Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Keyport Life first launched ”Key Index” in February 1995, Equity-indexed annuities are considered to be the most innovative products to appear on the market in years. EIAs are, essentially equity-linked deferred annuities which provide the policyholder with a guaranteed accumulation rate on their premium, and also at maturity, benefits from an additional return based on the performance of an equity mutual fund or a family of mutual funds or a stock index, typically of the Standard and Poor's (S&P 500) index, so the customer can profit from the growth of the stock market. Products designs of EIAs can vary , depending on the companies that sell them.In this paper, we focus on the pricing of one of the product design in the market which gives the possibility to surrender their policy before maturity. Such options can be valued using Monte Carlo simulation method proposed for pricing American options but, here, we use the least squares Monte-Carlo suggested by Longstaff and Schwartz added to the control variate tool in order to construct efficient estimators. We analyze these equity-linked life insurance contracts under four different models. The frameworks differ from the way we model the price of the fund associated with the contract. The first setting is the usual Black and Scholes model, the second is the environment of jump diffusions, especially a Kou process, the third is the regime switching log normal model developed by Hamilton and the fourth is a mixed of a regime switching and a jump diffusion. The surrender option is priced using the Longstaff and Schwartz methodology.

Download or read book Efficient Pricing of Ratchet Equity Indexed Annuities in a VG Economy written by Laura Ballotta and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we propose a new method for approximating the price of arithmetic Asian options in a VG economy which is then applied to the problem of pricing Equity Indexed Annuity contracts. The proposed procedure is an extension to the case of a VG-based model of the moment-matching method developed by Turnbull and Wakeman (1991) and Levy (1992) for the pricing of this class of path-dependent options in the traditional Black-Scholes setting. The accuracy of the approximation is analysed against RQMC estimates for the case of ratchet Equity Indexed Annuities with index averaging.

Download or read book Efficient Valuation of Equity-Indexed Annuities Under Lévy Processes Using Fourier-Cosine Series written by Geng Deng and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equity-Indexed Annuities (EIAs) are deferred annuities which accumulate value over time according to crediting formulas and realized equity index returns. We propose an efficient algorithm to value two popular crediting formulas found in EIAs - Annual Point-to-Point (APP) and Monthly Point-to-Point (MPP) - under general Lévy-process based index returns. APP contracts observe returns of referenced indexes annually and credit EIA accounts, subject to minimum and maximum returns. MPP contracts incorporate both local/monthly caps and global/annual floors on index credits. MPP contracts have payoffs of a "cliquet" option. Our algorithm, based on the COS method (Fang and Oosterlee, 2008), expands the present value of an EIA contract using Fourier-cosine series, expresses the value of the EIA contract as a series of terms involving simple characteristic function evaluations. We present several examples with different Lévy processes, including the Black-Scholes model and the CGMY model. These examples illustrate the efficiency of our algorithm as well as its versatility in computing annuity market sensitivities, which could facilitate the hedging and pricing of annuity contracts.

This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incorporates the many tools needed for modeling and pricing infinance and insurance Introductory Stochastic Analysis for Finance and Insuranceintroduces readers to the topics needed to master and use basicstochastic analysis techniques for mathematical finance. The authorpresents the theories of stochastic processes and stochasticcalculus and provides the necessary tools for modeling and pricingin finance and insurance. Practical in focus, the book's emphasisis on application, intuition, and computation, rather thantheory. Consequently, the text is of interest to graduate students,researchers, and practitioners interested in these areas. While thetext is self-contained, an introductory course in probabilitytheory is beneficial to prospective readers. This book evolved from the author's experience as an instructor andhas been thoroughly classroom-tested. Following an introduction,the author sets forth the fundamental information and tools neededby researchers and practitioners working in the financial andinsurance industries: * Overview of Probability Theory * Discrete-Time stochastic processes * Continuous-time stochastic processes * Stochastic calculus: basic topics The final two chapters, Stochastic Calculus: Advanced Topics andApplications in Insurance, are devoted to more advanced topics.Readers learn the Feynman-Kac formula, the Girsanov's theorem, andcomplex barrier hitting times distributions. Finally, readersdiscover how stochastic analysis and principles are applied inpractice through two insurance examples: valuation of equity-linkedannuities under a stochastic interest rate environment andcalculation of reserves for universal life insurance. Throughout the text, figures and tables are used to help simplifycomplex theory and pro-cesses. An extensive bibliography opens upadditional avenues of research to specialized topics. Ideal for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, thistext is recommended for one-semester courses in stochastic financeand calculus. It is also recommended as a study guide forprofessionals taking Causality Actuarial Society (CAS) and Societyof Actuaries (SOA) actuarial examinations.

Download or read book Actuarial Finance written by Mathieu Boudreault and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new textbook offering a comprehensive introduction to models and techniques for the emerging field of actuarial Finance Drs. Boudreault and Renaud answer the need for a clear, application-oriented guide to the growing field of actuarial finance with this volume, which focuses on the mathematical models and techniques used in actuarial finance for the pricing and hedging of actuarial liabilities exposed to financial markets and other contingencies. With roots in modern financial mathematics, actuarial finance presents unique challenges due to the long-term nature of insurance liabilities, the presence of mortality or other contingencies and the structure and regulations of the insurance and pension markets. Motivated, designed and written for and by actuaries, this book puts actuarial applications at the forefront in addition to balancing mathematics and finance at an adequate level to actuarial undergraduates. While the classical theory of financial mathematics is discussed, the authors provide a thorough grounding in such crucial topics as recognizing embedded options in actuarial liabilities, adequately quantifying and pricing liabilities, and using derivatives and other assets to manage actuarial and financial risks. Actuarial applications are emphasized and illustrated with about 300 examples and 200 exercises. The book also comprises end-of-chapter point-form summaries to help the reader review the most important concepts. Additional topics and features include: Compares pricing in insurance and financial markets Discusses event-triggered derivatives such as weather, catastrophe and longevity derivatives and how they can be used for risk management; Introduces equity-linked insurance and annuities (EIAs, VAs), relates them to common derivatives and how to manage mortality for these products Introduces pricing and replication in incomplete markets and analyze the impact of market incompleteness on insurance and risk management; Presents immunization techniques alongside Greeks-based hedging; Covers in detail how to delta-gamma/rho/vega hedge a liability and how to rebalance periodically a hedging portfolio. This text will prove itself a firm foundation for undergraduate courses in financial mathematics or economics, actuarial mathematics or derivative markets. It is also highly applicable to current and future actuaries preparing for the exams or actuary professionals looking for a valuable addition to their reference shelf. As of 2019, the book covers significant parts of the Society of Actuaries’ Exams FM, IFM and QFI Core, and the Casualty Actuarial Society’s Exams 2 and 3F. It is assumed the reader has basic skills in calculus (differentiation and integration of functions), probability (at the level of the Society of Actuaries’ Exam P), interest theory (time value of money) and, ideally, a basic understanding of elementary stochastic processes such as random walks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Options-based "synthetic annuities" give investors the ability to generate higher returns, provide better downside protection, and utilize risk more efficiently than pure stock and bond-based portfolios. Now, this strategy's creator shows exactly how to use them to support a wide range of trading and investing goals. Hedge fund manager Michael Lovelady shows how synthetic annuities blend the best features of traditional portfolios with the risk management discipline of quantitative investing, increasing current yields while also reducing volatility. Michael presents this new strategy with unique graphics and simplified models that any investor or trader can use, and demonstrates its value in the context of today's key market trends. He illuminates the entire "ecosystem" of theories, products, and tools surrounding synthetic annuities, and shows exactly how to integrate them with other investment and portfolio management techniques.
