This book was released on 2018 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we develop a novel and efficient transform-based method to price equity-linked annuities (ELAs), including equity-indexed annuities (EIAs) and cliquet-style payoff structures popular in the insurance market under a general class of stochastic volatility models with jumps. We utilize frame duality and density projection combined with a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) weak approximation scheme and spectral filtering. Contracts considered include EIAs with return guarantees of a cliquet style. Models considered include exponential Levy processes, regime-switching Lévy processes, and stochastic volatility models with a general jump size distribution including Heston, Scott's, Hull-White, Schöbel-Zhu, and the 3/2 models. We also consider some recently proposed stochastic volatility models in the literature such as the -Hypergeometric model, and the 4/2 model. Our framework encompasses and extends the current literature on EIAs with highly efficient and accurate valuation methods. Numerical experiments confirm our findings.

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.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this paper is to value EIA contracts with surrender option at a fair price in a stochastic interest rate environment. A non Gaussian model is proposed where a new process called Kou Regime Switching process is introduced to give a more realistic modelling for financial prices. A general methodology is proposed and applied to mix GMDB and GMMB contract. Quasi-closed form solutions are given when the surrender clause is not present and this solution is incorporated into a LSMC algorithm to solve the pricing problem in the surrender case.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis studies the estimation, goodness-of-fit testing, pricing and sampling problems for regime switching models, which are popularly used in financial markets. Specifically, we consider such models whose distributions are characterized by their characteristic functions, for example, Levy processes. The thesis contains the following contents: Chapter 1 introduces regime switching models and Levy processes. Then we present the problems we would like to address in the following chapters and our main contributions to these problems. Chapter 2 studies the estimation problem for regime switching Levy processes. We extend an existing estimation method that is based on characteristic functions to our models. Meanwhile, we compare the estimation results obtained by the proposed estimation method with those obtained by the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. We also address several computational challenges within the proposed estimation method. Chapter 3 studies the goodness-of-fit testing problem for regime switching models, where we extend two existing goodness-of-fit tests. Both of the proposed tests are based on characteristic functions. Chapter 4 applies the estimation and testing methods proposed in Chapters 2 and 3 to a set of S&P 500 real data. Chapter 5 studies the pricing problem for regime switching Levy processes. We propose a numerical pricing method that provides a unified pricing framework. The proposed method is illustrated by pricing European and Bermudan options and ratchet equity-index annuities (EIAs) with surrender risk. Chapter 6 studies the problem of sampling conditioned processes of regime switching models, where we propose an algorithm to sample paths from conditioned processes for a two-regime switching Black-Scholes model. Then we apply the proposed algorithm to the problems of pricing and static hedging of path-dependent options, where we use an Asian call option for illustrations. Chapter 7 lists several topics for future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the groundbreaking research of Harry Markowitz into the application of operations research to the optimization of investment portfolios, finance has been one of the most important areas of application of operations research. The use of hidden Markov models (HMMs) has become one of the hottest areas of research for such applications to finance. This handbook offers systemic applications of different methodologies that have been used for decision making solutions to the financial problems of global markets. As the follow-up to the authors’ Hidden Markov Models in Finance (2007), this offers the latest research developments and applications of HMMs to finance and other related fields. Amongst the fields of quantitative finance and actuarial science that will be covered are: interest rate theory, fixed-income instruments, currency market, annuity and insurance policies with option-embedded features, investment strategies, commodity markets, energy, high-frequency trading, credit risk, numerical algorithms, financial econometrics and operational risk. Hidden Markov Models in Finance: Further Developments and Applications, Volume II presents recent applications and case studies in finance and showcases the formulation of emerging potential applications of new research over the book’s 11 chapters. This will benefit not only researchers in financial modeling, but also others in fields such as engineering, the physical sciences and social sciences. Ultimately the handbook should prove to be a valuable resource to dynamic researchers interested in taking full advantage of the power and versatility of HMMs in accurately and efficiently capturing many of the processes in the financial market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication helps policy makers to better understand annuity products and the guarantees they provide in order to optimise the role that these products can play in financing retirement. Product design is a crucial factor in the potential role of annuity products within the pension system, along with the cost and demand for these products, and the resulting risks that are borne by the annuity providers. Increasingly complex products, however, pose additional challenges concerning consumer protection. Consumers need to be aware of their options and have access to unbiased and comprehensible advice and information about these products.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lévy processes have found applications in various fields, including physics, chemistry, long-term climate change, telephone communication, and finance. The most famous Lévy process in finance is the Black-Scholes model. This book presents important financial applications of Lévy processes. The Editors consider jump-diffusion and pure non-Gaussian Lévy processes, the multi-dimensional Black-Scholes model, and regime-switching Lévy models. This book is comprised of seven chapters that focus on different approaches to solving applied problems under Lévy processes: Monte Carlo simulations, machine learning, the frame projection method, dynamic programming, the Fourier cosine series expansion, finite difference schemes, and the Wiener-Hopf factorization. Various numerical examples are carefully presented in tables and figures to illustrate the methods designed in the book"--
