What if Mortality Stops Improving? Introducing a Product Idea that Shares the Risks and Benefits of Changes in Mortality Rates
What if Mortality Stops Improving? Introducing a Product Idea that Shares the Risks and Benefits of Changes in Mortality Rates Future mortality improvement has been a common assumption in life ...Description: Future mortality improvement has been a common assumption in life insurance and annuity pricing and forecasting for many years. However, experience over the last decade suggests this might be an assumption that merits reconsideration in the United States. This article will take a closer look at factors that impact mortality improvement trends and discuss why insurers may want to reevaluate product designs to better manage the associated mortality risk. We then introduce a product idea with this in mind, where premiums are based on a life expectancy index and insurers share the risk (and opportunity) or mortality improvement with policyholders.
