Topics to be covered:

Annuitisation and retirement age in a changing world of work. Not only longevity and demographics at work…

Increases in state pension ages

What is the impact of the increase in the state pension age on work place pension plans?
How do work place pension plans, their sponsors, pension funds and insurance companies deal with it?

Compulsory annuitisation v lump sum pension payments

What drives the shift away from compulsory annuitisation?
What are the likely implications and the experience in other jurisdictions?

Draw down and annuitisation strategies: the duties of plan sponsors/plan trustees

Do plan sponsors/plan trustees have a positive duty to assist plan members to obtain the best annuity/draw-down for their accumulated DC savings in their retirement account or to provide adequate information/education to plan members on alternatives?
Do plan sponsors/plan trustees have a positive duty to negotiate and implement a default annuitisation strategy for its members?

Phased retirement

The normal retirement age of many corporate employers is relatively young (60 to 63) in some jurisdictions (with no or low state pensions). After retirement many embark on a second career. What they need is to be allowed to remain invested in the tax favoured system so they can retire more comfortably later - at the end of a second or third career.
To what extent do the various jurisdictions accommodate such a phased retirement?
