David Dorr's background in alternative asset classes stems from his experience in longevity risk markets. He was the founder and CEO of Life-Exchange, Inc., the first electronic exchange platform for the trading of longevity assets between hedge funds, private equity funds, insurance companies, and global investment banks.
David has been a featured speaker on trading longevity risk to institutional audiences, including pension funds and family offices, in both the United States and Europe.
David's market commentary and articles have been featured in Business Week, Investment Dealer's Digest, Insurance Selling Magazine, and DealFlow Media. He is also one of only a few authors to have their research published three years in a row in the Journal of Structured Finance. It was his most recent research piece titled "Has Longevity in the U.S. Peaked?" Summer Issue JOSF 2009 that brought to the surface years of mounting concern over the impact of global trends on mortality rates. Global macro themes have a direct impact on managing longevity risk; and David's concern was, and still remains, that these risks are not being properly accounted for by institutional fund managers. Pension funds, which by their very nature must deal with the impact of longevity on their portfolios, are often ill equipped to incorporate these complex issues into their investment analyses.
