What is first question you ask when doing a retirement plan for a client?
Existing Retirement Solutions
• Often inflexible

retirement
• Risks and uncertainties
What’s the result
• Excessively cautious investments
• Retire with too little retirement savings
• Pensioners outlive their capital

Exact Income Fund
The only portfolio that guarantees your income in retirement
For each investment in the Exact Income Fund (EIF) Liberty will
guarantee the level of income that it can buy in retirement.
For example:
Invest R100 000 today and Liberty will guarantee that it will provide
R3 000 per month in retirement.
No fees on this portfolio, but it pays 0.5% ongoing advice fee
Need for ongoing advice
Moving Targets

• Many things will change between now and retirement
• Salary

Ongoing advice fee on EIF
In the Exact Income Fund, client gets guaranteed income and certainty
• Ongoing advice fee should behave in the same way
Ongoing Advice Fee escalation rate applicable to all investments
• Once investment made, applies until retirement
• Can change for new investments as EPR’s change
e.g. Investment of R1m and the OAF escalation rate is 6%
OAF in year 1 is 0.5% of R1m = R5 000
In year 2 OAF is guaranteed to increase by 6% to R5 300
In year 3 OAF is guaranteed to increase by 6% to R5 618 etc.
Market value of EIF
• The EIF outcome at retirement is very low risk
• Targets an income in retirement
• This is known and guaranteed – doesn’t change
• Purpose is to keep until retirement
• The market value of this benefit does move daily and is volatile
• Investment value = Value of the annuity payments
• This moves with interest rates and longevity
Benefits before retirement
Restrictions:
What about death?
• Similar to Unit Trust based RA’s
• Market Value of investments
– No minimum death guarantee
What if my client wants to transfer?
• Benefit = Investment Value
• EIF – lose their guarantee, value may be volatile
