  • Longevity Insurance: Financial Product for the Ages by Andrew L
    Longevity Insurance: Financial Product for the Ages By Andrew L. Gespass There has been a lot of buzz lately about a new financial product dubbed "longevity insurance." In its current form, longevity insurance is a deep-deferred annuity with a forfeiture provision. A typical example might be as follows: Mr. Smith, age 60, pays Old Grand-Dad Insurance Co. a single premium of $50,000. In return, Old Grand-Dad promises to pay Mr. Smith $4,000 a month for life beginning at age 85. If Mr. Smith fails to make it to age 85, the investment is lost. If he makes it to 100, Old Grand-Dad will have paid Mr. Smith $720,000. That's the concept in its purest form. Variations include a refund-of-premium feature and an option for increasing annuity payments, both of which add to the initial cost. The continued popularity of contribution plans and IRAs has allowed many investors to accumulate more retirement assets. But the declining confidence in the Social Security system, as well as the dwindling presence of old-style pensions and defined-benefit retirement plans, leave soon-to-be retirees less certain about their financial future. This, along with the increasing probability of living into advanced old age-a woman age 65 has a 44 percent chance of surviving to age 90 and a 23 percent chance of surviving to age 95-creates some well-founded anxiety among those planning for retirement that they will outlive their assets. Longevity insurance not only eases this anxiety by providing guaranteed income, it can also provide additional benefits when used as part of a larger financial strategy.

    Medicare Nationwide is on your side White paper NATIONWIDE RETIREMENT INSTITUTE® Preparing clients for health care expenses Introduction Many people enter their later years unaware that health care costs in retirement can be burdensome.

    to lower one’s lifestyle below a reasonable or desired Oh, No! Not level. From an institutional point of view, such as a pension plan or insurance company, longevity risk can be viewed as the risk that benefit claims on annuity Another products exceed what has been reserved on account of underestimating life expectancy, thus leading to Government negative financial consequences.

Supporting a high percentage of Mark Shemtob the elder population reduces funds available for other societal needs or desires. Longevity risk at the individual level can be mitigated through the use of risk pooling.

If, bash government programs. Such sentiment continues however, pricing came down and the solutions more to thrive regardless of the fact that any attempt to heavily utilized an increase in the longevity risk borne curtail Medicare or Social Security is a career-limiting by institutions that guarantee these benefits (pension move for politicians.

INTRODUCTION Social Security provides a guaranteed lifetime benefit, but it is insufficient for most people to maintain their pre-retirement standard of living. Accordingly, most people need to supplement their Social Security benefits with other sources of income. While low-income retirees at age 62 often rely largely on Social Security, other retirees tend to have additional sources of retirement income. However, as people grow older, especially as they live past their life expectancies, they risk exhausting their non-Social Security sources of income. Individuals in their 80s and older who have low Social Security benefits face particular economic vulnerability. At that age, few of them are able to offset their low benefits by working.

Longevity Risk Management in Singapore’s National Pension System Abstract Although annuities are a theoretically appealing way to manage longevity risk, in the real world relatively few consumers purchase them at retirement. To counteract the possibility of retirees outliving their assets, Singapore's Central Provident Fund, a national defined contribution pension scheme, has ecentlyr mandated annuitization of workers’ retirement assets. More significantly, the government has entered the insurance market as a public-sector provider for such annuities. This article evaluates the money's worth of life annuities and discusses the impact of the government mandate and its role as an annuity provider on the insurance market.

  • A Simple Hedge for Longevity Risk and Reimbursement Risk Using Research-Backed Obligations

Stein∗ First Draft: November 25, 2014 Current Drafty: February 17, 2016 Abstract Longevity risk is the risk that the promised recipient of lifetime cashflows ends up living much longer than originally anticipated, thus causing a shortfall in funding. A related risk, reimbursement risk is the risk that providers of health insurance face when new and expensive drugs are introduced and the insurer must cover their costs. Longevity and reimbursement risks are particularly acute in domains in which scientific breakthroughs can increase the speed of new drug development. An emerging asset class, research-backed obligations or RBOs (cf., Fernandez et al., 2012), provides a natural mechanism for hedging these risks: RBO equity tranches gain value as new life- extending therapies are developed and do so in proportion to the number of successful therapies introduced. We use the stylized case of annuity underwriting to show how RBO equity could be used to hedge some forms longevity risk on a retirement portfolio.
