2. Methodology
3. Results and Discussion
4. What should we do to have a „good“ pay-out phase
1a. What we know about designing pay-out phase in DC schemes
1. DC schemes are used as „additional“ source where the risks during the accumulation phase are shifted onto individuals (in order to „learn“ how to live under uncertainty)
2. Annuities should be bought as soon as one retires (Yaari, 1965)3. Milevsky (2001) has shown that immediate annuitisation might not be an
optimal strategy if not only longevity risk is considered („bequest motive is strong“)
4. Consumption during retirement is not linear, thus the hypothesis on consumption smoothing via byuing single life annuity does not hold (Di Giacinto and Vigna, 2012)
5. Annuities posses one risk – timing (Gerrard, Haberman and Vigna, 2004)6. „Non-annuity“ products posses different type of risk – „Risk of Ruin“
(Milevsky and Robinson, 2000; Young, 2004)7. Retirement „strategies“ should be developed
(Blake, Cairns and Dowd, 2003; Dus, Maurer and Mitchell, 2005)
1b. How we have designed pay-out phase in Slovak 1bis pillar
Immediate annuitization is the „only“ optionIf you don´t buy annuity, you can not retireShould we „sacrify“ first savers
„Are the annuities fair value-for-money?“
5% of savers can afford a lump-sumThere is no real PW„bequest motive“ underestimated35% pick-up rate for annuities
„Are we about to create a forced poverty?“
2a. Research questions and preconditionsAre there any other option that can be closer to
optimality for pay-out phase design?Should pay-out phase mix be developed?
Accumulation phase results after 10 yearsLongevity risk is predominantFirst annuities have an average 4,5% annuity rateBequest has non-zero utilityRisk-of-ruin is presentTrust in „rational“ behavior is low
Comparison of benefits and risk-of-ruin from annuities compared to PW

3e. Results – in favor of ANNUITY?
4. Discussion – What should we do to design a „good“ pay-out phase
1.Annuitization seems to be an optimal solution for the pay-out phase overall, but...
2. Immediate annuitization is far from being optimal on individual basis
3.Longevity risk prevails as force of mortality increases, but...
4.Bequest motive prevails during initial stages of retirementResults suggest that we can find a solution
closer to optimality introducing SRI PW
Thank you for your attention
