2 Chairman s introduction Welcome to the latest edition of the Delco Electronics Overseas Corporation Pension Plan Annual Popular Report, in which we tell you about developments in the Delco Electronics Overseas Corporation Pension Plan (the Plan ) during In this report we have provided an update on the following: Budget changes Actuarial Valuation - 1 January 2014 AVC review Pension Department Website The purpose of the Popular Report is to not only include an update on the facts and figures, but also to keep you informed of key developments and provide you with reassurance that the Plan is being well managed. We welcome any feedback you might have and, in particular, if you have any suggestions for future articles, please let us know. Ian Gaskell Chairman 2
3 Budget changes In the March 2014 Budget, the Chancellor announced proposals to introduce greater flexibility over how people with a Defined Contribution ( DC ) pension plan can take their retirement benefits. Some of the changes were effective from March 2014 and others will become effective from April As your main scheme benefits are Defined Benefit ( DB ), you will not be affected, but there could be additional flexibility for AVCs. The Company and Trustees will review the new legislation and update you on any changes. The State pension age will increase to 67 in 2028 and at the same time the Government proposes to increase the earliest age members can access their occupational pension to 57. In future, the minimum pension age will rise in line with the State pension age, to maintain a ten-year differential. The Government announced that it was consulting on ceasing transfers out of DB pension schemes to DC pension schemes. Following the consultation it was decided that transfers should be allowed to continue but the member must take independent financial advice if their pension benefits are valued above 30,000. Trustees will be required to check that advice has been taken before the transfer can take place. Currently, your right to a statutory transfer value is up to one year before normal retirement age. From April 2015, subject to the Company and Trustee adopting the new legislation, members will be allowed to transfer out of schemes right up to the point of retirement. Small lump sums pensions with a cash value of 10,000 or less can be taken as a one-off lump sum, with 25% tax-free and the remainder taxable at your normal tax rate. 3
4 Actuarial Valuation What is an Actuarial Valuation? By law, the Plan must carry out a financial health check at least every three years and this is known as an Actuarial Valuation. The purpose of this is to assess the expected costs of paying for or settling the benefits to the members that have built up to the Valuation Date (known as Liabilities, or Technical Provisions) and compare this with the assets held by the Plan. If the assets are less than the liabilities then a Recovery Plan is agreed between the Trustees and the Company to make up the shortfall. The triennial valuation of the plan commenced on 1 January 2014 and the preliminary results were reviewed with the Trustees in October Due to the longevity of the members and the yield on gilts it is anticipated that the deficit will have increased since the last valuation, despite the Company making significant contributions into the Plan and the Plan having experienced better than expected investment returns. The Actuary compares these two figures for the Actuarial Valuation: Assets - The money the Plan has available Technical Provisions (Liabilities) - The money expected to be needed to pay benefits to the members Funding Summary The funding level at 1 January 2011 was 73.2% Assets Technical Provisions Deficit 118.0m 161.3m 43.3m 4
5 AVC review The Trustees are responsible for monitoring the performance of the Plan s investments and this includes the AVC arrangements. The Trustees recently engaged Towers Watson to conduct a review of the current AVC arrangements to ensure they remain suitable for members. Currently the AVC arrangement comprises eight different funds; seven with Fidelity and a With-Profits fund with Prudential. No changes are being made to the Prudential With-Profits fund for past or future contributions The funds being closed to future contributions are: Fund Charge* Fidelity Moneybuilder Global 2.33% Fidelity Global Focus 1.73% Fidelity UK Growth 1.70% Fidelity European Opportunities 1.72% What is changing? The choice of funds available from Fidelity, along with the Lifestyle option. Four of the funds currently offered will be closed to future contributions from 1 December The remaining three funds will continue to accept contributions, and four new funds will be offered, plus a new Lifestyle strategy. No further contributions will be paid into the old Lifestyle strategy, and members will have the option to switch their past contributions into the new Lifestyle strategy. These changes are mainly being made to provide a broader range of assets to invest in and to lower fund charges. 5
6 AVC review The new fund range for future contributions will be: Fund Asset class Management style Charge Fidelity Gross Accumulating Cash Money markets Active 0.40% Fidelity Long Bond Long-dated bonds Active 0.33% Fidelity BlackRock Over 5 years Index-Linked Gilt Index-linked gilts Passive 0.45% Fidelity Threadneedle Property Commercial property Active 1.27% Fidelity BlackRock Global Equity 50/50 Global equities Passive 0.65% Fidelity BlackRock World (ex-uk) Equity Non-UK equities Passive 0.65% Fidelity Moneybuilder UK Index UK equities Passive 0.30% Under the old Lifestyle strategy, contributions were initially invested primarily in the Fidelity Moneybuilder Global fund. This fund is being closed to future contributions partly because members investing in this fund are subject to high charges. Under the new Lifestyle strategy, contributions are initially invested in the Fidelity BlackRock World (ex-uk) Equity fund and the Fidelity Moneybuilder UK Index fund, which are subject to lower charges. 6

11 Financial overview Investment overview 2013 again started on a hopeful note following strong investment returns as the world recovered from recession following the financial crisis. Positive economic data in the UK as well as from leading economies such as the US helped improve investor sentiment, whilst policy actions from global central banks indicated their continued commitment to support the recovery. Stocks rose for nine of the 12 months, but concerns about tighter monetary policy, particularly in the US, dampened investor sentiment in June, August and November. The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) of Japan s victory in the Lower House elections in late 2012 marked a key turning point for the Japanese market. The reflationary policies of the new Shinzo Abe government fuelled a sharp correction in the Yen and set in motion a pro-cyclical rally. Aggressive easing measures from the Bank of Japan (BoJ) exceeded all expectations, further strengthening the tailwind for Japanese stocks. The search for income continued as interest rates remained low around the world. This lead to strong gains from property, high yield bonds and in many cases equities with attractive dividend rates. Investors withdrew from riskier assets in the run-up to the Fed s decision to scale back its stimulus programme, leading to a significant fall in share prices in the middle of the year and declines in both emerging market equities and bonds. Global long-term interest rates also rose after the Fed s announcement leading to falling gilt and liability values. Towards the year-end, and following a strong asset rally in the fourth quarter, investors started to become more cautious. They worried about the end of QE in the US, declining inflation in Europe and slowing growth in China, which led to a gradual reassessment of asset values.
