  • Publication number: 20140052665
    Abstract: A computer implemented method and system are provided for implementing a longevity bond management system for managing hedging of longevity of beneficiaries. The method may include issuing, through a special purpose vehicle, using computer processing components, a longevity bond having returns following a longevity index defined for a reference population of a pre-selected cohort of beneficiaries. The method may additionally include receiving from investors a payment amount for investment in the longevity bond, investing the payment amount in a collateral pool held by a custodian, and receiving cash flows from the investment in the collateral pool.

  • Patent number: 8311922
    Abstract: The invention comprises a system and method for hedging or mitigating mortality exposure risk in a portfolio of mortality-dependent instruments. A mortality risk or longevity risk of the portfolio is calculated or otherwise determined. Then the sensitivity of the portfolio to mortality risk or longevity risk is calculated or otherwise determined, in other words, how much is cost or value of the portfolio affected by a change in mortality rate. To account for that mortality exposure, a selection is made of building block mortality derivatives that include age-based mortality derivatives. The selected plurality of building block mortality derivatives are used to create a hedge against the mortality risk or longevity risk of the portfolio.
