Valuation of Endowment-Insurance Equity-Linked Contracts for Stocks with Exotic Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the fair martingale prize of insurance contracts with benefit received either at the insurer's demise or at maturity. We show how to modify the dynamics of the underlying so as to incorporate the possibility that the traded stock has a strong support at some level. The resulting dynamics is integrated and the fair prize of several natural endowment-insurance contracts is obtained.

Design and Pricing of Equity-Linked Life Insurance under Stochastic Interest Rates
A valuation model for equity-linked life insurance contracts incorporating stochastic interest rates is presented. Our model generalizes some previous pricing results based on deterministic interest rates. Moreover, a design of a new equity-linked product with some appealing features is proposed and compared with the periodical premium contract of Brennan and Schwartz (1976). Our new product is...
متن کاملThe Uncertain Mortality Intensity Framework: Pricing and Hedging Unit-Linked Life Insurance Contracts
We study the valuation and hedging of unit-linked life insurance contracts in a setting where mortality intensity is governed by a stochastic process. We focus on model risk arising from different specifications for the mortality intensity. To do so we assume that the mortality intensity is almost surely bounded under the statistical measure. Further, we restrict the equivalent martingale measu...
متن کاملLife insurance liabilities at market value
This paper takes a contingent claim approach to the market valuation of equity and liabilities in life insurance companies. A model is presented which explicitly takes into account the facts that the holders of life insurance contracts (LICs) have the first claim on the company’s assets whereas equityholders have limited liability, that interest rate guarantees are common elements of LICs, and ...
متن کاملOptimal Hedging and Pricing of Equity-LinkedLife Insurance Contracts in a Discrete-Time Incomplete Market
We present a method of optimal hedging and pricing of equity-linked life insurance products in an incomplete discrete-time financial market. A pure endowment life insurance contract with guarantee is used as an example. The financial market incompleteness is caused by the assumption that the underlying risky asset price ratios are distributed in a compact interval, generalizing the assumptions ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Secondary Markets on Equity-Linked Life Insurance with Surrender Guarantees
We study the effect of secondary markets on equity-linked life insurance contracts with surrender guarantees. The policyholders are assumed to be boundedly rational in giving up their contracts, and a proportion of policyholders will access the secondary markets instead of surrendering the contracts to the insurance company. We formulate the valuation problems from both the insurance company’s ...
