Title: A buy-in too far / Ren Lin, Callum DuffyAuthor: Lin, Ren
Notes: Sumario: In recent years we have witnessed the rising popularity of bulk annuity buy-ins among UK defined benefit pension schemes that is, where the scheme purchases the bulk annuity as an investment but retains legal responsibility for paying the members' benefits. Buy-ins have many appealing characteristics: they hedge longevity risk; closely match cashflows for pensioners' liabilities; bear very low credit risk; and should be convertible into a buy-out with the same provider (which then takes on the legal responsibility for paying the members' benefits). Given all these benefits, it is not surprising that buy-ins are considered part of the toolkit when a scheme becomes better funded.Related records: En: The Actuary : the magazine of the Institute & Faculty of Actuaries. - London : Redactive Publishing, 2019-. - 01/02/2021 Número 1 - febrero 2021 , p. 34-35Materia / lugar / evento: Planes de pensiones Longevidad Flujos de caja Riesgo crediticio Otros autores: Duffy, Callum
