Longevity expertise.

John Pollock, Chief executive, for our Risk businesses:

"We are recognised as an industry expert in the understanding and underwriting of risk business such as protection and annuity products and services. We are committed to continually develop this expertise to ensure we deliver the right set of products and services to our customers and business partners in the future.

To help in this aim we are focused on gaining a better understanding of the longevity risks associated with our business and are pleased to be associated with a number of external longevity science initiatives, as well as investing in our own in-house longevity team.

For example, we support an independent panel of leading authorities who are experts on longevity issues, the Longevity Science Advisory Panel.

We also helped the International Longevity Centre to develop a website to profile their findings and views on longevity associated issues and are a founder member of the Life & Longevity Markets Association, LLMA, whose objective is to enable the trading of longevity risks.

As a leading annuity provider we are dedicated to exploring the impact that a range of various scientific developments and lifestyle factors may have on an individual’s future life expectancy in the UK. This means we are able to offer more sophisticated, competitive pricing to all our customers."
