Unlike conventional approaches to modeling mortality risk, this paper considers uncertainties in mortality projections rather than uncertainties in realized mortality rates. Specifically, we conduct our analysis on a time series of mortality forecasts generated based on a rolling window of annual mortality data and a fixed forecasting methodology. We find that one to two factors are capable of capturing the great majority of all the variation in the data, and that the shape of these factors is very similar across different forecasting methodologies and populations. Relying on a semi-parametric representation that encompasses all self-consistent models with transitions parameterized by Normal-Distributed random vectors, we identify and estimate suitable models for the dynamic evolution of mortality forecasts. Example applications show that resulting error estimates are considerably different from conventional approaches. Hence, the resulting models present coherent, parsimonious, and tractable workhorses in situations where the appraisal of risks within mortality projections is important.
