The latest agreement is the pair’s fifth such transaction since 2015, with now approximately $5bn of longevity risk reinsured between the pair.

Prudential said that the deal underscores the rebounding demand for pension de-risking solutions in the UK, and the desire of many UK pension insurers to manage their risks and capital using longevity reinsurance.

Prudential head of transactions for international longevity reinsurance William McCloskey said: “Prudential is proud to strengthen its growing partnership with Pension Insurance Corporation.

“Our teams have worked closely and collaboratively on five transactions worth nearly $5bn. These agreements help PIC to manage longevity risk and thereby secure the retirement benefits of thousands of UK pensioners.”
