Non-Market Factors
Factors Driving Behavioural Change
12. The risk that a specific population will live longer than anticipated (Blake et al, 2006).
Facts
• Life expectancy is increasing 5 hours a day;.
• The most frequently used life expectancy by
FTSE100 DB pension schemes for a 65 yr old
man is 20 years;
• The Pension Protection Fund (PPF)’s latest
S143 and S179 valuation assumptions set life
expectancy for a 65yr old man as 22 years;
• “If the life expectancy for a male currently
aged 60 is understated by two years,
depending on the assumptions adopted, this
could understate the value of his pension by
around 5%.”
The Purple Book (2007).

27. Stress Testing
• The purpose of stress testing is to determine how a fund performs in extreme market conditions. This
is achieved by simulating market moves during a period of high market volatility.

Stress Testing

In January 2006
equities increased
and real yields
decreased
significantly.
The stress testing
shows how
unhedged schemes
lost all the gain in
equities because of
the increase in
liabilities (which
resulted from the
decrease in real
yields). Hedged
schemes captured
the former and
were protected
against the latter.

To our dear customers,
When our inaugural flight took off in January 2007, we pledged to change the face of air travel. Your
appreciation of our unique values and your belief in our product has allowed us to achieve this.
Your belief in us was shared by our investors - but regrettably, due to unforeseen circumstances, they were
unable to unlock the finance that we needed. As a result, we are very sad to announce that from 30 May 2008,
we will cease operations and we are no longer able to honour flight reservations.
We extend our sincerest apologies to those of you who have travel plans with Silverjet in the future and at
present. You are advised to seek alternative travel arrangements with other carriers, and contact your credit
card company or travel agent directly for information on obtaining refunds.
We are working actively with new investors who are prepared to inject new funds so we can recommence
operations. If we are able to achieve this, we will make an announcement as soon as possible and we hope to
be able to bring you our very 'sivilised' flying experience again.
Thank you for your support - it has meant everything.
Yours sincerely,
Lawrence Hunt, CEO

“Southwest owns long-term contracts to buy most of its fuel through 2009 for
what it would cost if oil were $51 a barrel. The value of those hedges soared
as oil raced above $90 a barrel, and they are now worth more than $2 billion.”
