Securitization of Catastrophe Mortality Risks

Securitization with payments linked to explicit mortality events provides a new investment opportunity to investors and financial institutions.

As a step toward understanding these securities, we develop an asset pricing model for mortality-based securities in an incomplete market framework with jump processes. Our model nicely explains opposite market outcomes of two existing pure mortality securities.
