ISSUES IN THE PAYOUT PHASE Gary Hendricks Regional Pension Workshop Majuro, Republic of th Marshall Islands April 25-29, 2016
Issues in Payout Phase (DC):Payout Options • Lump sum distribution at retirement • Periodic payout for fixed term • Guaranteed life annuity
Payout Options: Lumpsums • Withdraw entire account balance upon retirement • De minimus accounts • Risk aversion • Invest in alternative form of retirement security • Withdraw part of balance • Reduce cost of living (debt reduction) • Moderate risk • Remaining balance available for other options • Disadvantages of withdrawals • May lose ability to smooth income over lifetime • Exposes worker and family to poverty in future
Payout Options: Payments over Fixed Term Option: Worker select to receive monthly payments over a fixed period (5,10, 20 years) after which funds will be exhausted. • Advantage: Higher monthly pension than under annuity • Disadvantage: May exhaust savings too soon
Payout Options: Life Annuities • Major advantage: Pension is guaranteed for life • Disadvantage: • Pension ceases when worker dies • Adequacy can be compromised if there are survivors • Adding survivors is expensive and reduces worker’s pension
Annuity Options • Single life annuity • Joint and survivor annuity • Fixed term annuity with guaranteed benefit thereafter
