A new era has dawned
Most wealth and retirement plans have the same problem: the longer you might live, the less you can risk spending today.
Don’t let your pension run out of money
“we’re likely to see a lot of people running out of money in later life.“
Even Rich Retirees Fear Outliving Their Money
“Retirees worry they will live too long to enjoy their money.
Americans are more scared of going broke in retirement than death
“64% of respondents across generations said they are more stressed about running out of funds in their golden years than the prospect of death“
Meet the rich retired boomers who are now ultra-frugal because they are scared of going broke
“Even boomers who have retired with at least six figures in savings are feeling the pinch.“
For decades, the financial industry had focused on one question:
How do we help people accumulate more wealth?
More savings. More contributions. More growth. More returns.
Then academics started to ask a different question:
How do we help people get more retirement from the wealth they already have?
Death pools can bring financial security for the long-lived
“Academics, as well as some asset managers and actuaries, think that an adapted form of tontine might be just the product to provide insurance against the risk of outliving one’s savings.“
Tontines: not such a murderous idea
“They are not so different to annuities, except a saver rather than an insurer benefits from residual capital. Time to give tontines a reboot.“
Executive Order 13440
“Every American preparing for retirement should have access to lifetime income investment strategies including longevity risk-sharing pools.“
Retirement Tontines: Using a classical finance mechanism as an alternative source of retirement income
“Tontine-style products could play a significantly broader role in financing the retirement of U.S. households. Such products could provide higher returns than annuities do“
The advantage of the tontines is about sharing the mortality risks
“We are going to see (National Tontines) soon“
Results suggest that a model that operates on a Tontine principle offers several key benefits over a CDC design.
“This suggests that Collective Drawdown offers two attractive advantages over CDC: protection against poor economic performance, and a higher retirement income overall.“
Why Tontines Should Be a Piece of the Retirement Solution
“Old-fashioned tontines are a modern option to cut fees and manage retirement money.“
What is a Tontine?
By sharing longevity riskLongevity risk is the risk that you live so long that your savings run out. Research shows that between 60-70% of savers at, or near, retirement fear running out of money in old age more than dying., tontines turn wealth into lifetime income more efficiently.
Members receive monthly distributions for as long as they remain alive. When a member passes away, their remaining assets remain within the tontine and are redistributed among surviving members.
The result is not better investment performance, but better wealth utilisation.
By sharing longevity risk, tontines enable every member to enjoy a higher standard of living throughout their lifetimes than would be possible if each one had to make their own plan for living a very long life.

Pool Longevity Risk
The Trust is joined to a Tontine Class of members of the same sex and similar age.
As members pass away, leftover assets are shared among the surviving members of the Class.
These asset transfers, together with any asset performance, help power the lifetime payouts.

Use the 'Tontinator' to illustrate potential income
Estimates are based upon mortality rates and asset values which change regularly
The Tontinator is part of the patented Tontine administration platform. Many new features are still in testing and will be deployed soon.
Illustrations are based upon reasonably expected asset values and average life expectancies which change over time.
Therefore the illustrations and the actual distributions received will vary in response to realised changes in the value of the assets and the realised mortality of members of the Tontine Class to which you are assigned.
Annuity rates, where shown, are estimated based upon currently advertised rates from sources which we believe to be reliable.
The Tontinator is for illustrative purposes only and there is no guarantee that these results will be achieved by any of the members.
Prospective members should consider their personal circumstances and risk tolerances before establishing a Tontine Trust. Consult an advisor where appropriate.
