El producto en detalle

Not every defined benefit scheme is heading for a buy-out. Many will run for decades, and while they do somebody has to pay the pensioners on the right day, apply the right increase each April, produce the statutory disclosures, and answer the member who telephones to ask what happens to their spouse.

This is that service. Pensioner payroll runs monthly with an annual increase run; the increase basis is applied per benefit tranche, because a scheme that has been through several rule changes rarely increases everything the same way. Statutory disclosure and benefit statement production are handled on the scheme’s own timetable, and the actuarial liaison for triennial valuations is part of the job rather than an extra.

The member helpline is staffed in Ireland, by people who can see the scheme’s own rules. That is the part trustees notice: a member query answered correctly first time does not become a complaint, and a complaint is far more expensive than the call.

Cómo funciona

Qué ocurre, en orden

Desde la primera consulta hasta el momento en que la cobertura, el contrato o la línea queda en vigor.

  1. Transition from the incumbent administrator

    Data, rules, benefit specifications, payroll history and open cases, against a checklist agreed with the trustees.

  2. Monthly pensioner payroll

    Payments, deductions and reconciliation, with the bank file and the control totals reported each month.

  3. The annual increase run

    Applied per benefit tranche under the scheme’s own rules, with the calculation evidenced for the trustees before it is paid.

  4. Disclosure, statements and member queries

    Statutory disclosure on the scheme timetable, benefit statements, and a Dublin-based helpline that can see the rules.

  5. Quarterly trustee pack, and valuation support

    Membership movements, payroll totals, case turnaround and open items — plus the data extracts the scheme actuary needs at each triennial valuation.

Un ejemplo resuelto

Cálculos ilustrativos, para que la forma del producto se vea en lugar de describirse. Nada de lo que aquí figura es una oferta ni una proyección.

An annual increase run on a 900-member scheme

Why the increase run is a per-tranche calculation rather than one percentage. Illustrative figures.

Pensioners in payment
900
Annual pensioner payroll
£8,100,000
Tranche A — pre-1997, discretionaryNo guaranteed increase under the rules
0.0%
Tranche B — 1997 to 2005, capped at 5%
3.1%
Tranche C — post-2005, capped at 2.5%
2.5%
Weighted increase across the payroll
2.2%
Additional annual payroll cost
£178,200

Illustrative. A scheme that has been through several rule changes increases each tranche on its own basis, which is why a single headline percentage is almost always wrong and why the calculation is evidenced to the trustees before it is paid.

The payroll, split by increase basis

The illustrative £8.1m payroll above, divided into the tranches the increase run has to treat separately.

Annual pensioner payroll

£8,100,000

  • Post-2005, capped at 2.5%£2,835,000 · 35%Increased at 2.5% in this run
  • 1997 to 2005, capped at 5%£3,240,000 · 40%Increased at 3.1%
  • Pre-1997, discretionary£2,025,000 · 25%No guaranteed increase
Illustrative. One scheme, three rules, one payroll — the reason the annual run is a calculation per tranche and the reason it is evidenced before payment.

Preguntas

Lo que los corredores nos preguntan sobre este producto

Who answers member calls?

A Dublin-based team with access to the scheme’s own rules and records, not a general contact centre reading a script.

How long does a transition take?

It depends on the state of the incumbent’s data. The transition checklist sets out what we need, and the honest answer is that data quality decides the timetable.

Does the service include the actuarial valuation?

The liaison and the data extracts, yes. The valuation itself is the scheme actuary’s work.
