    Finance in the Public Interest 2022

    The pensions system in the UK and many other countries was set up at a time when expectations over life expectancy, investment returns, inflation and general views on government and companies were all vastly different from where we are today. Adjustments over time go some way to address these changes but generally have other unintended consequences and our current system is unlikely where we would have ended up if we had designed something holistic from scratch.

    In allowing for diversification between risks, it is important to understand the key variables driving dependencies between risks, not least to meet Solvency II internal model rules. This paper first explores what drives dependencies between market and credit risks, and then explores dependencies with insurance and operational risks.
