It is interesting to note that these market developments have led insurers to price variable 
annuities less aggressively and provide individuals with less attractive insurance terms and 
conditions, in response to greater awareness of credit risk and costs of hedging.
Further, this is significant as far as the interaction of the pensions and insurance sector goes. Prior 
to the crisis, the insurance sector through products such as variable annuities was stepping in to 
substitute the decline in defined benefits pension schemes and funding shortfalls. However, it now 
appears that these developments are being reversed (OECD, 2009). 
The relative volatility of equity versus non-equity securities over the period around the financial 
crisis, with valuations plummeting initially in 2008, is noteworthy. In part, this reflects difficulties 
of mark-to-market accounting in times of market stress (OECD, 2009). Namely, as markets became 
illiquid, it became difficult to use market-based prices to value securities and institutions switched 
to model-based valuations. However, potential counterparties to trades face uncertainty regarding 
these valuations and are therefore less likely to transact, withdrawing further liquidity from 
financial markets. Similarly, the recovery in 2009 also reflects the interaction between mark-to-
market accounting and increased market liquidity. Some observers have argued that insurance 
undertakings and pension funds should be subject to different accounting standards to reflect the 
long-term nature of their balance sheets and to assuage volatility (and consequently, financial 
instability) resulting from mark-to-market accounting.
