The Life insurance market's response to ageing : mega or mini? / Gustavo Ferro

Sumario: This paper deals with the reaction of the life insurance industry to ageing and the next massive decomulation phase of pension funds worldwide. The industry has a well-established product, which is the annuity, a unique instrument to cope with longevity risk. But annuity markets remain thin. Demand-side and supply-side elements of the market are explored, and also regulatory issues. Some proposals are made for a more proactive involvement of the industry in the pension business, by adressing demand-side, supply-side and regulatory concerns
