12 Introduction There are a large number of potential stochastic models for equity returns. Regulators normally do not restrict the use of any model that reasonably fits the historical data. Reasonable = pass a calibration test The emphasis of the calibration process remains at the tails of the equity return distribution (percentiles) over different holding periods (1-5- and 10-year periods). Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 6/36
13 Stochastic Models for Equity Returns In this talk, we shall provide a brief review of some commonly used (in actuarial practice) stochastic investment return models: Independent Log-Normal models (ILN) Regime-Switching Log-Normal models (RSLN) Others: Independent Log-Stable models (ILS) Box-Jenkins ARIMA models ARCH-type models Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 7/36
14 Log-Normal Models The log-normal model has a long and illustrious history, and has become the workhorse of the financial asset pricing literature (Campbell et al., 1997, p.16). Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 8/36
15 Log-Normal Models The log-normal model has a long and illustrious history, and has become the workhorse of the financial asset pricing literature (Campbell et al., 1997, p.16). Let Y t = log(p t ) log(p t 1 ) where P t is the end-of-period stock price (or market index), with dividends reinvested. Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 8/36
16 Log-Normal Models The log-normal model has a long and illustrious history, and has become the workhorse of the financial asset pricing literature (Campbell et al., 1997, p.16). Let Y t = log(p t ) log(p t 1 ) where P t is the end-of-period stock price (or market index), with dividends reinvested. The log-normal model assumes that log returns Y t are independently and identically distributed (IID) normal with mean µ and variance σ 2. Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 8/36
17 Log-Normal Models The independent lognormal (ILN) model is simple, scalable and tractable. Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 9/36
18 Log-Normal Models The independent lognormal (ILN) model is simple, scalable and tractable. But as attractive as the lognormal model is, it is not consistent with all properties of historical equity returns. Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 9/36
19 Log-Normal Models The independent lognormal (ILN) model is simple, scalable and tractable. But as attractive as the lognormal model is, it is not consistent with all properties of historical equity returns. At short horizons, observed returns often have negative skewness and strong evidence of excess kurtosis with time varying volatility. Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 9/36
20 RSLN Models The RSLN (Regime-Switching Log-Normal) model is defined as Y t = µ St + σ St ε t where S t = 1, 2,..., k denotes the unobservable state indicator which follows an ergodic k-state Markov process and ε t is a standard normal random variable which is IID over time. P r{s t+1 = j S t = i} = p ij, 0 p ij 1, & k p ij = 1 for all i. j=1 Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 10/36
21 RSLN Models The RSLN (Regime-Switching Log-Normal) model is defined as Y t = µ St + σ St ε t where S t = 1, 2,..., k denotes the unobservable state indicator which follows an ergodic k-state Markov process and ε t is a standard normal random variable which is IID over time. The stochastic transition probabilities that determine the evolution in S t (so that the states follow a homogenous Markov chain) is given by P r{s t+1 = j S t = i} = p ij, 0 p ij 1, & k p ij = 1 for all i. j=1 Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 10/36
22 RSLN Models In most situations, k = 2 or 3 (that is two- or three-regime models) is sufficient for modelling monthly equity returns (Hardy, NAAJ, 2001) Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 11/36

24 RSLN Models In most situations, k = 2 or 3 (that is two- or three-regime models) is sufficient for modelling monthly equity returns (Hardy, NAAJ, 2001) The use of RSLN processes for modelling maturity guarantees has been gaining popularity Both the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA) and the American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) used a two-regime RSLN model for developing the calibration test Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 11/36
25 RSLN Models A simple two-regime RSLN model: Y t = ε (1) t N(µ 1, σ 2 1), ε (2) with transition probability matrix P = t N(µ 2, σ 2 2), p 11 p 12, 0 < p ij < 1. (1) p 21 p 22 This implies that the vector of steady-state (ergodic) probabilities is π 1 = π 2 p 21 p 12 +p 21 p 12 p 12 +p 21.

26 Log-Stable Models Stable distributions are a class of probability laws that are able to accommodate heavy tails and skewness, which are frequently seen in investment data Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 13/36
27 Log-Stable Models Stable distributions are a class of probability laws that are able to accommodate heavy tails and skewness, which are frequently seen in investment data A random variable Y t is S0(α, β, γ, δ), if its characteristic function takes the form: Ψ(t) = E[exp(itY )] [ ( exp ( γ α t α 1 + iβsign(t) = ( [ ( exp γ t 1 + iβsign(t) 2 π tan πα 2 )( )] ) γt 1 α 1 + iδt, α 1, )( )] ) ln(γ t ) + iδt, α = 1. Some Simple Stochastic Models for Analyzing Investment Guarantees p. 13/36
28 Log-Stable Models Stable distributions are a class of probability laws that are able to accommodate heavy tails and skewness, which are frequently seen in investment data A random variable Y t is S0(α, β, γ, δ), if its characteristic function takes the form: Ψ(t) = E[exp(itY )] [ ( exp ( γ α t α 1 + iβsign(t) = ( [ ( exp γ t 1 + iβsign(t) 2 π tan πα 2 )( )] ) γt 1 α 1 + iδt, α 1, )( )] ) ln(γ t ) + iδt, α = 1. It should be noted that Gaussian distributions are special cases of stable laws with α = 2 and β = 0; more precisely, N(µ, σ 2 ) = S0(2, 0, σ/ 2, µ).
