A Two-Population Mortality Model to Assess Longevity Basis Risk
Index-based hedging solutions are used to transfer the longevity risk to the capital markets. However, mismatches between the liability of the hedger and the hedging instrument cause longevity basis risk. Therefore, an appropriate two-population model to measure and assess the longevity basis risk is required. In this paper, we aim to construct a two-population mortality model to provide an effective hedge against the longevity basis risk. The reference population is modelled by using the Lee-Carter model with the renewal process and exponential jumps proposed by \"Ozen and \c{S}ahin (2020) and the dynamics of the book population are specified. The analysis based on the UK mortality data indicates that the proposed model for the reference population and the common age effect model for the book population provide a better fit compared to the other models considered in the paper. Different two-population models are used to investigate the impact of the sampling risk on the index-based hedge as well as to analyse the risk reduction regarding hedge effectiveness. The results show that the proposed model provides a significant risk reduction when mortality jumps and the sampling risk are taken into account.

Mortality/longevity Risk-Minimization with or without securitization
This paper addresses the risk-minimization problem, with and without mortality securitization, \`a la F\"ollmer-Sondermann for a large class of equity-linked mortality contracts when no model for the death time is specif…
Hedging longevity risk in defined contribution pension schemes
Pension schemes all over the world are under increasing pressure to efficiently hedge the longevity risk posed by ageing populations. In this work, we study an optimal investment problem for a defined contribution pensio…
Statistical Emulators for Pricing and Hedging Longevity Risk Products
We propose the use of statistical emulators for the purpose of valuing mortality-linked contracts in stochastic mortality models. Such models typically require (nested) evaluation of expected values of nonlinear function…
