The different consumer segments with DC wealth

…created four stylised scenarios regarding
choices in the new world
1. Annuitise
2. Blow the pot
3. Put everything in a low interest savings
account
4. Keep the fund invested (income drawdown)

Modelled the impact of different choices on
retirees’ finances throughout retirement
Total income per annum in retirement based on:
– Their defined benefit entitlement.
– Their state pension entitlement.
– The stylised choices individuals make regarding
their DC wealth.
For simplicity we excluded additional pensioner benefits,
taxation and liquid savings from our income calculations.

What did we find?

In focus: the shape of retirement income implied
through savings account scenario

The shape of retirement income implied through
income drawdown

dedicated to addressing issues of longevity, ageing and population change.
Different consumers will need to take different approaches to their
retirement.
Those with high concentration of DC (some 850,000 people) most at
risk if they blow DC savings. For these individuals, annuitising at least
part of their DC wealth makes sense.
Those with DB savings are least at risk – even if they blow their DC
savings they can still fall back on their DB pots (450,000 people).
But there are many who will still have low incomes even if they
annuitise due to low levels of DC savings and no DB wealth (685,000
people). Care needed to avoid these individuals falling to scams and
some may need to work for longer to reduce projected shortfall.
Considerations for different consumer segments

Recommendations
New default strategy must include annuities for those
with high concentration of DC wealth.
Rebranding annuities as as guaranteed income for life.
Guidance must be available to people well in advance
of leaving the workforce and must be promoted through
multiple channels including employer.
Pension Commission needed to raise levels of long
term savings for future generations.
