We consider longevity risk hedging problems, where survivor swaps are available as hedging instruments. As objective functions we consider the mean-variance and the mean-conditional-value-at-risk of the hedged liabilities, evaluated using an estimated probability law governing the mortality...

Forecasted mortality rates using mortality models proposed in the recent literature are sensitive to the sample size. In this paper we propose a method based on Bayesian learning to determine model-specific posterior distributions of the sample sizes. In particular, the sample size is included...

To mitigate the hedger's longevity risk exposure, this paper proposes a collective longevity swap between a reinsurer (hedge provider) and a group of hedgers (pension plans and annuity providers), and an economic framework to price longevity risk and longevity swaps. Combining the appealing...
