27/7/2017 20:07	The size of pension investment required to generate £10k a year from gilts. You see the problem Cancun! Now take your problem to the Bank of England and ask for the interest rate to be increased. All pensioners and savers in the UK will fall at your feet if you can pull that one off	muffinhead	Read Full Thread Reply

26/7/2017 23:28	'I don't believe the company should be punished for low investment returns from investing in bonds.' - but the employees should, right? 'I thought ADVFN was supposed to be about investment. This is a weird thread!!' - are we discussing anything other than Royal Mail and its prospects? Royal Mail pension is in surplus, compare it to BT's £7bn deficit. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/05/27/bt-cap-pension-pots-fill-14bn-hole/ Royal Mail CEO has £200,000, roughly 20% paid into pension fund, latest offer is 11% to employees who have a scheme in surplus, never mind a massive defickt like BT. Don't bank on CWU getting no public sympathy? Brexit and Trump prove people are angry and ready to kick back.	cancun tango	Read Full Thread Reply
26/7/2017 21:41	Certainly is! Probably because it used to be in public ownership. Four years ago now though - how time flies.	oiht	Read Full Thread Reply
26/7/2017 20:25	Cancun... thanks for the links link you provided from 2016 hTtp://moderninvestor.com/news/graph-of-the-week-10-best-and-worst-funded-uk-corporate-pension-schemes/a967564 The problem is future accrual post March 2018. Return on investments historically have been good for Royal Mail as it has 87% of pension investments in bonds. Yields on current bonds are too low to match payouts post March 2018 hTtp://moderninvestor.com/news/graph-of-the-week-the-uk-company-pension-funds-with-biggest-bond-exposures/a953211 So basically the pension fund is run very conservatively trying to match future pension payouts to bond returns. It has been great for the trustees in past years because the bonds were bought at higher rates. However bonds expire or are rolled over at lower yields and new pension contributions keep rolling in. Going forwards, bond returns are too low to match the defined benefits promised when bond rates were 5%+. As any building society saver will know, current yields are a pathetic shadow of what could be achieved on the same capital 10 years ago before Gordon Brown and the Bank of England started quantitative easing. If the return on investment has collapsed, it follows that the payout on future pensions has to be trimmed. The pension trustees could take higher investment risk to try achieve better investment returns...for example equities, but then workers can take that risk through the defined contribution pension route where a few investment options are available to workers depending on risk tolerance. I don't believe the company should be punished for low investment returns from investing in bonds. If it takes industrial action for the company to get that message across, fine. But the CWU will not win and will get zero sympathy from the public. I thought ADVFN was supposed to be about investment. This is a weird thread!!	muffinhead	Read Full Thread Reply

26/7/2017 08:43	Interesting that rm offered to pay an Extra £50 m a year into the pension but the trustee said they didnt need to as it was un surplus.	encarter	Read Full Thread Reply

26/7/2017 07:51	Is it preferable to be the worst funded then? The yield is high because the share price is low.	oiht	Read Full Thread Reply

25/7/2017 20:44	put yourself in charge. object is to give workers the best deal you can and preserve jobs. At the same time you must reward the owners who have invested their money, shareholders, with a steady dividend and modest capital growth. You start with last years profit of £335m. How much extra do you think can be afforded on pensions and wages whilst still keeping the company competitive and healthy to preserve jobs?	careful	Read Full Thread Reply
