This working party will investigate long terms guarantees on pensions, savings, protection and annuity products.

Key objectives:        

The two key questions to be answered are:

  • Do long term insurance guarantees have a future in the UK?
  • What could be done to make them more affordable and attractive?

Additional areas we also plan to investigate are:

  • Can these products be simplified to ensure that the customer understands the features/risks?
  • Is there consumer confidence / a market for these products following Equitable Life and mis-selling of endowment mortgages?
  • How viable are these products in a low interest environment?
  • What new products and features could be developed to meet any need?
  • Are there any limitations imposed by current capital requirements that would require to be overcome?
