Hi, I made a posting on the subject of calculating pension annuity
factors on the FSA basis a couple of months ago. Instead of rehashing
this, the post can be found at:

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk.finance/browse_thread/thread/cca2893c41ed2b2a/2b971750f9dc5fae?q=annuity+factor&rnum=1#2b971750f9dc5fae

Having gone back and done a bit of reading / studying on this subject,
it is a lot clearer to me now how to do this.

However, I was recently told that the PMA92/PFA92 mortality arrays
which are used in these calculations should be adjusted on the medium
cohort basis.

I understand why the cohort adjustments are made - I'm just getting a
bit stumped about what exact adjustments should be made to the data
within these tables / how to make the adjustments....

Or is there a table floating about out somewhere with the medium cohort
adjustments already applied ?

I'm sure there are a few actuaries who read this group who could answer
this question.
