AVAILABLE 6TH MARCH 2012
The third annual report whereby European pension plan trustees, corporate sponsors, advisors, brokers, regulators and third party groups come together to share their views on relieving liability risks, engaging in longevity hedging and buying out and other opportunities within the volatile market.
In the past 12 months there has been a reported increase in interest and activity in ‘Longevity hedging’ and ‘pension buyouts’ strategies. Pension schemes are increasingly looking at their de-risking strategies given the uncertainty of inflation rates, as well as added concerns that have been fuelled by the recent market volatility.
‘Longevity hedging’ and ‘pension buyouts’ have been in existence for the past 4 years however limited transactions have occurred in the UK due the sheer cost and complexity of carrying out such transactions. The third ‘Pension De-Risking: Longevity Hedging and Buying Out’ report will seek to address these key issues and more including:
- The dynamics of the present market place and how this will impact on the pension scheme’s de-risking decisions
- The risks involved in a longevity hedge / pension buy-out move

- Looking to the future: where is the market going?
- The anticipated effects of the recent market volatility on longevity swaps and buy-outs
- Do trustees have sufficient knowledge when entering into a longevity hedge or buy-out strategy?
- How can you effectively measure longevity basis risk?
