Mortality Data
The financial performance of a portfolio of insurance policies is primarily a function of mortality experience. We have accumulated tens of thousands of data points relevant to mortality and life expectancy. Our team studies and measures mortality experience within both the secondary life insurance market, and has developed tools that allow us to leverage our data and research for our client’s benefit. We have, for example, conducted extensive “actual to expected” studies that assist our clients in identifying the key drivers of performance for portfolios exactly correlated to their target assets.
Portfolio Strategy Testing & Development
Portfolio valuations and financial modeling must be based on premiums payments streams that have been optimized to match the investor’s preferences and risk tolerances. Typically, this means reverse engineering the lowest possible future payments consistent with a policy illustration. However, some investors prefer to pay secondary guarantee premiums; often with higher early duration charges, but lower lifetime charges. Maple Life Analytics works with its clients to assess and model all viable optimization strategies.
