The paper provides natural hedging strategies for life insurance and annu- ities businesses written on a single or on different generations, in the presence of both longevity and interest-rate risks. We obtain closed-form sulutions for Delta and Gamma hedges against cohort-based longevity risk. We exploit the correlation between the mortality intensities of different generations and hedge the longevity risk of one cohort with products on other cohorts. An application with UK data on survivorship and bond dynamics shows that hedging is effective, even when rebalancing is infrequent.

Abstract
The paper provides natural hedging strategies for life insurance and annu- ities businesses written on a single or on different generations, in the presence of both longevity and interest-rate risks. We obtain closed-form sulutions for Delta and Gamma hedges against cohort-based longevity risk. We exploit the correlation between the mortality intensities of different generations and hedge the longevity risk of one cohort with products on other cohorts. An application with UK data on survivorship and bond dynamics shows that hedging is effective, even when rebalancing is infrequent.File in questo prodotto:
