By leveraging PFaroe’s on-demand liability and transaction price monitoring services, Athene seeks to help sponsors assess risk and purchase annuities at the optimal time.
Athene head of pension risk transfer Sean Brennan said: “We see real value in moving from monitoring liabilities and insurance prices on an ad hoc basis to a more frequent – even daily – basis.”
“Through PFaroe, plan sponsors will have up-to-date financial metrics and data, and a robust set of analysis at their fingertips, allowing them to evaluate the attractiveness of insurance pricing against those key financial metrics quickly and easily.”
Using the forecasting capabilities of PFaroe, the insurance plan sponsors can consider both the immediate and the long-term impact of market changes and strategic decisions on their insurance plan.
