Life risk is the umbrella term that covers the two primary risks to which an investment or position in the life-linked investment market has exposure: longevity risk and mortality risk. In both risks, human life – or, more specifically, when an individual dies – is the primary influencing factor in the success or failure of an investment strategy which is exposed to one or both of these risks. (e.g., the life involved either continues longer than expected or ends sooner than expected).
