German stock exchange Deutsche Börse and UK
actuarial consultancy Hyman’s Robertson’s

Club Vita unit have teamed up to launch a
monthly series of longevity indices.

The new indices track the survival patterns of
members of pension funds, plotting the differences compared with
the population at large and break down the experience for retirees
with different sizes of pensions.

It is hoped the new indexes will open up new
forms of de-risking for pension funds.
