1 Annuities and the decumulation phase of retirement Chris Daykin Chairman, PBSS Section of IAA Actuarial Society of Hong Kong 17 September 2008
2 ACCUMULATION AND DECUMULATION The two phases of pension savings (especially DC) > the accumulation phase > contributions accumulated up to retirement age > usually the main focus of attention > the decumulation phase > pension income is drawn down from the accumulated funds > how can this phase best be managed?
3 CASH LUMP SUM AT RETIREMENT Cash instead of pension > popular with participants > can be used to pay off mortgage on house > or to buy a retirement home, car, etc. > gives flexibility for investing as individual wishes > may facilitate handing money on to children > favourable tax treatment in some countries > but it is not directly income in retirement > and may be spent or squandered > and may increase cost of means-tested welfare benefits
4 INCOME WITHDRAWAL Main features > keep accumulated individual fund invested > maintain investment control > withdraw money regularly from fund as pension > purchase annuity at some later date (perhaps) > also known as draw-down > or programmed withdrawal > may be available as flexible withdrawal from fund > or as a specific regulated product (as in UK)
5 INCOME WITHDRAWAL Advantages > allows investment in equities, etc. for longer period > permits greater investment flexibility > permits flexibility in amounts taken each year > not obliged to withdraw the whole fund > when market value of fund is depressed, or > when annuity rates are low > avoids handing whole fund to insurer > can pass to survivors what is left in fund at death
6 INCOME WITHDRAWAL Disadvantages > risk of outliving assets > implications for means-tested welfare benefits > risk of drawing money down too quickly > or too slowly > mortality drag > rising cost of annuities and selection problems > risk of investment returns being below expectation > expenses of contract or of managing assets
7 INCOME WITHDRAWAL Mortality drag The cost of an annuity due can be expressed as follows: ä x = 1 + ( v l x+1 + v 2 l x+2 + v ω-x l ω ) / l x at rate of interest i, where ω is the limit of life = 1 + v l x+1 ä x+1 / l x The extra cost of taking a withdrawal of 1 at age x and then buying an annuity at age x+1, instead of buying an annuity at age x is: v ä x+1 (ä x 1) = v ä x+1 [ 1 - l x+1 / l x ] = v q x ä x+1 The extra cost is effectively the loss of the risk-sharing which would arise under the annuity in respect of those who do not survive from age x to age x+1.
8 INCOME WITHDRAWAL Additional returns (per cent a year) Mortality drag Figure 7 The additional returns required in drawdown to compensate for mortality drag for person attaining age 60 in % 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% women 0% Mortality underlying 2004-based population projections, UK - source: Government Actuary's Department men
9 INCOME WITHDRAWAL Other adverse factors > apart from overcoming mortality drag > there is also the possibility that the terms of annuity pricing might move against the individual > because of falling interest rates, or > because of reassessment of mortality > to gain from deferral the yield on the fund needs to be sufficiently more than the yield implicit in the original annuity pricing basis to overcome these two factors > the probability of not achieving this can be high
10 ANNUITISATION Arguments for > spreads risk of longevity > efficient use of assets to provide lifetime income > individual cannot draw down to provide stable lifetime income as lifetime is uncertain > ensures pension fund money is used to provide pension > avoids reliance on means-tested benefits > ensures that money is received as income > and hence can be taxed
11 ANNUITISATION Arguments against > prevents the pensioner leaving the money to family > if he or she dies early, they lose all their money > but cash on retirement, guarantees, survivors annuities offset this > could also have decreasing term assurance to cover early death > annuities are seen as poor value > annuitants tend to live longer than average > those in poor health may get a bad deal > pension income depends heavily on investment yields (and annuity prices) on day of retirement
12 ANNUITISATION Pricing annuities > allow for age and gender (if permitted!) > pensioner annuitant mortality > allow for selection > allow for lower mortality for higher pensions > allow for improvements in mortality > health status; occupation; smoker/non-smoker > current market redemption yields on bonds > can match portfolio by investing in bonds > adjust yields for risk > expenses > contingency margin and profit
13 ANNUITISATION Pensioners and annuitants > greater longevity increases costs > population mortality is too heavy > strong difference between voluntary/mandatory > mortality highly dependent on nature of covered group > options, e.g. programmed withdrawal > projecting mortality is problematic > prudent margins needed for reserving
14 ANNUITISATION Annuity rates at 5% on various mortality bases - Males ELT15 PML92(C=2010) PMA92(C=2010) PML92(U=2004) Projected population PMA92(U=2004) PMA92(U=2004)mc
15 ANNUITISATION Pension increases > fixed annuities appear attractive (30-40% higher) > if same fund at retirement, increasing or index-linked annuity provides smaller initial pension > effect of inflation > after 20 years, with 5% p.a. inflation, cost of living has increased by 165%, $1000 pension would only be worth $380 in purchasing power > selection, if option > people with increasing annuities tend to be healthier > annuities may offer poor value to less healthy individuals
16 ANNUITISATION Underwriting annuities > differentiate by class of annuitant > but traditionally not underwritten > only the healthy would buy annuities voluntarily > however, compulsory annuitisation changes things > medical questionnaire or examination for impaired lives > enhanced rates for smokers > occupation and postcode/zipcode rating > non-impaired lives become ever more select
17 ANNUITISATION Other types of annuity > with-profit > unit-linked > annuitised fund > successive temporary annuities > new forms of risk-sharing
18 ANNUITISATION With-profit annuities > basic annuity is guaranteed > bonuses awarded at annual actuarial valuation to increase amount of annuity > priced to give a margin for the insurer > a buffer against adverse experience > permits a more flexible investment policy > initial pension is lower than for a level annuity
19 ANNUITISATION Unit-linked annuities > premium invested in unit fund (or funds) > value of account changes with unit price > unit cancellation rate calculated at start as > number of units held by the policyholder > divided by life expectancy at starting age > that number of units is then cancelled at each payment point in respect of all those surviving > income received depends on current unit price > known in USA as TIAA-CREF annuities
20 ANNUITISATION Unit-linked annuities Consider a batch of annuities sold to l x individuals aged x, each purchasing N units. total number of units in force at age x = N lx. Unit cancellation rate is defined as N / e x, e x being the expectation of life at age x. After one year, l x+1 individuals remain (if mortality follows the assumed table) and the number of units cancelled at age x + 1 = l x+1 N/ e x Total number of units in force at age x+1 after annuity payments have been made = N ( l x ( l x+1 / e x )) = N ( l x / e x ) ( e x ( l x+1 / l x )) = N l x+1 e x+1 e x The number of units runs down with a factor of proportionality l y e y ( 0 as y ω), running down in accordance with the number of survivors from the original group according to the assumed mortality table.
21 ANNUITISATION Annuitised fund > unitised fund with choice of investment options > income withdrawal by cancellation of units > between maximum and minimum number > maximum might be as for unit-linked annuity > units from deaths redistributed to survivors > cohort effectively bears own risk of unanticipated improvement in mortality > balance in fund used to purchase conventional annuity at advanced age, e.g. 85
22 ANNUITISATION Successive temporary annuities > buy n year temporary annuity with fraction p of fund > (1-p) remains invested in choice of funds > after n years use q of remaining fund to buy another temporary annuity > (1-p) (1-q) F x+n / F x remains invested, where F x is index of fund size corresponding to age x > continue until advanced age at which balance of fund has to be used to purchase life annuity
23 RISK MANAGEMENT Risks for retirees > longevity risk > market risk on sale of assets > interest rate risk > annuity purchase risk > expense risk > inflation risk > health care risk > long term care risk > risk of declining faculties
24 RISK MANAGEMENT Risks for providers > mis-pricing risk > selection risk > systemic longevity risk > risk of limited investment market > mismatch risk > risk of guarantees > expense risk > tax and regulatory risk
25 RISK MANAGEMENT Other forms of risk-sharing > scope for development of different products > differing levels of mortality risk sharing > differing approaches to investment choice > and to controlling investment risk
