Important notes!
• We compared annuity rates offered to existing pension customers to the average of the top three rates available on the open market
• We used a single ‘health’ factor – smoking – to represent eligibility for enhanced annuities

….it is also important that they:
• Convert their pension to an annuity at the right time for them– (e.g. it may be more appropriate for them to use drawdown initially or to defer
taking an income)
• Buy the right ‘shape’ of annuity for them– (e.g. single life or joint life, level or escalating, enhanced or standard, and with or
without guarantee)
It’s not just ‘rate’

Provider Behaviour
…Overall standard annuities offered to existing pension customers were expected to be more profitable than annuities written in the open market.
Profitability may be higher for standard annuities when compared to enhanced annuities….

• Retirement Income market study – (including annuities and drawdown)
• Identify ways of improving consumer engagement to prompt shopping around
• look at market dynamics – (for example, patterns of market entry and exit) to understand what drives the
high levels of concentration observed in parts of these markets
• look at how these markets are likely to develop in the future– in response to changing retirement patterns and needs.
