New Dutch Projection: Decrease in Excess Mortality Less Than Expected The latest projections from the Royal Dutch Actuarial Association reveal that the decline in excess mortality has been slower than anticipated. Excess mortality has become a vital indicator post-pandemic, and understanding the broader social, economic, and healthcare factors contributing to these patterns is essential for shaping future policies. RCLR was proud to contribute to this piece of work with Frank van Berkum serving as a member of the Commissie Sterfte Onderzoek (Mortality Research Committee), and Michel Vellekoop serving on the Advisory Board for the committee https://lnkd.in/gjRGQ2Zs #pensionsystems #PublicHealth #ExcessMortality #HealthPolicy #DataAnalysis #HealthcarePlanning #ExpertInsight #retirementplanning #pensions

It was wonderful to spend 2 days in Amsterdam at the #Longevity19 Conference and I am proud that EY was once again able to support the conference. The annual Longevity conference series brings together industry and academia to discuss all things Longevity risk management and hedging, and it was great to see many old friends from insurers, reinsurers and universities there. I used my plenary session to make the case for longevity hedging in a Defined Contribution (yes, DC) setting. I made the case for incorporating longevity hedging payoff structures within DC default funds. It strikes me, that as the DC industry moves from 'Cost Minimisation' to 'Value for Money' and 'Net-of-fees outcome maximisation' that we should be asking the question of how longevity risk payoffs can help during both the accumulation (pre-retirement) and decumulation (post-retirement) phase, beyond simply providing annuities. I also made the case for how longevity risk management could be used to protect against a downward longevity triggered spiral in a Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) world if/as we see this emerging in the UK. We talk a lot about longevity risk management for DB or on buy-out, but £ for £, the longevity risk is the same whether it is DB or DC, it's just for DC all the risk sits with the member. And with most pension provision provided for DC members through the default fund, and new decumulation product arriving, now may be the time to look again at longevity payoff structures in DC. After all, we have more pension building up in DC every year in the UK now than is transferring from DB to buy-out. (And, for the mathematics geeks amongst you (a group I include myself in) it was truly an honor to share a dinner table with all 3 of Messrs. Cairns, Blake and Dowd. A true moment!)

Thank you Ana Tripsa for your great post summarising some of the key points you took away from the first day of the #longevity19 conference we are hosting with the Pensions Institute and Bayes Business School

In 1825 Benjamin Gompertz published his paper “On the nature of the function expressive of the law of human mortality, and on a new mode of determining the value of life contingencies. In a letter to Francis Baily, Esq. F. R. S. &c” in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Gompertz model, the Research Centre for Longevity Risk and The IFID Centre - The Individual Finance & Insurance Decisions Centre will be hosting a conference in Amsterdam on 22-23 May 2025. We have a great lineup of keynote speakers including Moshe Arye Milevsky, Andrew Cairns, Leonid Gavrilov & Natalia Gavrilova, Adrian Tinniswood and Torsten Kleinow. We will be hearing about the impact and applications of the Gompertz model, about history, and, of course, about Mr Gompertz. Everything about the conference including a CALL FOR PAPERS from academia and industry can be found at https://lnkd.in/et6qkHj4. And, for those who are interested in the original, the paper can be found at https://lnkd.in/ez96sdbD. We are looking forward to welcoming you to Amsterdam.

Thank you Centre for Ageing Better for sharing your research and creating these infographics. They help visualise some of the many factors that influence our #longevity.

Why is life expectancy in Madrid 3.5 years higher than in Amsterdam? In a recent article by Sterre Marsman in Het Parool, Torsten Kleinow explained how income is one of the most important factors. Income is a determinant that impacts many other aspects of your life that impact how long you are likely to live, like the habits you may have, your job and where you might live. Other experts like Anton Kunst and Jeroen Spijker spoke about social and dietary factors that also have an influence.
