    This paper will firstly study the main characteristics of longevity bonds (LBs) and show that they can take a large variety of forms, which can vary enormously in their sensitivities to longevity shocks. Then we discuss how LBs can be used as a risk management tool for hedging longevity risk. Finally, we analyze different ways to engineer LBs and consider problems arising from the dearth of ultra-long government bonds and the choice of the reference population index.
