What is an Annuity Hedging job?

An Annuity Hedging job involves managing the financial risks associated with annuity products, typically at an insurance or investment firm. Professionals in this role use derivatives, asset-liability management strategies, and financial modeling to hedge risks such as interest rate fluctuations, market volatility, and policyholder behavior.
