Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

This technical report sets out a practical implementation of the methodology developed in Phase 1 of this work for a number of real-life datasets, and shows how index-based longevity hedges might be used to provide a significant reduction in the exposure of insurers, reinsurers, banks, and pension schemes to longevity risk.

This report forms the key output of the second phase of this work, and has been commissioned and funded by the IFoA and the LLMA, and undertaken on our behalf by Macquarie University.
