Longevity 14

Hosts: Netspar (Network for Studies on Pensions, Aging and Retirement) and the Pensions Institute (Cass Business School)

Call for Papers
The ageing population and increases in longevity have drawn attention to the management of longevity risk in pension funds, life insurers and health insurers. Governments face the challenge of financing an ageing population with longer life spans and providing an environment conducive to private market solutions. Reinsurers and financial market innovations such as securitization are critical components in the management of longevity risk. Leading international industry and academic representatives as well as policy makers will meet and discuss not only the assessment of longevity risk, but also the market and government developments and responses needed by pension funds and insurance companies to manage this risk. Key themes of Longevity 14 will be demographic risks and intergenerational risk sharing, sustainability of pension systems, practical applications of state of the art longevity research, mortality trends and forecasts, experience mortality and solidarity, global product trends, including the latest longevity index deals and the regulatory response.
Keynote speakers include: Peter Vlaar, APG, Professor James W. Vaupel, Founding Director of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Rostock; Amy Kessler, Prudential Financial; Guy Coughlan, USS; David Boettcher, RGA Re; Cord-Roland Rinke, Hannover Re; Jeff Mulholland, PwC; Anya Boutov, Beacon; and Avery Michaelson, Longitude Solutions.
