1 The role of private pension in Homo-Hundred era Many a little makes a mickle many a pixel makes a picture by Yvonne Sin Towers Watson 26 September 2013
2 Outline The retirement gap challenge The emerging role of public/private partnership Need to overcome inertia De-risking and innovation to complement retirement planning 2

4 Retirement security comes from multiple sources Can or will governments fund more? Will governments force more savings? Will employers help or encourage savings? Will families provide for each other? Will consumers choose to save more? Government / State Pension Property Mandatory / Voluntary Occupational Pensions Personal Savings Family Support SECURITY? 4

7 Will private pensions be the emerging policy option for closing the pensions gap? Pace of pension reform has accelerated over past decade Governments have been lowering public pensions for future generations of retirees Increasing pensionable ages, automatic adjustment mechanisms, strengthening work incentives, and extending the coverage of private pensions including compulsory private pension systems Coverage rates for private pensions in many countries remain low despite relatively low public pension benefits Young, low income, part-time and temporary workers most unlikely to participate in private pensions Clearly, individuals need to learn to do more themselves, but Do they know they have a problem? Do they know what solutions can be put in place? Do they know how to get solutions in place and from whom? 7

12 In short, a socio-economic-demographic storm is building up Ageing populations and higher dependency ratios Higher quality of life expectations with greater wealth accumulation Increasing longevity Workforce mobility Growing demand for and increasing yearly and total costs of medical care in retirement Breakdown of the extended family support system 12

15 Many initiatives seem to be emerging Regulator drive for fund simplicity, competition and lower fees MPF earnings cap has been raised twice in the past 3 years Draw-down phase? Possible National Pension Scheme Possible enhancement of Provident Fund scheme Thailand Hong Kong Shanghai Pension Pilot may include foreigners China South Korea Japan Funding for severance pay and retirement benefits using blended DB and DC plans EPFs to be abolished following investment scandal Limited tax advantages Recent life insurance regulation on unit-linked Recent opening of Private Retirement Scheme - 8 licensed providers, mostly asset management companies Simplification of annuity options under CPF Life Source: Towers Watson (2013) Malaysia Singapore India Indonesia Government encourages DPLK funds Some relaxation of tax penalties on cash at retirement Possible funding of severance benefits Philippines Vietnam Myanmar Taiwan Trusts gaining prevalence Early days for PERA schemes Increase in social security contributions on the agenda Move to DC funding for leaving service benefit 2013 opening of private retirement scheme market (simple scope) Banking and insurance now privatizing. Will pensions be next? 15
16 Individuals still face many unanswered questions as to how best to prepare for the retirement challenge How do I ensure I will have a comfortable life in retirement?? How much will I need when I retire?? Where will my retirement income come from?? How much do I need to put away now and in the future to get there?? How should I manage my money to get there and stay there? 16
17 A more effective approach to savings is needed Traditional Approach Members focus on the here and now Saving what they can, when they can Hoping it will deliver a good outcome Little thought given to what they need or their ability to take investment risk or how their circumstances will change over time Decisions made at joining are rarely changed A low engagement environment More Focused Approach Members set their objectives (using some simple tools) and focus on how they are going to achieve it Recognising what they want to achieve their ability to take investment risk and how their circumstances are likely to change over time Progress against target can be monitored Buying a retirement income and then paying the loan off (like a mortgage) A higher engagement environment 17
18 What are the real risks in the quest for retirement security? Will I have enough when I retire? Will my retirement savings outlive me or will I outlive them? Will I have to cash out investments at a bad time? What if my plans change or something goes wrong? What if I become disabled or chronically ill? Retirement security is a function of Cash / Income / Growth 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% -10% -20% -30% Source: Towers Watson Asset Model (2013) Annualised return projection RISK VOLATILITY EQ 95th percentile EQ 5th percentile EQ median at year 20 FI 95th percentile FI 5th percentile FI median at year Year 8.6% 4.8% 18
