RMS LifeRisks

LifeRisks Platform

RMS LifeRisks® is a cloud-based software platform that delivers the models and data to perform portfolio-specific analytics for the management of extreme mortality and longevity risk.

Quantify Mortality Shocks

Including the RMS Infectious Diseases Model to help understand pandemic influenza and emerging infectious diseases, the RMS Excess Mortality Model suite provides causal analysis for mortality shock across perils, geographies, and lines of business.

Model Future Mortality

The RMS Longevity Risk Model projects future mortality improvements by blending medical science and best-in-class statistical and actuarial techniques.

Hedging Mortality and Longevity Risk

Insurers managing risk capital requirements for both life insurance exposure and annuity liabilities can quantify the hedge across mortality and longevity risk.

Science, Technology, Insurance

As an authoritative resource in stochastic risk modeling, mathematical biology, and epidemiology, LifeRisks combines modeling science, technology, and insurance expertise.

Forward-Looking Mortality Model

Detailed analysis of "vitagions" – drivers of mortality improvement – provides a framework to project medium- and long-term dynamics of mortality trends.

Understand Extreme Mortality

Combine the latest infectious disease modeling alongside individual perils that cause mortality shocks such as terrorism and earthquake, to deliver insightful causal analysis.

Risk Diagnostics

Drill down into model results to understand risk drivers and identify scenarios that represent key loss thresholds.

Independent and Impartial

RMS provides impartial risk analysis, as our models support insurers, reinsurers, intermediaries, and the capital markets.

Infectious Disease Model (IDM)

RMS pioneered the probabilistic quantification of infectious disease risk with the release of IDM in 2006. The stochastic event set covers influenza and emerging infectious disease pandemics, including coronaviruses. The IDM incorporates the latest scientific research related to human mortality. Model output supports pandemic planning, portfolio management, risk transfer and capital adequacy stress-testing.

Swiss Re Chooses RMS for Pandemic Risk

RMS was selected by Swiss Re for the 2020 reissuance of its excess mortality bond (‘Matterhorn’). RMS models provided in-depth insights into the risk of extreme mortality from a variety of perils, most notably pandemics and terror attacks. The bond was well-received by investors, taking Swiss Re’s protection from the Matterhorn program to US$855 million.
