Dear Giampaolo

Life annuities provide protection against the risk of outliving the assets available at the time of retirement, because of a long lifetime or a poor investment performance. Therefore, purchasing a life annuity should constitute a logical individual choice, especially if no other pension resources are available. Market evidence however shows a low propensity to annuitise the assets. 

Some of the features of annuities can be perceived as disadvantages, and can hence weaken the propensity to immediately annuitise a significant share of the amount available at retirement. These disadvantages can be mitigated, at least to some extent, either by purchasing life insurance products in which other benefits are packaged, or adopting specific annuitisation strategies.

With the aim to provide you with a deeper understanding of the nature of life annuity products, we offer the seminar "Life Annuities - From Basic Products to Capital Management" on 16/17 April 2018 in Stockholm together with the Svenska Aktuarieföreningen. The event will focus on various product designs and related actuarial aspects, as well as on reserving, capital needs and risk management issues. The training has been developed by Professor Ermanno Pitacco, who will also be one of the main lecturers onsite.
