The purpose of this paper is to conduct a market-consistent valuation of life insurance participating liabilities sold to a population of partially heterogeneous customers under the joint impact of biometric and financial risk. In particular, the heterogeneity between groups of policyholders...

In this paper we analyse, in an contingent-claims framework, one of the most common life insurance policies sold in Italy during the last two decades. The policy, of the endowment type, is initially priced as a standard one, given a risk-neutral mortality probability tnea~ure and a technical...

Life annuities and pension products usually involve a number of guarantees, such as minimum accumulation rates, minimum annual payments or a minimum total payout. Packaging different types of guarantees is the feature of so-called variable annuities. Basically, these products are unit-linked...

In this paper we describe and compare different numerical schemes for the valuation of unit-linked contracts with and without surrender option. We implement two different algorithms based on the Least Squares Monte Carlo method (LSMC), an algorithm based on the Partial Differential Equation...

The aim of this paper is to construct a dynamic programming algorithm for pricing variable annuities with GLWB under a stochastic mortality framework. Although our set-up is very general and only requires the Markovian property for the mortality intensity and the asset price processes, in the...

Life annuities and pension products usually involve a number of ‘guarantees', such as, e.g., minimum accumulation rates, minimum annual payments and minimum total payout. Packaging different types of guarantees is the feature of the so-called Variable Annuities. Basically, these products are...

A valuation model for equity-linked life insurance contracts incorporating stochastic interest rates is presented. Our model generalizes some previous pricing results of Aase and Persson (1994) and Ekern and Persson (1996), based on deterministic interest rates. Moreover, a design of a new...
