Longevity and Mortality Investor

What Longevity and Mortality Investor does

Longevity and Mortality Investor (LMI) is a specialized B2B media and events platform covering the intersection of longevity risk, mortality risk and the financial markets. It operates two integrated products: a monthly digital magazine published at lminvestor.com and an annual flagship conference (the Longevity & Mortality Investor Conference, rebranded in 2026 from the prior Life ILS Conference series) held in London at EY's Canary Wharf offices. Content spans pensions, insurance, capital markets and life sciences, with recurring coverage of life settlements, pension risk transfer, life ILS, longevity analytics, demographic modelling and mortality-linked securities. The publication is owned by the European Life Settlement Association (ELSA), a nonprofit industry association founded in 2009 and dedicated to promoting transparency through collaborative industry standards.

LMI's core technology is a digital magazine website plus a dedicated event website, with no proprietary platform, API, SDK or AI/ML product disclosed. The underlying "technology" is editorial — postcode/ZIP-based mortality modelling, demographic modelling and life ILS structuring are covered as subject matter, not as proprietary offerings. Leadership is concentrated: Chris Wells serves as both Managing Editor of LMI and Executive Director at ELSA, and Greg Winterton chairs origination panel discussions. The community is anchored by named editorial participants from Conning, Aon, Swiss Re, Northern Trust, Milliman and other major institutional players.

The business model rests on three revenue streams: (i) tiered conference ticket sales (Super Early Bird £295 + VAT, Early Bird £345 + VAT, Standard £395 + VAT), (ii) a five-tier sponsorship program with EY as Venue Host and Longevity Holdings as Prime Sponsor, alongside Conference Leaders, Conference Partners, Break Hosts and Conference Supporters, and (iii) recurring magazine subscription/issue releases (pricing not publicly disclosed). Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the magazine website and self-serve via Eventbrite for tickets. Target customers are institutional investors in longevity/mortality-linked assets, pension and insurance professionals, regulators/policymakers, and senior industry decision-makers across law firms, consultancies and life sciences — a vertical segmentation approach with global geographic scope covering the UK, US, Canada and broader Europe.

Core offering

Longevity and Mortality Investor publishes a digital magazine (lminvestor.com) and hosts an annual in-person and virtual conference (lmiconference.com) dedicated to longevity and mortality risk in financial markets. Editorial coverage and the conference agenda focus on pension risk transfer, life settlements, life insurance-linked securities (Life ILS), reinsurance, longevity analytics and demographic modelling for institutional investors, pension/insurance professionals, regulators and industry leaders.

Product overview

Longevity and Mortality Investor operates as a unified editorial and events platform rather than a software suite, anchored by two main offerings that work in tandem. The core product is the Longevity and Mortality Investor (LMI) digital magazine — a continuously published editorial property exploring longevity risk, mortality risk and the financial markets, covering pensions, insurance, capital markets and life sciences. Layered on top of the magazine is the Longevity & Mortality Investor Conference, an annual flagship event (the 2026 edition held on 19th May 2026 at EY's Canary Wharf offices) built on the foundations of the prior Life ILS Conference series, which gives the magazine's analysis an in-person and virtual forum. The publication is owned and published by the European Life Settlement Association (ELSA), which also links to related ELSA programming such as the Dublin Life Settlement Symposium 2026. Conference content (panels, keynote, presentations, summary reports) and magazine issues are produced as a coordinated editorial cycle: each conference surfaces analysis that feeds subsequent magazine coverage, and each magazine issue informs the next year's agenda.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• The Actuary (Witherbys / Institute and Faculty of Actuaries media): Established actuarial profession media covering life insurance, pensions, and longevity. Comparable in editorial subject matter (longevity analytics, demographic modelling) but serves a broader actuarial audience rather than LMI's investor-led niche.
• Insurance Journal: Large US-centric insurance industry news and events platform. Comparable in targeting insurance and risk professionals and running industry events, though with a broader commercial/property-casualty focus than LMI's longevity/mortality niche.
• Risk.net (Infopro Digital): Major financial risk management media and events business. Comparable in covering longevity, mortality, and ILS topics for institutional risk professionals, but operates as a broad incumbent across all financial risk categories.
• AM Best: Global credit rating agency with a dedicated events and research arm covering insurance, reinsurance, and life insurance. Compares on the life insurance / reinsurance editorial and events footprint, though anchored by its rating agency franchise.

Regional players

• Pension Risk Transfer specialist coverage (e.g., IPE / Investment & Pensions Europe): European pension industry media and events business covering PRT, bulk annuities, and pension investment. Comparable on the PRT/pension end of LMI's coverage map and overlapping with the European institutional audience, but anchored in pensions rather than the broader life risk capital markets remit.

Direct peers

• Trading Risk (Clear Path Analysis): Niche media and events platform focused on insurance-linked securities, longevity risk transfer, and alternative capital. Closely comparable given shared ILS/longevity editorial focus and similar B2B events model.
• Insurance Asset Risk: B2B media and events brand covering insurance investment, asset management, and risk transfer — directly comparable to LMI's intersection of insurance, pensions, and capital markets, with overlapping sponsor and institutional reader bases.
• Insurance Investor: Specialist insurance investment media and events business serving pension funds, insurers, and asset managers. Highly comparable given LMI's similar focus on longevity-linked asset classes and the same institutional buyer universe.
• Reactions (Newton Media / EMAP successor): Long-running insurance industry magazine and events brand covering re/insurance, life insurance, and risk transfer markets. Comparable editorial remit and similar reliance on sponsorships and institutional subscriptions.
• Artemis (Insurance-Linked Securities media): Specialist ILS, catastrophe bond, and life ILS media property. Directly comparable on the life ILS / longevity-linked securities coverage that anchors LMI's editorial mission, with an overlapping expert contributor base.
