The CMI’s work is focused on five investigations
Four of these consider areas of base mortality and morbidity, analysing data supplied by UK life assurance companies and actuarial consultancies; these investigations cover:
- Annuitant mortality
- Assurances (critical illness and mortality)
- Income protection, and
- Self-administered pension scheme (SAPS) mortality.
Each investigation analyses the experience observed in subsets of the aggregated data and periodically produces mortality and morbidity tables.
The fifth investigation covers mortality projections and considers future changes in mortality experience, an area of great importance to actuaries.
The CMI is funded by subscriptions
The subscribers have access to all the outputs we produce; these are also made available to academics and researchers for non-commercial use. Historically, most of CMI’s work was published more widely and these publications remain freely-available on the website.

Finance in the Public Interest Series
16 March 2021 - 23 March 2021
There is widening debate that many of our social, financial and regulatory institutions need to be rethought so that we can create more sustainable futures, particularly in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the policy/macro-economic response to the pandemic and how it affects consumers, as well as the impending climate crisis. This multi-day series of three keynote webinars, individually presented by leading economist John Kay, Sir Paul Collier, Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, Ashok Gupta, Chair at Mercer Ltd, and Nico Aspinall, Chief Investment Officer at B&CE, will open up discussion on these essential topics. The series will culminate in a panel session with Chief Economist of the Bank of England, Andy Haldane.

This webinar will offer answers to these questions in a practical approach to stewardship reporting. -
Dr Catherine Donnelly will present the basics of the structures for pooling longevity risks and summarise recent research results in this area in addition to outlinging future research around this topic.

Mis-estimation risk is a key element of demographic risk, and past work has focused on mis-estimation risk on a run-off basis. However, this does not meet the requirements of regulatory regimes like Solvency II, which demands that capital requirements are set through the prism of a finite horizon like one year. This paper presents a value-at-risk approach to mis-estimation risk suitable for Solvency II work.
