4 Page 4 Risk analysis of annuity conversion options in a stochastic mortality environment August 3, 2012 Katja Schilling Introduction Unit-linked deferred annuities Premiums are accumulated in a fund At retirement, the policyholder has the choice between account value as a lump sum converting the account value into an annuity at then prevailing rates Resulting annuity payment highly depends on fund value interest rate expectations mortality expectations
5 Page 4 Risk analysis of annuity conversion options in a stochastic mortality environment August 3, 2012 Katja Schilling Introduction Unit-linked deferred annuities Premiums are accumulated in a fund At retirement, the policyholder has the choice between account value as a lump sum converting the account value into an annuity at then prevailing rates Resulting annuity payment highly depends on fund value interest rate expectations mortality expectations Annuity conversion options Insurance companies add guarantees to pure unit-linked deferred annuities, e.g. Guaranteed annuity options (GAOs) Guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIBs) Such options can become unexpectedly valuable (cf. UK)

(2010) Pricing GAOs under stochastic mortality: e.g. Milevsky and Promislow (2004), Biffis and Millossovich (2006), Ballotta and Haberman (2006) Pricing GMIBs: e.g. Bauer et al. (2008), Marshall et al. (2010), Bacinello et al. (2011)

(2010) Pricing GAOs under stochastic mortality: e.g. Milevsky and Promislow (2004), Biffis and Millossovich (2006), Ballotta and Haberman (2006) Pricing GMIBs: e.g. Bauer et al. (2008), Marshall et al. (2010), Bacinello et al. (2011) Research objectives (1) What risk do annuity conversion options imply for the insurer? (2) How does the risk change with different option types? (3) Is it possible to reduce the risk by applying risk management strategies? (4) What risk (fund, interest rate or mortality risk) dominates the total risk?

14 Page 12 Risk analysis of annuity conversion options in a stochastic mortality environment August 3, 2012 Katja Schilling Model framework We analyze the insurer s loss distribution at time T for each combination of option type and risk management strategy by performing a Monte Carlo simulation Modeled risk processes Fund value: Geometric Brownian motion ds(t) = (λ S + r(t))s(t)dt + σ S S(t)dW S (t), S(0) > 0. Short rate: one-factor Cox-Ingersoll-Ross model dr(t) = κ(θ r(t))dt + σ r r(t)dw r (t), r(0) > 0. Mortality: 6-factor forward model (cf. Bauer et al., 2008a) dµ(t, T, x) = α(t, T, x)dt + σ(t, T, x)dw µ (t), µ(0, T, x) > 0.
