Abstract

In this paper we investigate rules for assessing the capital required by a life annuity portfolio to meet mortality risks, longevity risk in particular. Risks other than mortality are disregarded. Rules which could be adopted in internal models are discussed. Then a comparison is provided with the requirement emerging from Solvency 2.

Keywords: target capital, internal models, regulatory requirements, longevity risk, capital allocation

JEL Classification: G22
