Jon Palin FIA

Jon advises a range of clients on longevity, including base mortality assumptions and variations between different populations, and mortality projections, including stochastic models.

Jon works closely with the Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI). He is responsible for the production of the industry-standard CMI Mortality Projections Model and “S3” series pensioner mortality tables, and provides technical guidance to other CMI committees.

Jon also works with insurers and pension schemes, including projects on cause of death and stochastic models, and is recognised for his clear explanation of technical issues.
