THE FUTURE ISN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE
![Page 3: Middle Atlantic Actuarial Club Strategies for the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815164550346895dbf8ff0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Lets talk retirement
• Social Security
• Employer retirement plans• DB
• DC
• Hybrid
• Personal savings
![Page 4: Middle Atlantic Actuarial Club Strategies for the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815164550346895dbf8ff0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Soc Sec is BIG
• 50 million people receive Soc Sec each month
• 1 in 6 Americans get a Soc Sec ben
• Nearly 1 in 4 households get income from Social Security

The long-range forecast(Best estimate)
• 2016 -- tax revenues forecast to be less than benefits due– Assets and interest will help pay benefits until
2037– Govt must pay Soc Sec bonds and find other
lenders
• 2037 – reserves projected to be depleted– Continuing tax income forecast to cover about
¾ of scheduled benefits5
![Page 6: Middle Atlantic Actuarial Club Strategies for the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815164550346895dbf8ff0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why is this happening?
• People are living longer?• We’re not earning enough on the trust
fund?• Illegal immigrants are draining the fund?
• The main reason –
People are having fewer babies
![Page 7: Middle Atlantic Actuarial Club Strategies for the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815164550346895dbf8ff0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

The DB Plan
• Defined Benefit Plan (DB)– Plan defines benefit at retirement– Usually paid as monthly pmts for life
• DB best for:– Providing specific income– Retirement security– Long careers– Cost efficiency
![Page 9: Middle Atlantic Actuarial Club Strategies for the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815164550346895dbf8ff0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
DB plans being terminated
• Plan depends on employer– Bears investment and longevity risks– Must stay in business
• Changes have created burdens– Increased regulation / funding requirements– Changing definition of liability– Increased accounting disclosure– Violent market fluctuations– Pursuit of returns increases risk
![Page 10: Middle Atlantic Actuarial Club Strategies for the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815164550346895dbf8ff0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The DC Plan• Defined Contribution Plan (DC)
– Plan defines contribution to Ee account– Account is invested– At retirement get account balance– Typically paid as a lump sum
• Best for – Encouraging personal savings– Building personal estate– Enjoying market gains– Portability
![Page 11: Middle Atlantic Actuarial Club Strategies for the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815164550346895dbf8ff0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DC plans have problems
• Depends on the employee to save
• Ee needs to invest intelligently
• Benefit subject to market fluctuations
• Does not provide lifetime income
• Inefficient
• Costly
![Page 12: Middle Atlantic Actuarial Club Strategies for the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815164550346895dbf8ff0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DC plans have problems• “Based on the notion that the average
American worker has the time, interest, and ability to fund and invest their way to a secure retirement in their spare time.
It’s akin to asking the average worker to become their own auto mechanic on the side, but with much larger potential social costs. “

Many rely on SS for most of their income
• 90% of people 65 and older get Soc Sec
• Nearly 2 in 3 (66%) get half or more of their income from Soc Sec
• About 1 in 5 (21%) get all their income from Soc Sec

What have we done about it?
![Page 16: Middle Atlantic Actuarial Club Strategies for the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815164550346895dbf8ff0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Retirement finances are shaky
• Soc Sec projected to run out of money
• DB Pensions being terminated
• DC plans shown to be flawed
• We aren’t saving for ourselves
![Page 17: Middle Atlantic Actuarial Club Strategies for the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815164550346895dbf8ff0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In addition
• We are living longerLife expectancy at 65
• In 1930 (Soc Sec began) 12.4 years
• In 2000 18.0 years
• Cost of medical care rising rapidly

Baby Boomers
“We have managed to take successful programs -- Social Security and Medicare -- and turn them into huge problems by our self-centered inattention. Baby boomers seem eager to "reinvent retirement'' in all ways except those that might threaten their pocketbooks.” Robert Samuelson

As we age our focus changes
• Concerns about retirement increase
• Emphasis shifts from wealth to security
• Increasing concern we will have to scale
back our lifestyle
The MetLife Survey of American Attitudes Toward Retirement

The current economy increases these changes
Question:
Will today’s problems have a lasting effect, or will they be forgotten when
things get better?

Current ideas being discussed
• Make 401(k) plans automatic (Obama platform)
• Make 401(k)s more user-friendly.
• Forget 401(k)s, create a Supp to Soc Sec
• More cash balance plans
• Retirement USA

Common Features
• Variations of DC plan
• Required participation
• Contributions from employer and govt
• More cost efficient administration
• Dampen volatility during accum phase
• Lifetime guarantees in retirement
![Page 52: Middle Atlantic Actuarial Club Strategies for the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815164550346895dbf8ff0/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Tension – Required Participation
• If people don’t participate, it won’t work for them.
• Mandating participation is politically sensitive.

Tensions – Guarantee v Control
“People now put a high priority on a guaranteed retirement income,
but surveys say they want to get it as long as they don’t give up anything — as in access to that money and power over it.”
Dallas Salisbury, EBRI
![Page 54: Middle Atlantic Actuarial Club Strategies for the Future](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815164550346895dbf8ff0/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Tensions – Who bears risks?
The employee
The employer
The government

Tensions – Return v Risk
How much risk should there
be?Should it depend on
whose risk it is?

Prediction – The sky will not fall
• Social Security will continue
• Some will save their DB plans
• DC will become the predominant Er plan
• People will continue to work – mainly because they want to.
