3 1. INTRODUCTION On 31 July 2013 The Royal London Mutual Insurance Society Limited ( Royal London ) completed the acquisition of The Co-operative Insurance Society Limited ( CIS ). CIS was originally held as a direct subsidiary of Royal London, and renamed Royal London (CIS) Limited ( RLCIS ). On 30 December 2014, the life insurance business of RLCIS was transferred to Royal London. The transfer was structured in such a way that the business of RLCIS was placed into a newly created sub-fund within the Royal London Long Term Fund, the Royal London (CIS) Sub-Fund ( the fund ), and this was closed to new business at the same time. These changes led to six separate Principles and Practices of Financial Management ( PPFM ) documents being in force during The PPFM documents applicable from 30 December 2014 are as follows: the PPFM for the RLCIS OB & IB Fund (formerly the CIS Long Term Business Fund excluding the CIS With-Profits Stakeholder Fund and the CIS With-Profits Pension Fund) the PPFM for the RLCIS With-Profits Stakeholder Fund (formerly the CIS With-Profits Stakeholder Fund) the PPFM for the RLCIS With-Profits Pension Fund (formerly the CIS With-Profits Pension Fund) The Directors must provide a report each year to with profits policyholders giving information on compliance with the PPFMs. During 2014, the responsibility for the management of the RLCIS with profits business was that of the Directors of RLCIS until the business was transferred to Royal London on 30 December Following the structural changes described above the Directors of Royal London are providing the report in respect of 2014, having taken into account information provided by the Directors of RLCIS before the transfer of the business to Royal London. In this report the Directors means the Directors of Royal London unless otherwise stated. The Directors have reviewed the operation of the fund for 2014 and in their opinion the Directors of RLCIS managed its with profits business appropriately and in accordance with the PPFMs. In coming to this view the Directors have taken account of internal and external professional advice provided during the year, including advice from the independent RLCIS With Profits Actuary, the RLCIS With Profits Committee and the Actuarial Function Holder. This report sets out the main reasons for the Directors opinion and the following sections consider, in turn, governance, the exercise of discretion, competing and conflicting interests, and compliance with the PPFMs. 2. GOVERNANCE Appropriate governance arrangements to monitor compliance with the PPFMs have operated throughout the period in question. PAGE 3
4 Until 30 December 2014 a RLCIS With Profits Committee provided independent advice on the way the fund was managed and an independent view when the Directors of RLCIS were considering the interests of with profits policyholders and monitored compliance with the PPFMs. From 30 December 2014, in common with Royal London s standard with profits governance model, this role is now provided by the Royal London With Profits Committee. Further input as appropriate was provided to the Directors of RLCIS and Royal London from the relevant With Profits Actuary and the Actuarial Function Holder. A short report to policyholders from the former RLCIS With Profits Actuary confirming his view is attached. 3. EXERCISE OF DISCRETION The main areas in which discretion is exercised in the operation of with profits business are setting bonus rates, investment strategy, setting surrender values, allocation of expenses and the management of the estate. SETTING BONUS RATES The normal regular reviews of bonus rates were carried out throughout This resulted in the following three bonus declarations: Final bonuses for Accumulating With Profits (AWP) business were declared in February Annual bonuses and final bonuses for Traditional With Profits (TWP) business, and annual bonuses for AWP business were declared in April Final bonuses for AWP business were declared in September In making these declarations, the Directors of RLCIS took account of advice from the independent RLCIS With Profits Actuary and the Actuarial Function Holder, and followed the requirements of the PPFM. The Directors of RLCIS also took account of advice from the RLCIS With Profits Committee. INVESTMENT STRATEGY The aim of the investment strategy remains to maximise the long term return on investments for with profits policyholders whilst recognising the need for the fund to meet its guaranteed liabilities and commitments to policyholders and maintaining the estate at or close to the target size. A common statistic used to categorise the level of investment risk is the proportion of the assets that are invested in equity and property. The overall proportion backing the different categories of with profit business at the end of 2014 is set out below: PAGE 4
5 RLCIS OB & IB Fund AWP business 69% TWP business excl. Table P 54% TWP Table P business 1 39% RLCIS With-Profits Pension Fund All WP business 60% RLCIS With-Profits Stakeholder Fund All WP business 60% These proportions are all broadly similar to those at the end of Different asset mixes continue to be attributed to different business lines, reflecting the nature of the guarantees provided for each contract. SETTING OF SURRENDER VALUES The normal regular reviews of market value reduction (MVR) factors were carried out over the course of 2014 although no changes were required to these factors over the year. The approach used to determine surrender values for TWP contracts during 2014 was the same as that used in ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES Over the course of 2014 the expenses allocated to with profits policies were maintained in line with the terms of the sale and purchase agreement between Royal London and Cooperative Banking Group. Throughout 2014 the allocation of expenses to policies has been in line with the PPFMs. Charges for policies covered by the RLCIS With-Profits Stakeholder Fund PPFM were no more than the maximum permitted under the Stakeholder regulations. MANAGEMENT OF THE ESTATE There were no material changes to the methods of monitoring and managing the estate during 2014 as they continue to operate effectively. MANAGEMENT OF RISK Royal London continuously seeks to obtain independent assurance that its systems of risk management and internal controls are operating effectively. In addition we obtain independent opinions on the effectiveness of the key systems and controls throughout the organisation. This includes evaluating the effectiveness and adequacy of the risk management processes and ensuring compliance with policies and procedure. The 1 To better match the term of the liabilities, interest rate swaps have been specifically allocated to Table P pension business. PAGE 5
6 effectiveness of internal controls and the risk management infrastructure is also specifically considered by our external auditors in the context of their review of our financial statements. There are a number of actions to mitigate the business risks that are run within the fund including exposures to investment, expense, mortality, morbidity and lapse risks. CHANGES TO PPFM Updated versions of the PPFMs were published on 30 December 2014 following the Part VII transfer of RLCIS business into the Royal London (CIS) Sub-Fund. All changes to the PPFM are approved by the Directors. 4. COMPETING OR CONFLICTING RIGHTS, INTERESTS AND EXPECTATIONS In any with profits fund, different groups of policyholders could have competing or conflicting interests. For example, holders of: policies of different types (such as life or pension policies or regular or single premium); policies of different sizes or different policy terms; policies which started in different years or mature in different years; or policyholders: of different ages; claiming for different reasons (for example maturity, death, surrender); exercising different policy options; could receive different benefits relative to each other depending on how discretion is exercised. Any conflicts which have arisen have been appropriately and fairly resolved, in the Directors opinion, after taking expert advice, where necessary. This expert advice has been provided by the relevant With Profits Actuary, the Actuarial Function Holder and the relevant With Profits Committee as appropriate. 5. COMPLIANCE WITH PPFM MANAGEMENT OF THE ESTATE During 2014, the Directors of RLCIS were provided with information and actuarial reports on a regular basis regarding the current and projected financial position of the fund. PAGE 6
7 The working capital of the fund was considered sufficient given the provisioning for risks, and consequently no actions were taken to retain profits or distribute part of the working capital to policyholders. NEW BUSINESS VOLUMES The volume and mix of new business was regularly monitored throughout the year against the planned volume and business mix. The profitability of new business was also monitored regularly throughout the year, to ensure that there was no detriment to the interest of with profits policyholders. No new business has been written within the fund since it closed to new business on 30 December INVESTMENT STRATEGY During 2014 the Capital Management Committee met 15 times. Technical papers on investment strategy were presented during the year and advice from the relevant With Profits Actuary and the Actuarial Function Holder was obtained where appropriate. The performance of the investment manager was monitored by the Capital Management Committee, the Investment Committee and the Directors of RLCIS. Changes to benchmarks were approved by the Directors of RLCIS. POLICY BENEFITS PAYABLE The methodology used to set bonuses and policy benefits followed the approach set out in the PPFMs. The bonus rates declared differed between product types and classes. An exercise to review compliance with the target ranges for maturity and surrender payouts published in the PPFM was carried out. This demonstrated that the target ranges had been complied with during CONCLUSION In the opinion of the Directors, throughout 2014 the Directors of RLCIS managed its with profits business appropriately and in accordance with the PPFMs. P LONEY GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE 20 MAY 2015 PAGE 7
8 REPORT FROM THE WITH PROFITS ACTUARY To the With Profits Policyholders of the Royal London (CIS) Sub-Fund I acted as With Profits Actuary to Royal London (CIS) Limited ( RL (CIS), previously the Co-operative Insurance Society Limited) from 30 September 2010 until its long term business was transferred to Royal London on 30 December In that capacity, it is my responsibility to advise the Board of Royal London on the management of the with profits business of RL (CIS) during 2014, and to report to with profits policyholders on the exercise of discretion in relation to that business. In my opinion the attached report and the discretion exercised by the Board of RL (CIS) in respect of 2014 may be regarded as having taken the interests of with-profits policyholders into account in a reasonable and proportionate manner. In reaching this opinion I have taken into account the information and explanations provided to me by the management of RL (CIS) and Royal London, relevant rules and guidance issued by the Financial Conduct Authority and applicable standards and guidance issued by the Financial Reporting Council.
