2 Contents Am I my Brothers Keeper? (subtitle Should employees assume all of the risks of retirement?) Is there a difference between DB and DC plans? How much retirement income is needed? Retirement Risks Longevity Inflation Investment Other Employer Sponsored Plans Features Risk Assumption What Can Employers Do? By: Lane B. West, FSA, MAAA, EA Consulting Actuary Stanley, Hunt, DuPree & Rhine, Inc. (a subsidiary of BB&T) 2 2
3 There is no Difference between DB and DC plans Purpose of each is the same Target income is the same Benefits must be paid for the same length of time If investment income is deficient, contributions must increase The differences? DB, the employer assumes all of the risks DC, the employee assumes all of the risks DC, the employee typically pays most of the expenses DC, the investment return tends to be less due to a lack of professional management and to a lack of a longer term investment focus 3 3

7 Retirement Risks What are they? Who will assume them? Pre-Retirement Post-Retirement Inflation Inflation Investment General Disability Medical Death of Spouse Investment Absences from Work Longevity Employer plan changes Death of a Spouse Long Term Care Needs 7 7
8 Pre-retirement Risks Inflation Risk The decrease in purchasing power Final Average Pay plan addresses, Others do not Investment t Risk Wrong market, wrong choices, too aggressive, not aggressive enough, high concentration in one investment Absences from work Especially a problem for women Disability Disabled are unable to save enough to reach their retirement goals Most pensions are not indexed after disability LTD Insurance only provides pre-65 coverage Death of Spouse Risk should be covered by life insurance Employer Plan Changes Pension can be frozen/ not offered Matching contributions can be changed/eliminated 8 8
9 Post Employment/Retirement Risks Post Retirement Inflation Risk The decrease in purchasing power Increase in Medical Costs Fidelity Survey $215,000 needed by a couple to pay costs not covered by Medicare. Investment Risk Wrong market, wrong choices, too aggressive, not aggressive enough, high concentration in one investment Disability Higher medical costs Long term care more likely Length of Stay Personal Care Assistance Death Not a risk if enough retirement t assets are accumulated by retirement Choice of payout options will effect surviving spouse Social Security for 2 worker families decrease. Long Term Care For many, long term care insurance is the answer Long life expectancy due to medical advances can create additional expenses Longevity Outliving the retirement fund 9 9
10 Inflation and Real Returns Over the last 35 years, inflation has averaged 4.9% Over the same period, yields on 10 Year Treasuries have averaged 7.6%, Result is a real interest t rate of 2.7% 10 10
11 Inflation DB Plan (Typical) Will provide pre-retirement inflation protection through the use of final average earnings (or updates for $ per year plans) Will not provide post retirement inflation protection DC Plan (Typical) Will not provide pre- or post- retirement inflation protection Other than by returns in excess of the real return A typical retiree will need to provide his/her own post-retirement inflation protection through accumulation of additional retirement assets COLA is provided by earning a real return over inflation, and starting retirement with enough money. example: withdraw 4% of one s accumulated retirement wealth each year
12 Impact of Return and Inflation on Retirement Income Annual Return of 7.00% Annual Return / Inflation Annual Inflation of 3.50% Alternate: 5% return / 2.5% Age to which funds will last inflation 7.0%/3.5% 5.0%/2.5% Real Return of 3.5% and 2.5% respectively Withdrawal 8% Withdraw initial amount from age 65 and then increase it each year 6% by inflation 5% % Ω 105 3% Ω Ω Warning. Actual Return will not be the same each year and thus the variability in investment returns is a risk factor
13 Investment Risk Employees have a definitive time horizon. Retirees generally do not have sufficient time to make up for asset losses. Investment earnings do fluctuate. While a given asset strategy has an expected rate of return, there is no guarantee. Following illustrates the probability of running out of money

27 Features of Retirement Plans Which in Less Costly? Defined benefit plans provide the lowest cost per $1 of retirement income. This is because plan funds are targeted toward retirement and distributions upon termination of employment are minimized. Which h is More Portable? With shorter vesting schedules, the pension promise is more portable. The biggest problem is employees simply do not understand the value of a pension promise
28 Alternate Retirement Plans TARGET BENEFIT PLANS Defined contribution plan where annual contribution is determined on a defined benefit basis. Intended to produce a benefit approximately equal to a pension benefit. Employees assume investment risk. Does not allow employee before tax contributions within the plan. Avoids actuarial expenses. FLOOR OFFSET PENSION PLANS The benefit under a defined benefit plan is reduced by the annuity provided under a defined contribution plan (excluding employee contributions). It can be said each employee gets the greater of the defined benefit or the defined contribution benefit. It is a good plan to transition from one plan type to the other
29 Alternate Retirement Plans CASH BALANCE PENSION PLANS A defined benefit plan where the benefits are expressed as account balances. Employees assume same risks as under a defined contribution plan except for the investment risk which under this plan is guaranteed by the employer. Like a defined contribution plan, its benefits are earned over a career (as opposed to being based on the last few years of earnings). Employer makes entire contribution, thus providing all employees with deferred income. Makes a good basic pension plan where employer wishes to control costs and to shift the inflation risk to the employee. Unlike a defined contribution plan, allows an employer to grandfather certain existing employees. ees Like defined benefit plans, past service credits can be granted, pension plans can be merged, early retirement windows can be created and employer enjoys funding flexibility. 20% of Fortune 500 have adopted these plans. LIFE CYCLE PENSION PLANS A defined benefit plan where the benefit is expressed as a lump sum. For example, a participant earns 1/10 th of his final average salary for each year of service. Under this example, the employee receives a lump sum of: 1 x salary at 10 years or 2 x salary at 20 years, etc. This type of plan, while simple, can be quite expensive
30 Alternate Retirement Plans Retirement Shares A defined benefit plan where the benefit is expressed as an annuity. Participant earns a retirement unit each year (example an annuity of 1% of pay). The employee (or employer) chooses from two or three investment mixes. At the end of the next year, the rate of return on that mix is determined and compared to the target rate (say the target rate is 4% and the actual return is 7%, then the prior annuity benefit is increased by 3% (7% - 4%)). This continues even after retirement. Generally, early retirement is not subsidized. Employer cost is more stable under this type of plan design because the employee is taking most of the investment risk. Employees can also receive cost of living increases under this plan. Example: 1% of pay might be $ per year(or $45.00 per month). If the share value is then $13.50, the employee receives shares. At retirement, the shares are converted to a benefit (but never less than the $540.00). If the share value was then $18.00, the initial pension would be $ per year. Each year, the number of shares would be multiplied by the share value to determine that year s pension
31 What Should Employees Do? Save sooner and save more Have a retirement plan / strategy Manage your debt Pay back 401(k) loans, especially at termination of employment Be realistic about the age of retirement Stay current with job skills Let the professionals manage your retirement nest egg Don t be too conservative, even after retirement 31 31
32 What Should Human Resources Do? Save sooner and save more Provide lots of education Provide auto enrollment / auto increase Consider making 401(k) loans hard to get Be realistic about the age of retirement Include a review of job skills in annual reviews Help to manage employee expectations Let the professionals manage your retirement nest egg Provide lots of education 32 32
33 What Can Employers Do? When making plan changes, carefully consider the options Keep a DB plan, but make it more modest annuity / installment options in DC plans Allow transfer into DB plan from DC plan Remember - What employees want is not always in their best interest Balance financial and human resource objectives Shift some, but not all risks to the employees If DC only, contribute more than to DB since employee is assuming all risks Educate, educate, educate Retirement planning statements and online planners Supervisor training followed by employee training Investment advice Printed materials Websites Seminars Get involved in the debate 33 33
34 There is no Difference between DB and DC plans Purpose of each is the same Target income is the same Benefits must be paid for the same length of time If investment income is deficient, contributions must increase 34 34
