assumer le risque viager

English translation: assumes the life contingency risk

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:assumer le risque viager
English translation:assumes the life contingency risk

Bus/Financial - Insurance / Pensions document
French term or phrase: assumer le risque viager
From a fairly technical pensions document:

"A la liquidation de la retraite d'un bénéficiaire, la provision nécessaire aux versements de la rente est calculée selon l'Article 5.1 et est transférée sur le fonds de service des rentes de l'Assureur qui assume le risque viager et la gestion financière du fonds de service des rentes."

I see that 'risque viager' equates to 'life contingency', but am having a hard time seeing how to translate 'ASSUME le risque viager'.

agree  Richard Benham: Note for Charlotte: The collocation "to assume a risk" is common enough. Is there a problem?
