RMS Unveils New Approach To Quantifying Longevity Risk

A ground-breaking medical-based approach to quantifying longevity risk that takes account of changing mortality phases was unveiled by Risk Management Solutions (RMS) today. The RMS® Longevity Risk Model examines expected future waves of mortality improvement that depend on changing social patterns, healthcare expenditure, and the development of new medical treatments, as well as historical phases of change. Exploring how transitions occur between the different phases provides companies with a better assessment of longevity risk than conventional models that use forward projections of past statistical trends.
