Assessing future life expectancy and predicting long-term asset returns can be challenging.

RGA is equipped with both the technical expertise and financial security to manage risks for as long as policyholders survive. The evaluation and management of longevity risk, in particular, requires in-depth expertise. Rising life expectancy is a risk, which may:

Be more difficult to diversify than asset performance
Slowly and irreversibly erode future earnings
Transform the balance sheet amid medical advances and lifestyle changes

How Can Longevity Risk Transfer Help My Organization?

RGA has a long track record of crafting tailored solutions for partners’ unique needs.

New Business Support

RGA supports insurance carriers’ new business ambitions by enhancing their capacity to pursue more and/or bigger projects and diversify risk exposures. RGA, as a partner, offers pricing technology and risk management expertise. The solutions developed meet a combination of capital management, new business production, and risk transfer needs.

In-Force Management

Insurance portfolios with embedded longevity risk take decades to run off and can consume a significant proportion of an insurer’s risk and/or capital budget. Reinsurance solutions enable RGA’s partners to exit business lines, rebalance desired risk profiles, and recycle capacity into different or new ventures.

Pension Plan Longevity De-risking

While a buy-out and full termination may be the end goal of any pension plan’s exit strategy, there are several intermediate options available to plans that wish to take steps in their de-risking process. Longevity risk transfer is a popular choice to offload an otherwise non-Hedgeable risk, stabilize liability profiles, and simplify investment strategies. Unlike a plan termination, RGA’s longevity de-risking solutions do not require fully funded status.
