Richard MacMinn, Editor of the Journal of Risk and Insurance, and David Blake, Director of the Pensions Institute at the Cass School of Business, London, are pleased to announce the 8th Bowles Symposium and Second International Longevity Risk and Capital Market Solutions Symposium on April 24th in Chicago.As populations in countries around the world age, governments, corporations and individuals face increasing risk. Pay-as-you-go state pensions and corporate pension plans are beginning to put severe financial pressures on governments and companies; IBM and Verizon are just two recent examples in the US of companies responding to the pressure, and British Airways and the Co-op provide two current UK examples. Mortality improvements especially at older ages make it ever more likely that individuals with inadequate pension arrangements will end their lives in poverty.Capital markets do provide governments, corporations and individuals with a means of transferring risks and resources across time, as well as spreading risks across individuals. Similarly, individuals can transfer money forward via security purchases to fund their retirement years. However, existing instruments do not allow agencies or corporations to effectively hedge the longevity risk that they face. These issues will be discussed at the 8th Bowles Symposium
and Second International Longevity Risk and Capital Market Solutions Symposium on April 24th in Chicago. Lord Turner of the UK Pension Commission will give the keynote address. Other highlights will include a presentation by Dave Dowrich of CSFB on the new CSFB longevity index. For the schedule of speakers, see <http://journalofriskandinsuranc
