3 Summary Focus: Longevity (trend) bonds. Question: How do multi-population models behave in the analysis of the payoff? Answer: We find some inconsistencies between the different models, especially in the tail of the distribution. Solution: Derive upper and lower bounds based on country-specific derivatives.

20 Longevity trend bonds and spread options The payoff of the Swiss Re Kortis bond: 0, ( ) if I(T ) ε. Payoff = B 1 I(t) α ε α, if ε I(T ) α. B, if α I(T ). where α is the attachment point and ε is the exhaustion point. K(α, ε) = B ( ( )) ε α ε α (I(T ) α)+ (I(T ) ε) +. Hanbali, Linders and Dhaene Amsterdam 21 September / 29

21 Spread options Upper and lower bounds The price C X of a call option on X = X 1 X 2 admits the following bounds: C X c C X C X l, where: X l = F 1 X 1 (U) F 1 X 2 (1 U), i.e. the Fréchet lower bound. X c = F 1 X 1 (U) F 1 X 2 (U), i.e. the Fréchet upper bound. Hanbali, Linders and Dhaene Amsterdam 21 September / 29

22 Spread options Upper bound The counter-monotonic upper bound: with [ ] [ ] C X l [K] = C X1 F 1 X 1 (F X l (K)) + P X2 F 1 X 2 (1 F X l (K)), F 1 X 1 (F X l (K)) F 1 X 2 (1 F X l (K)) = K. Proof: See Dhaene et al. (2000). Hanbali, Linders and Dhaene Amsterdam 21 September / 29

23 Spread options Lower bound Consider the function g(p) = F 1 X 1 (p) F 1 X 2 (p) and let p K and p K 1, pk 2,..., pk n 1 be n solutions of g(p) = K. The comonotonic lower bound: C X c [K] = max {S 1 (K), S 2 (K)}, where [ S 1 (K) = C X1 F 1 ( X 1 p K )] [ C X2 F 1 ( X 2 p K )] B n [ S 2 (K) = P X2 F 1 ( X 2 p K )] [ P X1 F 1 ( X 1 p K )] + B n, and n 1 ( [ B n = ( 1) i+1 C X1 t, F 1 ( ) ] [ X 1 p K i C X2 t, F 1 ( ) ]) X 2 p K i. i=1 Hanbali, Linders and Dhaene Amsterdam 21 September / 29

25 Longevity trend bounds An upper bound is given by: K + (α, ε) = B ε α ( (ε α)e r(t t) C IEW [ F 1 I EW (F I l (ε)) A lower bound is given by: K (α, ε) = B ε α ( (ε α)e r(t t) + C IEW [ F 1 I EW (F I l (α)) ] P IUS [ ( max {S 1 (α), S 2 (α)} F 1 I US (1 F I l (ε))] )). ( max {S 1 (ε), S 2 (ε)} ] P IUS [ F 1 I US (1 F I l (α))] )). Hanbali, Linders and Dhaene Amsterdam 21 September / 29

26 Longevity trend bounds The bounds K + (α, ε) and K (α, ε) cannot be reached. Question: Can we derive sharp bounds for longevity trend bonds from their comonotonic and counter-monotonic transforms? Hanbali, Linders and Dhaene Amsterdam 21 September / 29

27 Longevity trend bounds Expected payoff as a function of the Kendall tau Figure: Expected value of the payoff as a function of the Kendall tau. Hanbali, Linders and Dhaene Amsterdam 21 September / 29

28 Longevity trend upper bound The comonotonic expected value is a sharp upper bound: [ ( { ( I K c c ) })] (T ) α (α, ε) = E B 1 max min ε α, 1, 0. Expression in terms of country-specific derivatives: ( ( K c B { (α, ε) = ε α max C (1) I [α], C (2) ε α c I c { max C (1) I [ε], C (2) c I [ε]} )). c } [α] Hanbali, Linders and Dhaene Amsterdam 21 September / 29

29 Longevity trend lower bound Sub-replicating strategy for the intrinsic value The counter-monotonic expected value is a sharp lower bound: [ ( { ( I K l l ) })] (T ) α (α, ε) = E B 1 max min ε α, 1, 0. Expression in terms of country-specific derivatives: ( K l B (α, ε) = ε α ε α [ ] [ (C IEW F 1 I EW (F I l (α)) C IEW [ ] [ + P IUS F 1 I US (1 F I l (ε)) P IUS ] I EW (F I l (ε)) F 1 F 1 I US (1 F I l (α))] )). Hanbali, Linders and Dhaene Amsterdam 21 September / 29

30 Illustration of the strikes Hanbali, Linders and Dhaene Amsterdam 21 September / 29

31 Conclusions Focus on longevity (trend) bonds. Highlight the inconsistencies between multi-population projections in the analysis of the payoff. Propose a safeguard against multi-population model risk, based on: the well-developped single-population models, or observed country-specific derivative prices.
