Employer duties Ready for change (?)
Robin Hames
Agenda
• Why are we here?
• What‘s changing?
• What is NEST?
• What‘s this got to do with investments?
Step back to 1999
A gloomy
forecast...
Pensions were in crisis
• Millions of employees not saving for retirement
• Thousands of employers not offering a pension scheme
• Pensions deemed to be:
• too complicated
• too expensive
The Stakeholder solution
• All employers had to offer
access to a stakeholder
pension scheme, unless
• they had fewer than 5 staff
• they already offered a
pension scheme
• A charging cap was applied
• A brighter future
Back to 2011
Oh dear...
Private sector pensions

Type of scheme Size of funds
Occupational DB £800bn
Occupational DC £400bn
Contract DC £200bn
£1.4trn
But...
86% of UK employers have no
scheme or a shell stakeholder
2 out of 3 UK employees are making
no provision for a pension

• 2 new core communication duties – but with
several subsets
• A new demand – money
• A new requirement – select your automatic

DC investment governance and the Regulator
The Investment Governance Group (IGG) published its ―Principles for investment
governance of work-based DC pension schemes‖ in late 2010.
―Pension schemes are long-term undertakings
and require robust and resilient governance
structures. Clarity of roles in decision-making is
central to delivering good outcomes for pension
scheme members and this will be even more
important with auto-enrolment.‖ IGG chair Bill Galvin
Pensions Act 2008 Chapter 30
17 Automatic enrolment schemes
(1) A pension scheme is an automatic enrolment scheme in relation to a
jobholder (J) if—
(a) it is a qualifying scheme in relation to J,
(b) it satisfies the conditions in subsection (2), and
(c) it satisfies any further conditions prescribed.
(2) The conditions mentioned in subsection (1)(b) are that—
(a) no provision of the scheme prevents the employer from making
arrangements prescribed by regulations under section 3(2), 5(2) or
7(4) for J to become an active member of the scheme;
(b) no provision of the scheme requires J to express a choice in
relation to any matter, or to provide any information, in order to
remain an active member.
Good DC governance
Stage I: Governance structure
• Principle 1: Clear Roles and Responsibilities
• Principle 2: Effective Decision Making
Stage II: Investment choices and monitoring
• Principle 3: Appropriate Investment Options
• Principle 4: Appropriate Default Strategy
• Principle 5: Effective Performance Assessment
Stage III: Communications
• Principle 6: Clear & Relevant Communications
So why are we here?
• Previous reforms failed
• Automatic enrolment is on its way
• DC will dominate
• Default funds will be mandatory
• Investment governance will come under
the microscope

The Right Default Making Better Decisions – Trustee/Employer
2 November 2011
Agenda
• Default fund governance framework
• Suitability and Objectives
• Improving ‗Lifestyle‘
Default Fund Governance Framework Investment Governance Group
• Ensure default strategy is
appropriate
• Allow appropriate time
• Define strategic objectives
(risk and return)
• Base strategy on robust and
detailed member data
• Competitive fees
Consider the needs of the broad
membership
• risk and return (net of fees/costs)
• its position in relation to all other
investment options
• members‘ expected term to
retirement
• members‘ attitude to risk
• the expected format and structure
of their retirement benefits
Default Fund Governance Framework
All qualifying schemes, for the purposes of automatic enrolment, must have a
default fund.
The guidance details specific obligations in relation to the governance, design,
review and communication of the default fund.
• Identify and delegate key decisions and functions in writing.
• Designed around the expected scheme membership and their needs.
• Produce high level objectives.
• Consider fund suitability along with affordability and risk management.
• Automatic communication to members covering the fund objective, risk profile
and charges.
• Full review every three years and on the occurrence of various significant
events.
DWP Guidance (May 2011)
Bluefin Views
• Generic member segmentation / risk analysis can be flawed. However actual
member behaviour should be monitored and factored into default fund
design.
• Glidepath design should reflect the likely desired outcome for the majority of
members.
• Diversification of assets add value in reducing risks.
• Passive management provides the most cost effective access to asset
classes.
• Dynamic asset allocation can add value in reducing risk.
• Matching assets should reflect the underlying income requirements / annuity
prices.
• Hedging / loss prevention relative to the final benefits should be implemented
where this is cost effective.
• Higher / lower risk strategies should be offered to complement the default
fund.
Long Term Objectives
• Required income determined by contributions
and investment returns at an appropriate level
of risk
• What range of outcomes is reasonable
• Ensure appropriate risk measure
• Return requirements – change from market
indices to ‗inflation plus X%‘
• Security of benefits vs. cost of security
• Getting the bond portfolio right
• Can forward interest and inflation swaps
provide better hedging?
• Capital protection strategies using
derivatives
• Introduction of other risks
(e.g. counterparty risk)

Improving Lifestyle Strategic glidepath design
• Reducing risk during the growth phase through diversification
• Introducing matching assets earlier
• Matching assets - considering the type of annuity to be purchased
• Low cost passive with active asset allocation to diversifiers
• More Regular rebalancing
• Use of investment platforms to allow effective switching between managers
Improving Lifestyle Lifestyle Challenges
• Administration complexity and operational risks
• Structure limitations – legal structures, platform requirements
• Communicating more complex designs
• Effecting changes
• No tactical glidepath shifts
• End point sensitive (late retirement, income drawdown)
Target Date Funds Improved Flexibility – Reduced Risks
• A series of funds with different target dates
• Age appropriate strategic and dynamic asset allocations
• Simple to change - low operational risks / costs
• Can include a more sophisticated strategy
• Not constrained by member administration
• Diversification of manager risk
• Easy to communicate
• Can include gradual de-risking running to retirement and beyond
• Can include fully open-architecture
