• At the age of 90, Jeanne signed a deal to sell her apartment to a man named Raffray, then aged 47, who agreed to pay a monthly sum until she died (reverse mortgage).

• Big mistake by Raffray. Jeane Calment refused to die and he had to make mortgage payments for 30 years. He never moved into the apartment.

• Raffray himself died in Dec 1995, leaving his widow to continue the

Is Retirement a 20th Century Concept?

As life expectancy continues to increase, so too does the demand for a funded retirement. A pension plan developed from youth and nurtured throughout middle age must support a lifestyle for up to 20 years beyond retirement

Implications of Generation Y

• Life expectancy in the UK exceeded 65 for the first time in 1946.

The Voice of Generation Y

• By 2005 those aged 65 in that year could expect to live a further 18.7 years.

• It was assumed that expenditure in retirement would be lower .

• Between 1971 and 2000, the average age of first births for married couples increased from 24 to nearly 30.

• Parents are still be receiving calls/texts

stepping away from providing a safety net for pensioners because it is just too expensive.

• According to the Office for National Statistics, there has been a sustained reduction in the percentage of active employees that are members of Defined Benefit (final salary) pension schemes from 34% in 1997 to 19% by 2005. Since 2003 the rate of decline has accelerated.

• For the next generations , ‘generation X’ and ‘generation Y’, however, the financial arithmetic of retirement has undergone a huge change in only a few years.

Pension pot required for a 65‐year old male to survive the rest of his life



• Longevity is a risk for both Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution plans. The only difference is that the party bearing the risk is not the scheme sponsor, but the pensioners themselves.

• However, the pension pot required to protect against the risk is almost the same.

• The conventional solution is to buy an annuity. But if we try to quantify the capital required within a tax free portfolio to allow an individual to retire at 65 with the equivalent to an index linked pension of £100,000 per annum, we get a large number.

• Assuming that an average male life expectancy follows PMA92 Medium Cohort and current market estimates of future inflation and interest rates, the amount of capital required is approximately £2million.

• The implications for investment policy are clear:

• Long term planning and a concerted effort to



save will be required in order to create a reserve capable of generating sufficient revenue to maintain living standards.

• Continued investment is needed for growth of capital and income for many years past retirement.

• With the increase in longevity, this means that risk should be reduced over a 20‐30 year period and not just at 65period and not just at 65.

• A new approach is needed with respect to asset allocation based around “Life Styling”.

“Falling markets have left some investments in defined contribution schemes worth less than the cash contributions made into them, PricewaterhouseCoopers says.”
