Swiss Re has completed a GBP 800 million longevity insurance contract with the pension fund of UK insurer LV=. The transaction includes insurance of longevity exposures for 1,000 members who are still to retire.
Swiss Re’s latest longevity insurance agreement covers over 5,000 individuals who were members of the LV= Employee Pension Scheme as of 31 December 2011. The agreement covers a broader population than previous pension market longevity transactions, extending beyond in payment pensioners to also cover members not yet retired down to age 55.
