AI Summary of Article 60 Retirement planning and advice on out-payments
The Basic PEPP mandates that upon entering the decumulation phase, providers must deliver personal retirement planning services to PEPP savers. This guidance should be tailored, considering the accumulated capital within sub-accounts, additional retirement enititlements, and the long-term financial needs of the saver.
Furthermore, the planning process must offer personalised recommendations regarding optimal out-payment structures unless only one option exists. In situations where lump-sum payments may not align with the saver’s retirement objectives, it is imperative that the advice is accompanied by a clear warning regarding such misalignment.
Article 60 Retirement planning and advice on out-payments
1. For the Basic PEPP, at the start of the decumulation phase, the PEPP provider shall offer the PEPP saver personal retirement planning on the sustainable use of the capital accumulated in the PEPP sub-accounts, taking into account at least:
(a) the value of the capital accumulated in the PEPP sub-accounts;
(b) the total amount of other accrued retirement entitlements; and
(c) the long-term retirement-related demands and needs of the PEPP saver.
2. The retirement planning referred to in paragraph 1 shall include a personal recommendation to the PEPP saver on his or her optimal form of out-payments unless only one form of out-payments is provided. If a lump-sum payment is not in line with the retirement-related needs of the PEPP saver, the advice shall be accompanied by a warning to that end.
