The Annuity Reinsurance paper by John Caslin and Brian Cunningham is now available to read here.
Reinsuring a block of individual annuities in payment raises a wide range of issues for the insurance undertaking ceding the block of business (the “Cedant”), including satisfying the Solvency II risk transfer articles, governance issues, choosing the fixed income assets with which to pay the reinsurance premium, legal risk, credit risk management, including mitigation, collateral investment restrictions, and automated monitoring of the adequacy of collateral.
On Tuesday 7 December 2021, Brian Cunningham and John Caslin will present a paper entitled ‘Annuity Reinsurance’ which will cover the above issues from the perspective of the Cedant.
