The death numbers from #COVID2019 rightly receive a lot of attention. However depending on the source and the definition of which deaths are counted, they can be quite different. In my latest blog I explore the reasons for the apparent discrepancies.

How bad might #coronavirus get?
In my latest blog I explore the impact a #pandemic could have, and what that might mean for pension schemes.

This Halloween, how scary is 2019 looking?
In my blog I dig up the latest death data, and consider whether the outlook for scheme funding is more trick or treat.

Looking forward to hosting a @DataFest_ fringe event in the @hymansrobertson office this afternoon. We'll be introducing some local secondary school kids to the wonders of data validation and analysis, with a look at life expectancy trends thanks to @clubvita, for #DataFest19
Some thoughts from me on the stories behind the headlines of the new CMI model

Could genetic testing be the next big thing? What would that mean for life expectancy, not to mention insurers? The latest VitaMins explores the issues - well worth a read!

The CMI's mortality monitor for Q4 2018 shows that deaths were relatively low, offsetting the high rates seen in Q1 and leading to largely unchanged mortality for the year as a whole compared to 2017.

While most of us welcome a bit of summer warmth, you can see from the grass just now that there are downsides too. What if this recent hot weather was to become the new 'normal'? We explore potential impacts of climate change in our latest paper: teapawt.org/clubvita/status/101776…
This is sure to be an interesting discussion on how life expectancy may evolve in the future teapawt.org/clubvita/status/981155…
I've shared some thoughts on the new CMI 2017 model on the @clubvita website.
