1 HEDGING SYSTEMATIC MORTALITY RISK WITH MORTALITY DERIVATIVES Workshop on moraliy and longeviy, Hannover, April 20, 2012 Thomas Møller, Chief Analys, Acuarial Innovaion

2 OUTLINE Inroducion Moraliy risk managemen Valuaion Moraliy risk Unsysemaic risk Sysemaic risk Hedging moraliy risk Survivors swaps A modeling framework Illiquid asses Risk-minimizaion Inheren risk and survivor swaps page 2

3 RISK MANAGEMENT IN LIFE INSURANCE Curren siuaion: Marke based valuaion of asses and liabiliies Financial risks: Parly conrolled via invesmens, derivaives ec Moraliy and longeviy risk: An essenial non-hedged and non-hedgeable (?) risk for pension funds Solvency II: Capial requiremens derived from properies for acual producs, inheren risks and invesmens Capial requiremens and risk margins for life annuiies is o be calculaed using a 20 percen reducion in moraliy raes Moraliy derivaives could lead o lower capial requiremens! (e.g. survivor swaps, survivor bonds, oher consrucions) page 3

4 VALUATION AND MORTALITY RISK MANAGEMENT Key issues Expeced fuure moraliy developmen (rend, volailiy) Level of risk premium Naural buyers and sellers of moraliy risk Illusraion of imporance of rend for valuaion Survival probabiliy (iniial age 65) 1 0,8 0,6 0,4 0, Example wih old moraliy: Trend V E 25 p 65 0% % 1% % 2% % 3% % 4% % 0 1% 2% 3% 4% page 4

Yearly average improvemen raes depend on he period considered. Larges improvemen raes observed in he period Source: PFA Pension & Human moraliy daabase, page 5

6 APPROACH TO LONGEVITY MODELING IN DENMARK Danish FSA has inroduced a moraliy and longeviy benchmark Benchmark for curren moraliy esimaed from daa for insured individuals wih 5 years of daa Pension funds perform yearly saisical ess wheher hey derive from benchmark Benchmark for fuure rend esimaed from oal Danish populaion (20 years of daa) page 6

9 page 9 TWO TYPES OF MORTALITY RISK

10 TWO FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT TYPES OF MORTALITY RISK Sysemaic moraliy risk: Unexpeced changes in underlying moraliy inensiies and expeced life imes: Same effec on all individuals NOT diversifiable Long-erm risk Risk managemen soluions: new producs, moraliy derivaives Unsysemaic moraliy risk: Randomness of deahs given underlying inensiies: Law of large numbers (Jakob Bernoulli, ) Risk is diversifiable Shor and long erm risk Ineracion is no rivial! page 10

14 SURVIVOR SWAPS Fix a porfolio of (insured) lives: Pension fund receives difference, if > 0 Expeced number of survivors (fixed leg) Acual number of survivors (variable leg) Pension fund pays difference, if < 0 Possible expiry T Time (years) Expeced number may include a risk premium page 14

15 SURVIVOR SWAP UNDERLYING PORTFOLIO Possibiliies Own porfolio Oher small porfolio Large reference populaion Choice of underlying porfolio: Survivor swap linked o own porfolio may provide perfec hedge bu may be less liquid (no marke) Using a small porfolio on oher lives will ypically no provide a good hedge. Unsysemaic risk will dominae (invesmen insrumen) Large reference populaion gives desired properies if sufficienly long ime horizon (more liquid, possible marke?) page 15
