6 Carleton University Retirement Plan A Hybrid Pension Plan Benefit Contributions Carleton Hybrid Defined Benefit (DB) Defined Cont. (DC) % x FAE x service x RF determined by actuary (every 3 yrs) Minimum Guarantee Pension (MGP) based on account balance % x salary EE &/or ER Money Purchase Pension (MPP) RF = Reduction Factor for Early Retirement FAE = Final Average Earnings Pension is maximum of MGP and MPP Pension Adjustments: 4 yr average rate of return 6% 6

7 Pension Estimate Definitions Earnings: Include stipends and acting assignments; does not include overtime, bonuses, special payments. Spouse if: married and living together common law 3 years or more must choose pension which continues at least 60% to spouse on death of pensioner, unless waived in writing by your spouse separation/divorce agreements? Protected/Not Protected: portion of pension that is protected or not protected from decreases after retirement due to adverse investment returns 7

8 Pension Estimate Calculate pension two ways Money Purchase Pension (MPP) Minimum Guarantee Pension (MGP) You receive the larger of the two Early Retirement Supplement (ERS) If a member was at least 45 years old on July 1, 2003 and will have 10 years continuous service at retirement Payable to earlier of 65 or death = $5, x (credited service to max. of 20) divided by 20 8

9 Pension Estimate Money Purchase Pension (MPP) Pension is based on accumulated balance of Money Purchase Account Converted to monthly pension using annuity based on recent mortality table and 6% interest assumption Money Purchase Account is invested in: 30% Canadian equities 35% Non-Canadian equities 25% Fixed Income (bonds) 5% High Yield Bonds 5% Infrastructure 9

10 Money Purchase Pension (MPP) Example RETIRE AT 65 (NORMAL RETIREMENT DATE) Date of Birth: July 1, 1949; Retire July 1, 2014 (65 years old) Balance at retirement: $600,000 Single Life Annuity with a five year guarantee (GAR mortality and 6%) = MPP (Life/5) = $600,000/11.36 = $52,817 per year RETIRE AT 55 Date of Birth: July 1, 1959; Retire July 1, 2014 (55 years old) Balance at retirement: $400,000 Single Life Annuity with a five year guarantee = MPP (Life/5) = $400,000/13.54 = $29,542 per year 10

11 Pension Estimate Minimum Guarantee Pension (MGP) MGP Formula = [(1.29%xFAE up to FAYMPE)+(2%xFAE above FAYMPE)] x CS x RF FAE: Final Average Earnings = Average of the five plan years of highest earnings FAYMPE: Final Average Yearly Maximum Pensionable Earnings = corresponding to five plan years of FAE (approximately $49,220 for July 1, 2014) CS: years of credited service to your Carleton pension plan Normal Retirement Date (NRD): July 1 st nearest age 65 RF: Reduction Factor for Early Retirement = - if born after 1957 or hired after June 30, 2012: actuarial equivalent factors ranging from 5% to 7% per year prior to your NRD - if born prior to 1958 and in plan prior to July 1, 2012: 3% per year prior to your NRD 11

12 NRD - Example RETIRE AT 65 (NORMAL RETIREMENT DATE) Final Average Earnings (FAE) = $100,000 Final Average YMPE (FAYMPE) = $49,220 Credited service (in pension plan) = 35 years Date of Retirement = July 1, 2014 MGP = 35x[(1.29% x 49220) + 2% x ( )] = 35 x = $57,769 per year RETIRE AT 55 (EARLY RETIREMENT DATE) Final Average Earnings (FAE) = $80,000 Final Average YMPE (FAYMPE) = $49,220 Credited service (in pension plan) = 25 years Date of Retirement = July 1, 2014 MGP = 25x[(1.29% x 49220) + 2% x ( )]x[1-.536] = 25 x x.464= $14,506 per year 12

21 Plan Amendments: Increase Member Contribution Rates Effective with the first pay in July % up to YMPE/ 2.4% above YMPE, capped at 2% of earnings Continue until the earlier of 10 years or special payments cease Contributions are to the Minimum Guarantee Fund Future excess surpluses will be shared between Members and the University If earnings = $40,000; increase = $57 per month If earnings = $70,000; increase = $109 per month If earning = $100,000; increase = $167 per month YMPE = Year s Maximum Pensionable Earnings ($52,500 in 2014) 21

22 Plan Amendments: Calculation of MGP Pensions at Early Retirement Effective for retirements after July 1, 2012 Who is affected? Members not eligible to retire on July 1, 2012 = Members born after 1957 or hired after June 30, Reduction factor for early retirement equals actuarial equivalent factors ranging from 5% to 7% per year prior to their NRD Members born prior to 1958 and in plan prior to July 1, 2012 get 3% per year prior to their NRD 22

23 Plan Amendments: Reduction factor applied to MGP Pensions at Early Retirement Age 3% Actuarial Equivalent Factors Factors (Approximate) 64 3% 7% 63 6% 14% 62 9% 21% 61 12% 26% 60 15% 32% 59 18% 36% 58 21% 41% 57 24% 45% 56 27% 49% 55 30% 52% 23

24 Plan Amendments: Administration Fee Charged to Deferred Members Effective July 1, 2011 Increase the administration fee for current and future deferred members, who are not of eligible retirement age at the date of termination, from 0.25% to 1.00% of the Money Purchase Component Account Balances 24

25 Pension Adjustments Each November, retroactive to July 1 Formula: four year average Fund return 6% 1 st three years after retirement: use a deemed rate of 6% for years prior to retirement in the four year average calculation Adjustments can produce a reduction as well as an increase in your pension. However, the portion of your pension that relates to pre-july 1, 2003 pension credits and contributions will not reduce (protected portion) 25

26 Pension Adjustments Example: The pension adjustment on July 1, 2015 for someone who retires July 1, Pension is $700 protected + $300 not protected = $1000 Formula = (4 year average return)-6% Year Return % (deemed) % (deemed) % (deemed) %(Example only) AVERAGE %-6.00 = % New Payable pension = $700 + $288 = $988 Basis for future adjustments = $672 + $288 = $960 26

27 Increasing Pension Benefits: Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs) Payroll deduction or lump sum deposit up to Revenue Canada limits Transfer of RRSP to AVC At retirement, can be added to pension, cashed or transferred to RRSP Once money in AVC: one-time transfer/refund of total balance prior to termination of employment or retirement No longer allowed to contribute to AVC afterwards 27

29 Buybacks Pre-1990 Service (while a contributor) Contribution deduction: limited to $3,500 less contributions to registered pension plan during the year in question Service On or After 1990 Will calculate a Past Service Pension Adjustment and will report it to the Canada Revenue Agency reduces RRSP room 29

Current members born after 1957, who have prior Carleton service eligible for buyback New members hired within the last 12 months who would like to transfer a prior employer pension to Carleton Past service pension will be actuarially reduced upon early retirement 30

31 Buyback Example Date of Appointment = Jan. 1, 1982 Date of joining pension plan = Jan. 1, 1984 Eligible months for buyback = 24 Maximum tax deduction = 2 x $3,500 = $7,000 Age = 52 and salary = $60,000 Annual MGP Annual MGP Pension at 65 Date of Months of Past Pension Salary Purchase Service Cost at 55 $60,000 July 1, $13,565 $768 $1,655 31
