Modelling correlation between financial quantities is important in the accurate pricing of financial derivatives. In this paper, we introduce some stochasticity in correlation, by considering a regime-switching correlation model, in which the transition rates between regimes are given. We...

A variable annuity contract with Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) promises to return the entire initial investment through cash withdrawals during the policy life plus the remaining account balance at maturity, regardless of the portfolio performance. Under the optimal withdrawal...

We study numerical algorithms for reflected anticipated backward stochastic differential equations (RABSDEs) driven by a Brownian motion and a mutually independent martingale in a defaultable setting. The generator of a RABSDE includes the present and future values of the solution. We introduce...
