Premiums and benefits associated with traditional life insurance contracts are usually specified as fixed amounts in policy conditions. However, reserve-dependent surrender values and reserve-dependent expenses are common in insurance practice. The famous Cantelli theorem in life insurance...

The present work complements the recent paper by Barz and Müller (2012). Specifically, upper and lower bounds are derived for the force of mortality when one-year death probabilities are given, assuming a monotonic, convex or concave shape. Based on these bounds, worst-case scenarios are...

In this paper, we develop a model supporting the so-called square-root formula used in Solvency II to aggregate the modular life SCR. Describing the insurance policy by a Markov jump process, we can obtain expressions similar to the square-root formula in Solvency II by means of limited...
