1 Investment Symposium March 2010 F1: What Are We Hedging Anyway? GAAP, Stat, or Economics? Ross Bowen James Lloyd Moderator Jay Musselman
2 F1 What Are We Hedging Anyway? GAAP, Stat, or Economic? Ross Bowen, Allianz Life March 22, 2010 Hedging VA Risk Most hedging programs started out hedging GAAP risk Implementation of C3P2 and AG43 have created a disconnect with GAAP or pure economics FAS 157 disconnected GAAP and Economic Multiple constraints and objectives create the need for an interdisciplinary team to approach the problem 1
3 Economic Economic measures look for sensitivities to the value of promises made Define the value Present value of claims less fees Risk neutral framework Key sensitivities Change in market levels Change in rates Change in volatilities Need a robust scenario generator Match observable prices and greeks GAAP Most similar to economic what are the differences? Treatment of fees Some companies set the value of the embedded derivative to zero at issue apply a factor to the fees so PV = 0 Not all VAGLBs are FAS 133 SOP 03-1 applied to GMIB GMAB clearly FAS 133 GMWB may be a hybrid Gain on hedges impacts k factor 2
4 GAAP FAS 157 FAS 157 Own Credit Risk Objections value of promise declines as probability of paying declines Release reserves when downgraded? How to determine own credit risk spread? CDS market offers view into credit risk Large writers may have active CDS market To hedge or not to hedge? Sell CDS on self? Sell CDS on similar writers? What is the goal of hedging? Statutory Moving from a factor based world to a Principles Based world AG33 Base Contract AG34 - DB AG39 Living Benefits, accumulation of fees There was a need to modernize AG39 C3P2 came first, then AG43 / VACARVM Real world stochastic Model hedges in a stochastic on stochastic framework Standard scenario comparable values between companies 3
5 AG43 Hedge Modeling - Stochastic Stochastic scenarios CTE70 worst 30% Possibility that hedges will cost rather than benefit Existing hedges may be run off If CDHS in place, may reflect hedging strategy CTE Reported = E * CTE Best Efforts (1-E) * CTE Adjusted E < 70% or < 30% if hedges not directly modeled Basis risk, transaction risk, hedging mismatch tolerance C3P2 Hedge Efficiency Stochastic scenarios CTE90 worst 10% - more likely that hedges will benefit Existing hedges may be run off If CDHS in place, may reflect hedging strategy CTE Reported = TAR Best Efforts E * (TAR adj TAR best efforts) Adjusted E >5% Basis risk, transaction risk, hedging mismatch tolerance 4
6 Value of Hedges AG43 SS PV of pre-tax cashflows at the one-year CMT rate less statement value Must be held to hedge these contracts in compliance with state laws Assume hedges are liquidated in one year or exercised if mature prior Assume returns underlying SS, Black Scholes pricing, rate of fiveyear CMT, and solved-for implied volatility Evaluation of Hedge Instruments Review the differences between stat, GAAP, and economic Evaluate hedge performance in the various regimes Choices Futures Puts Swaps Swaptions Calls 5
7 Evaluation of Hedge Instruments Futures Linear in the market Can be written on different indices Very effective on standard scenario 13.5% / 20% of notional Unlimited losses possible in up market Evaluation of Hedge Instruments Futures Futures Performance in AG43 50,000,000 40,000,000 30,000,000 Gain / Loss 20,000,000 10,000,000 - (10,000,000) (20,000,000) (30,000,000) ) (40,000,000) mkt gain Hedge Credit Capital Impact S&P Level 6
8 Evaluation of Hedge Instruments Puts Provide delta protection in Statutory world Vega and rho protection in Economic world Can be very expensive Out of the money attractive (crash protection) Sell a deeper OTM to offset cost Can also fund by selling upside OTM call Sell deeper OTM call to limit losses Puts Zero Cost Collar Economic payoff Payoff profile
9 Zero Cost Collar - Impact Change in value of options as time passes and market levels change Hedge Value $millions Hedge Value S&P Level Zero Cost Collar - Impact Additional value of hedge credit under AG43 standard scenario Hedge Value plus Hedge Credit $millions Hedge Value Value After Credit S&P Level 8
10 Principle 5 The use of risk management strategies (e.g. hedging) that serve solely to reduce the calculated TAR are inconsistent with these principles. The use of assumptions and risk management strategies should be appropriate to the business and not merely constructed to exploit foreknowledge of the components of the required methodology. Summary Economic, stat, GAAP All behavior differently under market shocks Interdisciplinary project Need input from many financial areas 9

18 Analysis - C3P2 vs. Real World Stochastic scenarios for C3P2 use volatility parameters (about 16% for Large Caps) which are much lower than the implied volatility (about 28.5% SPX), and drift parameters (about 8% Large Caps) which are much higher the 10Y Swap Rate (about 3.95%). Discount rates are correlated to market ( 10Y Treasury rate +0.50%) As a consequences the sensitivity to market level l and Interest t Rate is different the one you find using market parameters. Risk Neutral Interest rate sensitivity - Rho Interest rate sensitivity of the liability is smaller under C3P2 framework than in real world. Consequently, a company willing to hedge its economic risks will suffer from inefficiency For a block 20% ITM: Rho under C3P2-0.31% per 10 bps move of the curve Rho under Real world parameters -0.63% per 10 bps move of the curve A block properly hedge with IR swap, will suffer if IR goes up. The loss on the hedge will be twice the gain on the C3P2 amount. C3P2 Market Delta Rho Delta Rho 120% 9% ( 0.59) 3.37% ( 0.18) 100% -8% ( 0.58) % ( 0.21) 80% -27% ( 0.63) % ( 0.31) 60% -35% ( 0.76) % ( 0.44) 15 Solution Cell Based Hedge Insurance Liabilities are modeled By cells (representing a group of individual with similar characteristics) Assuming statistical behavior based on mortality table and lapse functions, With the Account value of each cell being represented by a proxy index Cell Based Hedges are long term hedges which perfectly match liability model With respect to reserves and capital: The Hedge will be considered das an Approved Hedge: Consequently, the hedge would stabilize the CTE90 value and SSA. This would lock the difference of price of liabilities using the market parameters and the real world parameters and may have an adverse impact when benefits are ITM If classified as approved hedge, then 100% VACARVM effectiveness for reserve computation (less tracking error) If classified as approved hedge, cashflows are incorporated and 100% of the hedge cashflow will be taken into account when computing capital 16 8
19 New Hybrids Hybrid option appropriate for GMIB hedging PAYOFF 1: MAX (Strike - Leverage * USSW10 spot - SPX Yield, 0.0) where leverage is a fixed value which determines your rate sensitivity PAYOFF 2: Hybrid swaption with a swaption strike which depends on Equity. Both of them have the same background. The put allows the hedger to choose the notional of the cashflows to pay and the rate part, as multiplier, takes part of the rate sensitivity - due to the discount of all the cashflows. The two structures are made for two different purposes with different convexities for each. Hybrid option appropriate for GMWB hedging PAYOFF 3: leverage on rate * put. [Payoff is: MAX( Strike - SPX Yield,0.0) * Leverage] where leverage is for example: 0 if USSW10 is above 5% 1 if USSW10 is below 3%a linear interpolation, Otherwise, formula is: [1 - (USSW10-3%)/2%] This is a medium term product - created to buy correlation. It allows a hedger to buy a significant amount of sensitivity to correlation plus get access to some cross Greeks. However, it does not match maturity of the liabilities. It does not provide a good Equity hedge or Interest rate hedge. It allows the hedger to mainly realize P&L when correlation increases. PAYOFF4: Put * Discount factor. Payoff is: [MAX(Strike - SPX Yield,0.0) * 1/(1+USSW10)^5] This last product should be viewed more from a cash flow perspective. It's intended to hedge the cashflows - not the Greeks sensitivities (IR equity correlation sensitivity is small). Maturity is a good feature because the hedger buys some equity & interest rate volatility and avoids buying correlation, which, today, is may be viewed as expensive. It may represent a significant portion of any hedging strategy. 17 Conclusion Hedge Economic Liabilities Uncertainty and Recovery combine to tilt the tables in favor of 100% hedge With Capital and Letters of Credit at a premium Variance-based fees minimize the increase of reserves customarily caused by vega hedging RBC ratios have dropped from an average of 380 in 2007 to 285 today (even after $1.2TR) Cost of capital in recent equity and debt offers have risen from 8% to as much as 16% today AG43 has pitched some insurers into SSA sensitivity Hedges or reinsurance now has to cover both tails Rates Down : Equity Down Greatest Reserve Hit Rates up (lapse up) : Equity UP Greatest Lapse Hit Over-hedging/Gamma hedging AG43 opens up the opportunity to treat Reinsurance as Approved Hedge To be included in liability simulations To be included in SSA as an asset that is liquidated down 13.5% Dynamic Hedging is punished under AG
