy female 24 year life expectancy Government concerned that annuities might not be the correct product for everyone - rates have reduced as life expectancy has increased. *Source:: pdf pdf

Current tax system for accessing DC at retirement Pension pot Tax free lump sum Full withdrawal (at marginal rate) Annuity Full withdrawal Capped drawdown Flexible drawdown £30,000 (previously £18,000) £310,000* *This is a stylised assumption based on an individual with a full basic state pension of £5,744 per year, who takes the max. PCLS from their DC plan and purchases a single life, level, no guarantee annuity worth £14,256 p.a. (an annuity rate of 6.1%) at age 65.

How many retirees will use their pension pot to buy an annuity, according to research? Poll of 1,000 scheme members conducted by Hymans Robertson Source: only-25-of-retirees-will-use-pension-pot-to-buy-an-annuity,-according-to-research.aspxhttp:// only-25-of-retirees-will-use-pension-pot-to-buy-an-annuity,-according-to-research.aspx OptionsPercentage Use “most or all” of their pension pot to buy an annuity when they retire 25% Take most of their pension pot as cash to spend in other ways and some to buy an annuity 32% Not buy an annuity and take their whole pension pot as cash to spend in other ways 12% Not buy an annuity, keep control of their money and draw an income from the pot each year 31%

Other survey “highlights” Defined contribution scheme members closer to retirement take a more negative view of the value of annuity. 34% of scheme members aged over 51 felt that annuities “are not flexible enough for (my) retirement plans compared to 20% of people under % of scheme members aged over 51 felt that annuities were “poor value for (my) savings” compared to 21% of people under % of DC scheme members agree that they are confident about self-managing the money built up in pension pots throughout their retirement compared to 19% who aren’t. Still early days and when the moment of truth comes what price will individuals place on the value of a guarantee?

Some of the unknowns… What will the pension death benefit tax charge be? Can you crystalise some funds and continue to contribute to pension? Can over 75’s contribute if they have already crystallised funds at an earlier date? What will pensioners bonds look like? What will guidance look like for a consumer? Will the minimum age to access private pensions increase?

Does the power of tax relief swing the pendulum in favour of the pension wrapper? ?
