Professor David Blake to Keynote the Longevity and Mortality Investor Conference 2026 – One Month To Go

[London, UK, 21st April 2026] – Longevity and Mortality Investor (LMI), the leading digital magazine dedicated to exploring the intersection of longevity risk, mortality risk and the financial markets, is delighted to announce that Professor David Blake of Bayes Business School will give the keynote presentation at the Longevity and Mortality Investor Conference 2026. 

Taking place in London’s Canary Wharf district at the offices of EY on Tuesday, 19th May 2026, the Longevity and Mortality Investor Conference promises to deliver insightful debates and presentations on the future of capital markets participation in longevity and mortality risk to more than 200 attendees. 

In his presentation, Prof. Blake will offer an in-depth look at the longevity market — its origins, evolution, and future potential as an investable asset class. This presentation will explore the development of the market over the past 25 years, including the quantification of longevity risk, key market requirements, macro-longevity assets, and the opportunities to expand the asset class further. 

Panel sessions scheduled at the event include a ‘State of the Market’ discussion, where experts from across the pension risk transfer, life settlements and life ILS markets will share insights on current developments. A consultants’ panel will explore how institutional investment consultants view longevity and mortality risk strategies, alongside a dedicated session on longevity benchmarking and index development. 

The Longevity and Mortality Investor Conference also features a panel of leading legal and structuring experts who will examine key developments across the life risk market, and presentations that explore developments in longevity and mortality risk markets, emerging trends in longevity analytics and demographic modelling, and behavioural dynamics within the life risk sector.
