Stock market performance

Insurers are looking for opportunities to grow the longevity risk market in North America and Europe as they seek to emulate their success in de-risking UK pension scheme liabilities.

Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland are tipped as growth markets for longevity swap transactions, as pension schemes look for mechanisms to transfer longevity risk and the sophistication of risk modelling improves.
