| | FTSE 100 ON TRACK TO WIPE OUT PENSIONS DEFICIT BY END OF 2004 |
 | | Based on estimates by Morgan Stanley that the pensions deficit of FTSE 100 companies was £ 65 billion at the end of 2002, Aon Consulting used this figure and the average asset allocation to project the assets and the liabilities of the FTSE 100 companies' pension fund assets and liabilities to the end of 2004. | | | Updating analysis released in October 2003 to take into the latest investment bank estimates, Aon Consulting research suggests that the overall pensions deficit for the FTSE 100 is forecast to fall from £65 billion in December 2003 to £40 billion in 2004. | | | Alternative scenarios that would also see the overall pensions deficit of the FTSE 100 wiped out include a rise in the FTSE 100 to 5600, or an increase in corporate bond yields to 6.3 percent and a rise in the FTSE 100 to 5000. |

| | Aon Consulting Forecasts end of FTSE 100 Pensions Deficit by end of 2004 |
| | The total pensions deficit across all FTSE 100 companies could be wiped out by the end of 2004, based on an analysis of investment bank equity and bond market forecasts by leading pensions advisers Aon Consulting. | | | According to Aon's analysis of consensus forecasts for equity and bond markets, the overall pensions deficit for the FTSE 100 fell from £65 billion* in December 2002 to £56 billion at the end of August 2003. | | | However, if this market rise is also combined with a increase of 0.5 per cent in long-range corporate bond yields by the end of 2004, the Aon predicts that the current overall pensions deficit for FTSE 100 companies should be almost completely wiped out by this time. |
