Plan Update

Andrew Strathdee

Age Discrimination

Following legislation in 2006, the Trustees have agreed:– To allow “late retirement” after the scheme normal retirement age of 60– New Tier for contributions for members under age 35– Under 35 Tier applies equally to members over 60

The Trustees are still awaiting formal agreement from the Company

State Retirement Ages

Still some uncertainty. Latest Position:

For men born before 6 December 1953, the current State Pension age is 65. For women, the current State Pension age is increasing from 60 to 65 from April 2010.

This affects women born on or after 6 April 1950.

Proposal to increase State Pension age to 66: The government has published new proposals for increasing the State Pension age to

66. Women’s State Pension age will increase more quickly to 65 between April 2016 and

November 2018. From December 2018 the State Pension age for both men and women will start to

increase to reach 66 in 2020. These proposals affect you if you are one of the following:

– a woman born on or between 6 April 1953 and 5 April 1960 – a man born on or between 6 December 1953 and 5 April 1960

These proposed changes are not yet law and still require the approval of Parliament.

State Retirement Ages

People not affected by these proposed changes

These proposals do not affect you, if you are one of the following: a woman born on or before 5 April 1953 a man born on or before 5 December 1953 a man or woman born on or after 6 April 1960

The current law already provides for the State Pension age to increase to: 67 between 2034 and 2036 68 between 2044 and 2046

However, the government is considering how the State Pension age should be changed in the future.  This may mean the timetable for increases to 67 and 68 will be revised. The government will bring forward proposals in due course. Any change to the timetable would require the approval of Parliament.

The New Funds Part of Trustee’s Role is to:

– Monitor investment arrangements, performance and prospects and review choices available– Implement changes after appropriate professional advice– Review new opportunities and developments

Trustee’s concerns– Concerned about disappointing past performance and about the suitability of the Fidelity

International Equity Fund as a long-term investment option for Plan members– Over the past few years, investment markets suffered as global economy went into recession. – Poor performance of many asset classes, in particular equities, has shown that investing Pension

Account in one single asset class can increase risk

The New Funds Trustees took advice and decided to:

– Replacing the Fidelity International Equity Fund with a new, actively managed, global equity fund• Design a new global equity fund (“Lotus Active Global Equity Fund”) that will invest in

actively managed equity funds, split between overseas and UK equities. – Introducing a new type of actively managed fund: the Schroder Diversified Growth Fund

• Spreading or “diversifying” Pension Account across different asset classes spreads investment risk

• Different asset classes have different characteristics; giving different performance depending on the economic climate, leading to smoother investment return for investors over most time periods.

Rita will talk more about these funds Later

Member Nominated Trustees

We will need to elect new Member Nominated Trustees (MNTs) next year– There are three MNTs for the Fund and six Company appointed.– The responsibilities of all Trustees are identical

• To ensure contributions are received from the Company and invested in line with members’ wishes;

• To keep records of members benefits and Pension Accounts;• To keep beneficiaries informed;• To appoint the Plan’s advisers;• To review the performance of the Plan’s investment managers and to appoint new

managers if necessary;• To act in the interests of the beneficiaries and ensure that benefits are paid in

accordance with the Plan Rules.

Member Nominated Trustees

You can be a Member Nominated Trustee if:– You are an active member of the Lotus Plan;– You understand the need for confidentiality;– You have an interest in pensions;– You are prepared to commit to the role for approximately 5 years.– You can attend approximately four meetings per year and undertake training as

required, including attending appropriate training courses and seminars, as well as taking the time to familiarise yourself with the Plan’s various documents

– Have the support of your manager– But NOT:

• undischarged bankrupts;• anyone either disqualified from being a director or convicted of an offence involving dishonesty

or deception• Not of sound mind!

Member Nominated Trustees

The Trustees will announce the nomination process early next year– Will require Nominees to produce a personal statement supporting their nomination, will check to

ensure they are eligible and get them to sign a declaration of eligibility– Publish a list of nominees to the members– Arrange selection panel of Trustees to identify the successful .nominee(s)– Announce the results

New MNTs will be formally appointed by Deed

MNTs who cease to be a member of the Plan for any reason, or to be an employee of IBM (UK) Limited will automatically be ineligible for continued Trusteeship

Thinking aboutRetirement

Richard Smith

Thinking about retirement

1. Income in Retirement - what do I need and get?

2. Outliving your money – How long will I need it for

3. Inflation – the ever present threat

4. Investment Risks on my retirement income

5. Health Risks – Paying for care as I get older

Today we will look at the first three

The three pillars of Retirement Income

State Pension

Company Pension Savings

Income in Retirement

What do I need?– Comparing gross Lotus pension with gross IBM Salary can be misleading

• You don’t pay National Insurance • You don’t pay Pension Contributions• Tax may reduce• Other deductions will cease• Many work related expenses are no longer payable (e.g. Professional memberships , work clothing etc)

– Some expenses will increase• Home heating• Leisure and outings• Home entertainment equipment

What do I spend it on?– Varies by stage of retirement - On top of living expenses,

• Early in retirement - travel and recreation • Later in retirement - health, care and heating

Longevity – will I run out of money?

Inflation Risk

At retirement, you will be able to choose between a fixed rate pension and one that increases in value

Whichever option you choose, it is likely that the real value will reduce over the course of your retirement

Fixed v Escalating Pension

Assume a fund of £250,000 for a male member retiring at 65

Flat pension = £15,400

Pension increasing at 3% = £10,600

These figures are based on current annuity rates and are subject to fluctuation. They assume a 50% spouse’s pension on death.

Inflation Risk

With inflation at 3%, an annual fixed pension of £15,425 will reduce in real terms to £8540 in 20 years.

You may have other sources of income, eg State Benefits, that are fully protected against inflation.

Your personal inflation rate

Official figures – whether RPI or CPI – are a “broad brush” – everyone has their own individual rate according to their own life style and circumstances
