- 5. What did we find out?
• Use of multi-asset and target date funds is rising
• Pure equity trackers, delivered a poorer risk/return balance
than higher charging funds
• De-risking periods lengthening
• Disconnect between the scheme perception of who makes
the default fund asset allocation decisions and does this in
practice
• New thinking different to the received wisdom
• Default funds that do not use a glide path put members at risk
• Comparing default funds, like-for-like has been a challenge

• Open DC scheme
• 11,300 active members, 6,400 deferreds
• Replaced default with two options:
• Lifecycle – lower levels of capital risk for those
approaching retirement and relying on annuity
• Lifecycle Plus – higher levels of risk in 15 years to
retirement. Aimed at members with DB savings who can
afford to take more risk

• Contract-based DC scheme with 93% take-up rate – previous DB
scheme had just 63%
• Only 27% of members in default due to joining process
“The joining process we put in place was designed to prevent members
going directly into the default. It sounds counter-intuitive, but we actually
made it slightly harder to join and made people make more decisions
when they did.”

- 26. Thomas Miller confronts volatility with DC default design
• Default fund originally split between passive UK equities
and passive global equities, with lifestyling in final eight
years
• After negative member feedback in Summer 2009,
switched to:
• 50% in two absolute return funds
• 25% in passive equity fund
• 25% in passive global equities fund
May 21, 2012 Copyright © DCisions Limited 2011, All Rights Reserved. Patent No. 7,844,527. 26
- 27. Thomas Miller confronts volatility with DC default design
Fund fees increased, which had to be communicated
“The reasons we did this were to reduce the chance of a bad event having
a big impact, and reduce the chance of different people getting very
different experiences depending on when they start and stop investing.
This should hopefully lead to more even outcomes across the
membership.”

- 35. Who should be responsible for asset allocation?
Schemes consider themselves largely responsible for asset
allocation with ‘support’ from advisers. Asset managers have a
different view.

- 36. A difference of opinion?
There is a mismatch between the solutions actually being
used and those recommended by asset managers.
May 21, 2012 Copyright © DCisions Limited 2011, All Rights Reserved. Patent No. 7,844,527. 36
- 37. Also a difference in fund structure

- 47. The inertia of participants
Underlying assumption in DC industry is that plan participants understand how to
invest their retirement savings
Reality is that most simply do not have time, knowledge or interest
And DC schemes often do not make it easy for participants to engage
Plan sponsors must bridge the gap between retirement vision and retirement readiness
May 21, 2012 Copyright © DCisions Limited 2011, All Rights Reserved. Patent No. 7,844,527. 47
- 48. Legislation
There are policies governments can and have implemented to encourage saving and saving
in the proper way. Some examples include:
– Tax incentives to contribute to specialized retirement vehicles
– Tax penalties for making early withdrawals from retirement vehicles
– Automatic Enrollment (NEST)
– Employer Protection (Safe Harbor)

Assumptions: Income replacement results reflect the experience of participants earning between $14,500 and $10 million annually who were contributing to their retirement plan as of December 31, 2011. Retirement age is 65. If over
62, retirement age would be current age plus three years. Based on information provided for annual salary, state of residence, hire date, date of birth and gender. If not provided, gender defaults to female. Tax filing status defaults to
single if state of residency is the same as tax filing state. Includes Social Security which is calculated based on normal Social Security retirement age, as per federal regulations. The assumed income growth rate is 5%. Income growth
rate represents the average increase in salary expected over time, which is the approximate historical rate of growth (including inflation) for a typical person's salary. The projection considers the IRS annual compensation
limit, indexed periodically. Contribution amount is based on current election in defined contribution plan. Annual retirement income estimate and initial risk category are calculated using the investments currently held in retirement
plan account. Balances from brokerage account(s) or loan(s) will not be included in forecast. Income replacement calculation includes balances from other plans that are turned on for Retirement Dream Machine.

• Different perspectives
• Form your own view
• It’s all about the default
• Asset allocation is critical
• Choose your team carefully and

• Think about your consumers

- 55. What does DCisions bring to the party?
• Calibration and context to the asset allocation decision. This brings the ability to
inform plan design through the analysis of the asset allocation and outcomes of
more than one million savers.
• Robust understanding of performance. Empirical data for both the risk and
return delivered to real consumers shows the true picture of DC outcomes.
• Measures of value not price. Paying more to have greater intervention and
flexibility may be money well spent: the analysis provides objective, robust and
measurable analysis of the ‘value vs. price’ debate.
