IVA advice may be needed as pensioners face drop in income

- Friday, 12 February 2010

Pensioners may be seeking IVA advice following warnings that they could face a 30 per cent drop in their retirement income.

Those choosing to retire after 2012 are likely to face a "massive plunge" in pension income as a result of new European Union (EU) legislation, according to retirement income advice firm Annuity Direct.

The new legislation, Solvency 2, is designed to lower risk across pan-European insurance giants, and has been given the go-ahead by Brussels-based Eurocrats.

Yet Annuity Direct states this will have a significant impact on the retirement income of up to 500,000 pensioners.

Spokesperson Bob Bullivant said the typical income from a personal pension could drop from an average of £10,000 a year to around £7,000 as a result.

"From 2012 life companies will be obliged to value their annuity liabilities using government gilt rates, rather than the current preferred option of corporate bonds, which give a higher yield," he said.

"The result of this lower income to the life giants means they will have to hold more capital to meet their annuity pay-out liabilities – and the knock on impact is that annuity rates will fall."ADNFCR-2258-ID-19612187-ADNFCR
