Practical Considerations in Managing Variable Annuities
Variable annuities have grown tremendously in recent years, offering life insurers significant growth opportunities. These equity and interest rate structured products offer a broad range of guarantees to the policyholders, and insurers must manage their risks. The insurer’s risk management program must consider modeling and implementation challenges beyond that of the standard capital market a...
متن کاملGuaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit in Variable Annuities
We develop a singular stochastic control model for pricing variable annuities with the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit. This benefit promises to return the entire initial investment, with withdrawals spread over the term of the contract, irrespective of the market performance of the underlying asset portfolio. A contractual withdrawal rate is set and no penalty is imposed when the policyh...
متن کاملA numerical scheme for the impulse control formulation for pricing variable annuities with a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (GMWB)
In this paper, we outline an impulse stochastic control formulation for pricing variable annuities with a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) assuming the policyholder is allowed to withdraw funds continuously. We develop a single numerical scheme for solving the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) variational inequality corresponding to the impulse control problem, and for pricing realistic...
متن کاملA maxmin problem on finite automata
We solve the following problem proposed by H. Straubing. Given a two letter alphabet A, what is the maximal number of states f(n) of the minimal automaton of a subset of An, the set of all words of length n. We give an explicit formula to compute f(n) and we show that 1 = lim n→∞ nf(n)/2n ≤ limn→∞ nf(n)/2 n = 2. The purpose of this note is to solve the following question, raised by H. Straubing...
متن کاملA Note on the Delta-Hedging Strategy for Variable Annuities
For variable annuities, the cost of hedging must be taken into consideration when firms use the dynamic hedging strategy. In this paper, we study hedging strategies by assuming the hedge position follows a random walk with boundary conditions. We find that re-balancing delta to the initial position is always more cost-efficient than re-balancing it to the edge for a fixed transaction cost. Howe...
