Regis, Luca and Luciano, Elisa Risk-return appraisal of longevity swaps. In: Pension and Longevity Risk Transfer for Institutional Investors. Institutional Investor Journals, pp. 99-108. (2014)
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The authors show that the transfer of longevity risk through derivatives, such as longevity swaps, usually decreases the overall risk of a pension fund, while also decreasing expected returns, thus resulting in efficient outcomes. In some cases, however, this may increase the overall risk. Risk is measured by Value-at-Risk (VaR), taking into account the impact of both longevity and interest-rate shocks on assets and liabilities. After calibrating a hypothetical fund to the U.K. longevity and bond market, the authors show that when inefficiencies arise, they may be avoided with a partial transfer of longevity risk.
