Abstract:
A computer implemented method and system are provided for implementing a longevity bond management system for managing hedging of longevity of beneficiaries. The method may include issuing, through a special purpose vehicle, using computer processing components, a longevity bond having returns following a longevity index defined for a reference population of a pre-selected cohort of beneficiaries. The method may additionally include receiving from investors a payment amount for investment in the longevity bond, investing the payment amount in a collateral pool held by a custodian, and receiving cash flows from the investment in the collateral pool. The method may further include entering into a swap to exchange the cash flows from the investment for an amount equal to the difference between an actual and best-estimate longevity index amount and calculating, using computer processing components, based on the longevity index, a periodic payment to the investors based on the longevity performance of the pre-selected cohort of beneficiaries, such that the periodic payment increases when longevity exceeds expectations and decreases when longevity falls short of expectations.
