What’s been said so far on retirement income?

David Murray quotes1

There is a "paucity of attractive financial products that help retirees manage their income and risks, particularly longevity risk

==> picture [670 x 114] intentionally omitted <==

"So we're curious why there's not an incentive for annuities , why the provision of annuities in the market isn't broader and whether that gives us signals about the state of that system"

Where is super going?

Cooper’s views on market in 10 years time

Market size

  • 1

  • • $4 trillion – double digit CAGR ensures this

Proportion of assets in retirement

  • ~40% (~30% today)

Lifetime sales leveraging book growth

Sales mix matters

  • Increase in new business tenor is benefiting book growth

  • Lifetime sales ~30% of total retail annuity sales in Q314

  • Book growth rises as mix of lifetime sales increases

  • Illustrative example – NewAnnuityCo:

  • Assume year 1 sales $2.5bn and 10% pa growth

  • 1

  • Scenario A – 0% lifetime sales mix

  • 2

  • Scenario B – 30% lifetime sales mix

  • Annuity book growth

    • ~17% larger year 10

Illustrative example – book growth for different sales mix

Approach

  • Asset allocation reflects

    1. annuity maturity profile

    2. relative value

  • Primary asset classes internally managed by highly regarded teams

    1. fixed income

    2. property

  • Infrastructure and equities provide

  • diversification, capital efficiency and longer duration cash flows

Relative value

  • Fixed income - continues to deliver 18% RoE

  • Property - risk premium contracted and good match for long term annuity sales success

  • Infrastructure and equity risk - premia attractive and plays a role in matching long term annuities
