The Rationale for Retirement Behaviour Working Party will seek to better understand patterns amongst those retiring with regards to their pensions choices

Key objectives:

  • to analyse annuity patterns amongst those retiring from DC schemes: eg propensity to purchase flat rather than indexed pensions and single life rather than joint life 
  • to model impacts of choices: for example, to what extent is it correct that the remaining dependant (normally a widow) will have her own adequate pension
  • to study all the variables that would lead it to be a rationale decision not to buy an index linked pension?
  • to illustrate effect out choices on outcomes, eg taking into account new state pension having no inherited rights
  • consider results in the context of what is 'a good member outcome'

Outputs:

  • Report on final findings to the 2015 Pensions Conference
  • Develop a model to be open sourced
