When a no negative equity guarantee is offered, as Reverse Mortgages do, these variables are the ones that most significantly impact the size of the losses and the timing on termination for the lenders. This Master Thesis studies the risks that a lenders faces when providing this type of loan and the pricing of RMs applied to the Portuguese case, by estimating the house price and the required reverse mortgage interest rate when considering a RM annuity and a RM lump sum.engReverse MortgageVAR modelVECMPensionSemi-Markov multiple state modelNo negative equity guaranteePortugalmaster thesis201821249
