2 Learning objectives Common strategies determining how best to generate income at retirement Sustainable withdrawal rates and the key challenges associated: longevity, inflation and pound cost ravaging The practical application of investment strategies to generate income at retirement 2

3 Annuity rates are depressed Annuity rates 1 Source: /02/16. Annuity cost = 100,000. Based on 65 year old male, single life, no escalation or guarantees and no tax-free cash (PCLS) taken. 3

4 Radical changes to UK Pensions Flexible access to pensions from 55 TAX Death tax pre 75 abolished Pension income (drawdown) restrictions abolished Access to guidance A massive opportunity for advice 4

5 Centralised Retirement Proposition From CIP to CRP Drawdown was about 5% of adviser business in 2014 By 2024, drawdown could be 80% of adviser business* 97% use Centralised Investment Propositions (CIPs) as risk rated solutions for wealth accumulation** Risk rated CIPs will not be fit for purpose as a decumulation alternative to annuities says evalue *Source: Standard Life, June 25, 2015, published in Retirement Planner **Source: evalue survey of 4,500 advisers, published 14/05/15 5

6 Don t just chase the best performers. In Accumulation destination is key. In Decumulation journey is key. No withdrawals Simulated Example 50,000 per annum withdrawals Simulated Example 3,000, ,200, ,500, ,000, ,000, ,500, , , ,000, , , , FUND A FUND B - FUND A FUND B Fund B has a higher annual return (5.42% vs 5.11%) Over a 20 year period, this adds up to significant outperformance (168% vs 139%) It outperforms A in 11 of 20 years For illustrative purposes only When selling units for income, end result is counterintuitive Fund A outperforms this time Check volatility profile if selling units or use income for income 6

7 Selecting a sustainable withdrawal strategy Eating into capital but at what pace?

8 Sustainable Withdrawal Rates Methods for calculating systematic withdrawals vary Static versus market-sensitive % initial balance versus % current balance Indexing for inflation Experts disagree on what constitutes a safe or sustainable withdrawal rate 8

12 The Implications of Pound Cost Ravaging Beginning Balance: 100,000 Annual Distribution: 5,000 Average Annual Return: 7% Time Horizon: 30 Years 25% 20% Portfolio Value 15% YR. 20: 167,639 10% YR. 25: 204,357 YR. 30: 256,205 Return 5% 0% -5% Portfolio Value -10% YR. 20: 22,481-15% YR. 25: 5,014 YR. 30: 0-20% Years For illustrative purposes only 12

13 Strategies to help manage pound cost ravaging Low volatility strategies at the core To counter the prospect of pound cost ravaging, low volatility strategies can be used to help protect capital Potentially losing out on upside But capital protection and income/lifestyle maintained Aiming to deliver a positive return in all market conditions, although this is not guaranteed 13

14 Newton Real Return Fund Investment objective Performance aim A total return comprised of long-term capital growth and income by investing in a broad multi-asset portfolio The Fund aims to deliver a minimum return of cash (1 month GBP LIBOR) +4% per annum over 5 years before fees. In doing so, the Fund aims to achieve a positive return on a rolling three year basis. However, a positive return is not guaranteed and a capital loss may occur. Launch date 1 September 1993 An unconstrained active multi-asset strategy seeking lower volatility Emphasis on long term investing and with an aim of capital preservation Top tier, London based investment house with over 30 years of global fund management expertise Newton is renowned for its distinctive and proven global thematic investment approach, which is consistently applied across all strategies Dedicated global research analysts drive the Fund s investment policy Transparent, single portfolio of direct, liquid investments Maximum flexibility at the portfolio construction level; emphasis on traditional asset classes no asset allocation constraints 14

The fund has a performance reference of cash (1 month GBP LIBOR) +4% per annum over 5 years before fees. 2.

16 Selecting a Retirement Income Strategy Is there a different way to produce income without eating into capital?

17 Retirement Income Proposition Practical, easy to implement Distinct from growth strategy Opportunity to charge appropriate fee Need Income source Reason for inclusion Fun Factor Low volatility fund - unit encashment Multi-Asset income fund - natural income Growth (Capital Preservation) + Income top up Income and Growth Eat & Heat Guaranteed Income Product / Annuity State Pension Income certainty Income certainty 17

18 Strategies to offer both Income and Growth Potential Addressing Income needs and Legacy Planning Using Income for Income Draw the income generated from underlying investments - Leave capital intact to (hopefully) grow If natural yield insufficient, can withdraw capital but clearly inherent risks - Pound cost ravaging 18

19 The Benefits of Income-Yielding Assets vs Unit Encashment Markets Rise Income remains stable Markets Fall Income remains stable Year 1 Year 2: markets rise Year 1 Year 2: markets fall Share price No. of shares 100, ,000 Capital value 100, ,000 Dividend per share 5p 5p Yield 5% p.a. 4.2% p.a.

20 Newton Multi-Asset Income Fund Strategy type Objective Income reference Global multi-asset income To provide income with the potential for capital growth 60% equities 40% bonds 1 Wide range of assets can invest in: Cash Corporate bonds Derivatives Equities Government bonds Convertible bonds / preference shares Alternatives Aims to yield 30% more than reference yield Paid quarterly A fully flexible multi-asset strategy Emphasis on long term investing and focus on income Single portfolio aiming to source the best income producing opportunities across asset classes and the capital structure Note: 1 The 60% MSCI AC World, 40% hedged BoA ML global broad market index is used as a comparative index for this strategy. The strategy does not aim to replicate either the composition or the performance of the comparative index The power of perspective, income and flexibility 20
