Risk management intelligence for the global insurance and pensions industry

Life & Pensions is the only specialist magazine dedicated to risk and capital management for the global insurance and pensions industry.

Our mission is to become the number one information source for insurance and pensions risk management worldwide. We strive to meet insurance and pension provider demand for the knowledge and best practice needed to survive in the new risk-focused environment.

In recent years the global insurance and pensions industry has been tested by increasing liabilities, volatile investment returns and a harsh new environment of regulatory transparency. Life & Pensions serves as a guide to the new risk capital driven landscape, combining actuarial, insurance, investment and banking knowledge.

What makes this possible is the trust of our core community, the risk officers, senior actuaries, business managers, treasurers and trustees that are on the hook if the wrong risk and capital management decisions are made. Through Life & Pensions, the community can find out what its peers are actually doing via our news articles or our peer-reviewed technical papers. At the heart of what we do is the monthly magazine, respected for its editorial quality and design, to which we enhance with reader response surveys to produce rankings and special reports such as Solvency II and German and Italian language supplements.

We have developed a programme of conferences, rankings and an awards ceremony to recognise outstanding performance in our industry. Mindful of the value that our community expects, we have launched an online Present Value Calculator with more web-based services in the pipeline.

Life & Pensions’ also holds training courses throughout the year on numerous cutting-edge topics. Each course provides attendees with the most current information from expert key speakers within the marketplace. Case studies and practical examples are always included in each course to enable you to apply what you have learned upon return to work.

Editorial philosophy

Coverage at the heart of the insurance and pensions industry...

Life & Pensions is the only specialist magazine dedicated to risk and capital management for the global insurance and pensions industry.

In recent years the global insurance and pensions industry has been tested by increasing liabilities, volatile investment returns and a harsh new environment of regulatory transparency. Amid widespread scepticism about traditional solutions, at Life & Pensions we place a premium on the first-hand experiences of practitioners such as trustees or chief risk officers with direct responsibility for managing insurance or pension liabilities.

In the same way that Risk has helped the global banking and trading community, Life & Pensions serves as a guide to the new risk capital driven landscape, combining actuarial, insurance, investment and banking knowledge.
