About Annuity Systems, Inc.

Founded in May 2000, ASI is the brainchild of Dr. K. Ravindran, a pioneer and leading expert on quantifying, managing and monitoring equity–based investment product–related risks. Although ASI was created in 2000, through its predecessors, the professionals at ASI have been providing risk–management advice to insurance companies since the late 90s. As a matter of fact, they are widely regarded as pioneers in implementing hedging strategies for insurance companies writing Variable Annuity products. Furthermore, the delta hedging strategy, which is now commonly used by many insurance companies to hedge their VA–related risks, was pioneered and implemented by the principals of ASI in 1999. In addition to consulting, the principals of ASI have also been involved in actively managing the risks associated with these guarantees. Since the implementation of the first delta hedging program in 1999, the principals of ASI have managed at least USD 100 billion in account value and consulted on at least twice the amount.
