This paper describes the basic characteristics of a reverse mortgage as well as the types of guarantees generally thought necessary for a tenure reverse mortgage to be marketable. These guarantees create five types of risk susceptible to actuarial evaluation. Each risk is identified, and methods of charging for and minimizing these risks are discussed. Special underwriting hazards and the need for asset reserving are reviewed. Examples of pricing and reserving for a reverse mortgage are provided. Careful supervision of reverse mortgage lending by use of actuarial methods is recommended. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1992, Vol. 44.
