Business School find new solutions to three of the most challenging current problems in pension research. This paper is part of the Actuarial Research Centre (ARC) programme ‘Minimising longevity and investment risk while optimising future pension plans’. The research team proposes to have solved the three challenges, albeit in a first version. The challenges were: a) To make the product so easy to understand that the pensioner can self-select the financial risk and design the
financial investment strategy within minutes b) Automatic and easy-to-understand mortality risk-sharing between customers c) Automatic and easy-to-understand investment guarantee risk-sharing between customers, so that they do not have to pay for their investment guarantee and such that the pension company does not need to issue one.
