    Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

    Pension funds, city investors and “big insurers” are acquiring leaseholds for their investment portfolio as they then massively can increase ground rent. So if you put your money into these, a pension, you’re funding huge exploitation for those who have ground rent/leases, and these outnumber freehold houses in the uk.

    The defined contribution idea is simple enough. But in explaining the defined benefit idea, Tim didn't explain how the employer will figure out how much to contribute in order to end up with (1/45 x 30yrs) of FINAL SALARY. How would the employer know how much the final salary could be?

    • @andygregory7527
      @andygregory7527 8 років тому

      +Shushanto Bose They have to have an Actuarial Valuation at least every 3 years. The Actuary works out the funding position, and tells the Company how much they should be paying in (Schedule of Contributions).

    • @shushanto

      +Andy Gregory Is this actuarial valuation based on a mathematical model of some kind? What does the phrase "funding position" mean?

    • @andygregory7527
      @andygregory7527 8 років тому +2

      +Shushanto Bose The Valuation is a very complicated calculation, that ultimately compares the assets of the scheme, (usually the cash it has, which is normally invested), against the liabilities of the scheme (the promised pensions it has to pay out). A funding position can then be established, ie under/fully/overfunded, normally given as a percentage. In the current climate, most schemes are underfunded, ie in deficit, hence employers are asked to pay more in.

    The way I see it - Pensions are technically your "salary" in old age. That is why you get taxed on it. Your contributions are not taxed and, if you self invest, the government add a percentage to it. In the UK - doing your own pension, supplements the State Pension you get from the contributions you pay in National Insurance.

    I am approaching 50 and I think it would be a waste for me to invest in a pension. First off although the job I just got hired for is very stable/union job. My goal is not to do this kind of work until I retire from the workforce. I can’t see myself being a CSR for the next 15 or 20 years. So I am guessing enrolling in a pension plan wouldn’t benefit me unless at the very least I wanted to work at this job for over a decade. Am I right?

    Why have they made it so you have to buy an annuity? Using your numbers of a man retiring at 60 and dying at 77, why should he buy an annuity paying 3k a year when he could use his pot and get 100k/17 = ~6k. Is it because of the inflation indexing?

    I'm trying to decide how much of a lump sum to take out of my USS pension.... all or none or something in between. Due to multiple illnesses I don't expect to reach 74 and although my wife gets half my pension if I die, she would have to live an impossibly long time to receive the equivalent of the max lump sum as a pension. Should I take the max lump sum so that she has something to bank now? (We can still afford to live on the reduced annual pension which that would give me and of course the rest of the pot would revert to USS in any case in due course....)

    So if you earn 30,000 and pay 3%, which is £900 a year, your employer matches that every year, and you work for 30 years, you will earn £54,000. But that needs to last about 17 years, maybe more. Which is £3176pa, or £216 a month. That isn't really enough to live on, even if you have a partner with a similar pension and you've paid off your mortgage.

      Even if the annuity was double that and you got £20k a year it wouldn't be so bad, over 20 years you get £400k+ depending on when you live until and the pension firm get maybe 20%. This scam is just that, you pay in, the pension firms keep the vast majority for ourselves.
