According to different sources, including the FT, longevity increases in the UK have been about 2 per cent a year over the past 30 years, forming a large part of the UK’s private sector pension liabilities of £1,000 billion. While researching longevity risk I have also found that almost all the pensions custodians I spoke to said they have spent the better part of their time in 2010 battling risk and liabilities in their pension plans.

At the European De-Risking Longevity Forum 2010 you will:

 Find out how schemes can prepare to quantify their risks
 Learn which alternative de-risking strategies are available to your schemes
 Gain insight into the legal complexity that each bespoke deal is likely to bring
