51 Longevity Risk Market Risk Inflation Risk Spending Risk - Investment volatility - Interest rate volatility - Sequence of returns - Gov t policies and tax - Purchasing power - Erosion of income - Health and LTC - Family - Divorce - Fraud/theft

52 2015 BPF (Before Pension Freedom) I want the best annuity rate I want to use a financially strong provider Interest rates rise? Could I have done better? Client Where the provider invests is not my problem Solvency II, it s not my problem If I live too long, it s not my problem

How do I know how long the client will live?

54 Reduce Annuity Products Retain Risk Transfer Safe Withdrawal Rates Avoid

55 What really matters? All decumulation strategies can actually be managed in a way which is either safe or risky The real differentiator is likely to be whether market risk is retained or transferred If retained, how are those risks managed by the individual? If transferred, how are those risks managed by the provider?
