近年來的熱門話題是人口結構變遷對社會的影響,人口老齡化的問題最受到擔憂,造成此現象之原因為生育率及死亡率的下降。因死亡率下降造成預期壽命的延長,使個人承擔更多的長壽風險(Longevity Risk),需要有更多的資金去支付年老退休後的生活花費及延長壽命的醫療支出,故近年來針對退休族群的儲蓄險、年金險、投資型保單的熱銷,也是反映了這個現象。對退休基金和壽險公司而言,身為長期的投資管理者,這是一個重要的訊號:若死亡率的增減會改變投資人的投資決策,則代表死亡率和資本市場之間可能存在著某種關聯。壽險公司及退休基金可利用此資訊,在做商品規劃及投資決策時,可多加考量死亡率變動所造成的風險,調整產品業務的比例、投資配置的組合,並做好投資上的避險策略。 本研究採用台灣人口死亡率及經濟變數進行實證分析,探討台灣人口死亡率的變動對超額報酬產生的影響。 實證結果得知死亡率與超額報酬有顯著的相關,除了壽險公司及退休基金可利用此資訊做投資規劃,對於一般投資人,也可利用此資訊做長壽風險的投資參考依據。
