RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Turbulence Ahead for U.S. Plan Sponsors: Longevity Risk on the Horizon JF Special Issues FD Institutional Investor Journals SP 15 OP 20 VO 2013 IS 1 A1 Ari Jacobs A1 Matthew R. Maloney YR 2013 UL https://pm-research.com/content/2013/1/15.abstract AB This article examines the landscape of mortality assumptions in U.S. pension plans, both past and future, and includes an analysis of how ever-increasing life expectancy in the U.S. affects pension plans and their sponsors financially. We explore current opportunities for U.S. plan sponsors to insure the risk of future life expectancy improvements, contrasted against the U.K. market, where longevity-only transactions are more common.
