• Successful provision of longevity insurance to individuals• longevity uncertain, systematic improvements, risk

Risk Measures for Longevity
![Page 12: Longevity Risk Management for Life and Variable Annuities Ngai-Sherris.pdf · Longevity Risk Management for Life and Variable Annuities. Andrew Ngai and Michael Sherris.

Risk Measures for Longevity RiskIndexed annuities have
substantial shortfall risk -inflation
VA + GLWB provides limited longevity
protection – hedging has little impact

Results –Annuities (Life/Indexed)Hedging less
effective because of inflation indexation

Results – Deferred Annuities/GLWB
Limited longevity protection except in exceptionally
adverse markets

Results – Basis RiskBasis risk not a major
concern

matters –longevity risk

• Static hedging (ALM) strategies reduce longevity risk particularly for life annuities (immediate and deferred)
• Much less effective for inflation indexed annuities (inflation risk predominates)
• VA with GLWB provide limited longevity protection and longevity hedging is of little value
• q-Forwards have additional basis risk over longevity bonds (mortality rates vs survival probabilities)
• Basis risk (annuitant vs population, bucketing) not critical for hedge effectiveness
• Cost of hedging (price of longevity risk) is an important factor for hedge effectiveness (both derivatives and longevity bonds)
