AB - This paper analyzed the financial and the utility values of the reverse mortgage loan by comparing them with those of the immediate life annuities. The financial value was measured by MW ratio, and the utility value was estimated by RMEA, which is similar to the widely used AEW. First, the results from the financial analysis indicate that, if the value of the reverse mortgage loan consists of the residential value and the annuity value, then the residential value is considerably high in the reverse mortgage loan. The MW ratio varies among the house ownership types, but the MW ratio of the monthly rent type is over 1, and MW ratio of the residential value is higher than MW ratio of the annuity value in the monthly rent type. Regarding utility-based analysis, if the residential cost is ignored, then the immediate life annuity is favorable compared to the reverse mortgage loan. However, if the housing cost is assumed to be 30% of the current value of the house, then the reverse mortgage loan starts becoming a better choice than the immediate life annuity depending on the house value, financial asset, and payout types. Moreover, if the housing cost is assumed to be 50% of the current value of the house, then the reverse mortgage loan becomes a better option than the immediate life annuity for all considered cases. These findings imply that the residential value of the reverse mortgage loan has considerable benefits in lowering the longevity risk, especially for groups who expect certain housing costs.
