Capital per Unit of Pension The capital per unit of pension is a measure of the lump-sum savings needed to finance a lifetime pension of one unit per month. The most important inputs in determining the capital required to purchase a unit of pension are: –the interest rate, –the life expectancy of the person or group of people that will receive the pensions, and –the expenses the company expects to incur in meeting the obligations under the policy. The average ratio of capital per unit of pension has fluctuated between 150 and 175, averaging around 160 over the last twelve years.

Underwriting Losses The minimum technical reserve calculation rules issued by the Insurance Superintendency’ effectively mean that every new policy sold gives rise to an underwriting loss of around 117% of premium. As such, for every US$100 received as single premium from the client, the insurance company is obliged to set up a technical reserve of US$117; the imbalance between assets received (premium) and liabilities assumed (pensions to pay) is covered by a reduction in accounting equity, with this this differential being shown as a technical loss in the income statement.

Annuity Rates, Commissions and Premium At the market level, there seems to be a clear trade-off between the technical interest rate and commissions: companies that pay higher interest rates tend to pay lower commissions to brokers and agents, and viceversa. On the other hand, there also seems to be a positive correlation between level of premium and the interest rate paid on annuities.
