Risk and loss
Key FSA findings
“Although most advisers and investment managers consider a customer’s attitude to risk […] many fail to take appropriate account of their capacity for loss.”
“By ‘capacity for loss’ [the FSA is] refer[ring] to the customer’s ability to absorb falls in the value of their investment. If any loss of capital would have a material detriment on their standard of living, this should be taken into account when assessing the risk that they are able to take.”
FSA Finalised Guidance: Assessing Suitability – March 2011
VITALITY.CO.UK/LIFE
Understanding loss and the consequences
Key risks for firms to consider
In the FCA’s view, poor outcomes can occur if firms fail to assess a customer’s capability for loss. The FCA states that although most firms consider a customer’s risk preferences or appetite for loss, they often do not consider their capacity for loss…
An example of good practice cited by the FCA was a firm that used “one process to assess the customer’s attitude to risk and a separate process to assess their capacity for loss…”

By tracking your vehicle’s movement through GPS systems, insurance providers can assess your driving ability. The following may be taken in to consideration:
•Your location
•How long you’ve been driving for
•How rapid or measured your acceleration is
•How harsh or smooth your breaking is
•Your cornering
All you need to do is have a telematics “black box” installed into your car

What does the challenge look like? IHT fundamentals: summary
• Payable on death (for most)
• Lifetime transfers can be taxable though
• 7 year “culmination”
• Exemptions
• Reliefs
• The “nil rate band”
VITALITY.CO.UK/LIFE
IHT planning: the golden rules
• The less you own on death the less IHT you pay
• So, lifetime planning can be effective – especially if you use the exemptions/reliefs
• BUT
• Many need to “look after themselves first”
• AND
• To be effective (generally speaking) you should not benefit from your gift
• SO
• At least use the nil rate band
VITALITY.CO.UK/LIFE
The main impediments to (effectively) giving
• The (would be) donor’s need for access to what is being given
• Gift with reservation (GWR)
• Pre-owned asset tax (POAT)

Case study
Your client Paul and his wife Jane are in their early 40’s. They are planning for their retirement in 20 years time and have £250,000 to invest in UK equities and corporate bonds. They do not take out any protection.
Paul and Jane are expecting their investment to grow by 5% a year to £650,000 when they retire, providing them with an income of £30,000* a year to live off.
8 years later, unfortunately Paul has a stroke. Assuming growth of 5% per annum, their original investment has grown to over £350,000. Your client is left with no option but to drawdown on their capital to replace the first year income of £70,000 and £30,000 to cover private medical treatment.
Your client has had to use £100,000 of their investment portfolio.
The value of your client’s investment portfolio is now worth £250,000. Value to you (assuming 0.5% fees p.a.) is now £1,250 in year 9 instead of £1,750, almost 30% lower.
When Paul and Jane are due to retire in another 12 years, their investment is now only worth £430,000. Unfortunately this means Paul and Jane have to carry on working past their planned retirement age as their investments only provide £21,500 a year to live off.

What happens to your client – with and without protection

Case study
The outcome would have been different if Paul and Jane had underpinned their investment with £500,000 of WoL and SIC cover.
When Paul has a stroke, he would have received a 50% payout of £250,000.
Not only can Paul and Jane put £100,000 aside for income replacement and private medical treatment, the remaining £150,000 can be invested back into their portfolio.
The value of your client’s investment portfolio is now worth £500,000. Value to you (assuming 0.5% fees p.a.) is now £2,500 in year 9, that’s a 100% increase compared to no protection.
When Paul and Jane retire in another 12 years, their investment is now worth just over £850,000. Meaning that Paul and Jane can enjoy an income of £42,500 which could mean extra luxury holidays every year of their retirement, or even retiring early.
