working out pension annuity factors



Hi,

This is more of an actuarial question, as I need to figure out the
workings of the formula specified by the Financial Services Authority
to convert a pension fund into an annuity.

The formula is:

(1+E)*[än(12) + Dx+n /Dx * äx+n(12)]

where:

E = allowance for expenses of setting up the annuity (4%)

Dx = the mortality rate, based on age, so this can be worked out from
mortality tables PMA92 + PFA92.

I assume n = age of individual when annuity is purchased.

I also know that än(12) is the acturial notation for an annuity of 1
unit per year payable 12 times a year until death for somebody aged
'n'.

Also, it states that the mortality functions must be calculated at the
rate of interest:

J =(1 +I)/(1 +R)-1;

where i = interest rate & R = rate of escalation.


Say I have a lump sum of £100,000 to annuitise, how do I calculate the
part 'än(12)' and apply the formula.

I am not an actuary, and am finding this a tad confusing.

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks
SS.
