Pension funds and life insurance companies make critical business decisions about how much to reserve, which assets to hold and what price to charge to its customers based on historical analysis of its insured population. While pension funds and insurers have complex models to determine how to price and value risk, these models are fundamentally based on a view of future life expectancy of its population that often assumes the profile of their members life expectancy is no different from the average expectancies of a country’s population.
In reality, each pension fund has its own population with its own unique social, economic and individual characteristics. Without consideration for these features, pension funds run the risk of making the wrong decisions about which assets to invest in and ultimately might not have enough capital to cover members benefits.
