2 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 2/53 Discrete whole life annuity-due Consider a whole life annuity that pays 1 at the beginning of each year that the person age x survives. This is refereed to as the life annuity due. Then, for a n 1 + v + + v n 1 1 vn 1 v, we have that, Z.ȧ K+1. In our previous notations, we can think of b (1, 1,.,1) and v (1,v,.,v k ) Z b v 1 + v + + v K.ȧ K+1.

3 Figure 1: Annuity due for a person age x that dies between ages x + 5 and x + 6 The actuarial expected present value is then a x E[Z] E[.ȧ K+1 ] a k+1 P(K k) a k+1 kp x q x+k. Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 3/53

4 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 4/53 The just derived expression is not convenient. It can be shown that a x v k kp x. Indeed: a x a k+1 kp x q x+k k v i P(K k) i0 ( ) P(K k) v i i0 ki P(K > i 1)v i i0 P(K i)v i i0 ip x v i. i0

5 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 5/53 By summation by parts, i.e., by n f(k) g(k) [f(k)g(k)] n+1 m km where we obtain: k q x a k+1 leading to n km f(x) f(x + 1) f(x), g(k + 1) f(k). ( k p x k+1 p x ).ȧ k+1 ( k+1 p x k p x ).ȧ k+1, g(k) k p x and f(k).ȧ k+1.

6 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 6/53 Now, we can rewrite a x a k+1 kp x q x+k (.ȧ 0 ( 1)) + noticing that k+1p x v k+1, g(k + 1) k+1 p x and f(k).ȧ k+1 vk+1. In view of the above, the following recursion holds: a x 1 + k+1p x v k vp x kp x+1 v k 1 + vp x a x+1. The initial value for the recursion is.ȧ 0.

7 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 7/53 The variance for the whole life annuity is [ 1 v K+1] Var[Z] Var Var[vK+1 ] 1 v (1 v) 2 E[v2(K+1) ] E 2 [v K+1 ] (1 v) 2 In a similar manner, [ 1 v K+1] a x E 1 v 2 A x (A x ) 2 (1 v) 2. 1 A x d.ȧ.ȧ A x.

8 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 8/53 Discrete n year term life annuity-due The present value rv of an n year term temporary life annuity due of 1 per year is {.ȧk+1, 0 K < n Z. a n, K n The expected actuarial present value is then a x:n It can be shown that: n 1 a k+1 kp x q x+k +.ȧ n np x. a x:n n 1 v k kp x.

9 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 9/53 Indeed, a x:n n 1 n 1 k v i k q x + i0 n 1 i0 ki n 1 i0 n 1 i0 v i k q x + n 1 i0 n 1 i0 v i np x v i np x ( n 1 ) v i k q x + n p x ki ip x v i.

10 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 10/53 We can again be interested in the following recursion n 1 i0 ip x v i 1 + n 1 i1 n vp x ip x v i 1 + i0 n 2 i0 i+1p x v i+1 ip x+1 v i 1 + vp x a x+1:n 1, where the initial value is.ȧ x+n:0 0. The variance can be found using the fact that a x:n 1 E[Z ] 1 v 1 A x:n 1 v, where Z is the present value rv of an endowment n years insurance.

11 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 11/53 n year deferred whole life annuity-due Then Var[Z] Var[Z ] 2 (1 v) 2 A x:n (A x:n ) 2 (1 v) 2. The n year deferred whole life annuity-due of 1 payable at the beginning of each year while (x) survives from age x + n onward is described by the following rv { 0, 0 K < n Z a K+1 n, K n. n The actuarial expected present value is then n a x.ȧ x.ȧ n 1 x:n kp x v k v k kp x kn v k kp x

12 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 12/53 n year certain and life annuity-due Show that Var[Z] 1 ( d v2n np x 2 a x+n (1 + v) 2.ȧ ) x+n (n a x ) 2. The n year certain and life annuity-due pays guaranteed payments for at least n years and changes to the regular life annuity-due thereafter. Thus, the present value rv is {.ȧn, 0 K < n Z a K+1, K n. The expected present value rv is a x:n E[Z] n 1 a n P(K k) + kn a k+1 P(K k)

13 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 13/53 Hence, a x:n.ȧ np(k n 1) +.ȧ n nq x + kn kn a k+1 k q x. Show by summation by parts that a x:n.ȧ n + v k kp x. kn a k+1 P(K k)

14 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 14/53 Whole life annuity-immediate This life annuity is similar to the whole life annuity-due but this one is payable at the end of the payments periods. The present value rv is Z a K. The actuarial expected present value is given by a x E[Z] Also, as far as a k kp x q x+k i1 k1 v i kp x q x+k ki k v i kp x q x+k i1 v i ip x. i1 a k 1 vk i 1 (1 + i)vk+1 i,

15 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 15/53 Continuously payable annuities which leads to a x E [ 1 (1 + i)v K+1] i 1 (1 + i)a x i. The actuarial present value for a continuous whole life annuity is denoted by a x. The price of this annuity is then: a x E[Z] 0 a t tp x µ(x + t)dt, which after using integration by parts for u a t, dv t p x µ(x + t)dt, v t p x and du v t dt, we have that a x a t t p x v t tp x dt 0 v t tp x dt 0 te x dt.

16 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 16/53 Whole life continuous annuity The following recursion is easily obtained: a x 1 0 v t tp x dt + a x:1 + vp x 0 1 v t tp x dt v t tp x+1 dt a x:1 + vp x a x+1, a 0. We know that for every t a t 1 vt 1 δa δ t + v t. This is true for the rv T as well, thus a T 1 vt δ 1 δa T + v T 1 δa x + A x.

17 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 17/53 The variance is easily calculated as [ 1 v T ] [ v T ] Var[Z] Var Var δ δ 2 A x A 2 x δ 2 Example 1 Calculate the pdf and the cdf of Z. ( 1 v T ) ( ) F Z (z) P(Z z) P z P 1 v T δz δ ( ) ( ) P v T 1 δz P e δt 1 δz ( ) log(1 δz) P ( δt log(1 δz)) P T δ ( ) log(1 δz) F T for z < 1/δ. δ

18 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 18/53 n-year life continuous annuity The pdf is then f Z (z) d dz F Z (z) d dz F T f T ( log(1 δz) δ ( ) log(1 δz) δ ) (1 δy) 1 for z < 1/δ. The present value rv of an n year term temporary life continuous annuity of 1 per year is { a Z T, 0 T < n a n, T n. The present value of Z is a x:n E[Z] n 0 a t tp x µ(x + t)dt + a n n p x.

19 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 19/53 Integration by parts gives a x:n n 0 e δt tp x dt. Note that { a Z T 1 vt δ, 0 T < n a n 1 vn δ, T n. Thus, for Z being the n-year term endowment insurance, and [ 1 Z ] E[Z] a x:n E δ Var[Z] Var[Z] δ 2 1 A x:n δ 2 A x:n A 2 x:n δ 2.

20 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 20/53 Deferred n year term continuous annuity Show at home that Var[Z] 2 δ (a x:n 2 a x:n ) a 2 x:n. We now consider the so called deferred n-year term annuity. The present value is { 0, 0 T < n Z n a T n a T a n, T n. We next show that Proof: Indeed n a x n a x n E x a x+n. n v n a t n tp x µ(x + t)dt,

21 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 21/53 Further, for s t n, we have that n a x 0 v n np x v n a s s+n p x µ(x + s + n)ds 0 n E x a x+n Also, certainly n a x a x a x:n a s s p x+n µ(x + s + n)ds n v t tp x dt Calculate the variance of this annuity. n te x dt.

22 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 22/53 n-year certain and life annuity Pays 1 unit each year for n years and becomes a usual life annuity thereafter. { a n, 0 T < n Z. a T, T n The actuarial present value is a x:n n 0 a n n q x + a n t p x µ(x + t)dt + Integration by parts would lead to n a x:n a n + n a t tp x µ(x + t)dt. n v t tp x dt. a t tp x µ(x + t)dt

23 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 23/53 We also have that a x:n a n + n a x a n + n E x a x+n a n + (a x a x:n ). Prove that the variance of the n-year certain and whole life annuity is equal to the variance of the n-year differed annuity. What is Var[a x:n ] Var[ n a x ]? Lastly, recall the so called accumulation function n n S n (1 + i) n t 0 dt vt dt v n. 0

24 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 24/53 Intuitively, we have that s x:n n 0 vt tp x dt v n np x a x:n ne x. The latter equation represents the actuarial accumulated value at the end of the term of an n-year temporary life annuity of 1 per year payable continuously while (x) survives. The benefit is available at age x + n if x survives till then. Example 2 Consider the timescale measured in intervals of length 1/m where a unit is a year. Let a whole life insurance for a unit amount be payable at the end of the m-thly interval in which death occurs. 1. What is the discount function for this insurance? What is the expected present value?

25 2. Show that A (m) x i i (m) A x. Solution 1. Let K 0, 1,., be the number of complete insurance years lived prior to death and let J 0, 1,.,m 1 be the number of complete m-ths of the year lived in the year of death. For a death occurring in the m-th of the year following age x + k + j/m and the benefit is payable at the end of the m-th period, we have that E[v K+(J+1)/m ] m 1 j0 m 1 j0 v k+(j+1)/m P(K k,j j) v k+(j+1)/m kp x j/m 1/m q x+k A (m) x. Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 25/53

26 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 26/53 2. Recall that under UDD, j/m 1/mq x+k (j+1)/m q x+k (j)/m q x+k UDD j + 1 m q x+k j m q x+k 1 m q x+k. A (m) x m 1 v k j0 m 1 v k+1 j0 v (j+1)/m kp x j/m 1/m q x+k v (j+1)/m 1 kp x 1 m q x+k m 1 v k+1 kp x q x+k (1 + i) 1 (j+1)/m 1 m j0

27 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 27/53 A (m) x v k+1 kp x q x+k (1 + i) v k+1 kp x q x+k (1 + i) m 1 j0 m 1 v (j+1)/m 1 m (v (1/m) ) j+1 1 m j0 v k+1 kp x q x+k (1 + i) 1 v(m 1+1)/m v1/m1 m 1 v 1/m v k+1 kp x q x+k (1 + i) 1 m v k+1 kp x q x+k (1 + i) 1 m 1 v v 1/m (1 v 1/m ) 1 v (1 + i) 1/m 1,

28 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 28/53 m-thly payable annuities which after recalling that i (m) m((1 + i) 1/m 1) becomes A (m) x v k+1 (1 v)(1 + i) kp x q x+k i (m) v k+1 kp x q x+k i i (m) i i (m)a x. We denote by.ȧ(m) x the actuarial present value of a life annuity of 1 per year payed in installments of 1/m at the beginning of each m-th of the year while (x) survives. Let J be the number of complete mths of a year lived in the year of death. Then a (m) x E[Z] E[.ȧ(m) K+(J+1)/m ],

29 where a (m) n mn 1 j0 Show at home that 1 m (v1/m ) j 1 v n m(1 (1 d) 1/m ) 1 vn d (m). a (m) x 1 A(m) x d (m). Another representation of the expected present value is The variance is Var[Z] Var a (m) x 1 m (v 1/m ) h h/mp x. h0 [ 1 v K+(j+1)/m d (m) ] 2 A (m) x (A (m) x ) 2 (d (m) ) 2 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 29/53

30 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 30/53 We know that for every t Thus a t 1 vt 1 v 1 d.ȧ t + v t. a T 1 vt 1 v 1 d.ȧ T + vt 1 d.ȧ x + A x. We then have the following relationship Moreover, 1 d.ȧ x + A x d (m).ȧ(m) x a (m) x d d (m) a x 1.ȧ(m) 1 a x.ȧ(m) d (m)(a(m) (A (m) + A (m) x. x A x ) x A x ).

31 If we assume that J is uniformly distributed on the integers 0, 1,.,m 1, then A (m) x i i (m)a x S (m) A 1 x, which thus leads to a (m) x.ȧ(m) 1 a x S(m) 1 1 d (m) A x d(m).ȧ(m) a 1 x A x (S (m) 1) 1 d (m) d.ȧ x (1 d.ȧ x)(s (m) 1 1) d (m) 1 S(m) (1 d.ȧ 1 x) d (m). Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 31/53

32 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 32/53 After all, we have that Thus: a (m) x a (m) x α(m) S (m) 1 S(m) d.ȧ 1 x (S (m) 1 S (m) 1 d (m) 1) 1 1 a x a (m) S(m) 1 d (m) α(m).ȧ x β(m), where a (m),β(m) S(m) d (m). Even simpler expression can be obtained if we assume that v k+j/m k+j/mp x is linear in j.

33 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 33/53 Proof Indeed, as the linearity in e.g. s (0, 1) implies we have that f(x + s) f(x)(1 s) + f(x + 1)s, m 1 j0 m 1 j0 1 m vk+j/m k+j/mp x 1 m (( 1 j )v kkp x + jm ) m vk+1k+1p x v k kp x (v k kp x v k+1 k+1p x ) v k kp x (v k kp x v k+1 k+1p x ) m 1 j0 j m 2 (m 1) 2m.

34 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 34/53 Thus, a (m) x 1 m (v 1/m ) h h/mp x h0 m 1 j0 v k kp x.ȧ x 1 m vk+j/m k+j/mp x (m 1) 2m. (m 1) 2m (v k kp x v k+1 k+1p x )

35 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 35/53 We can use the same techniques to developing formulas for deferred and n-year term mthly payable annuities. However, it seems easier to say that e.g., a (m) x:n.ȧ(m).ȧ(m) 1 ending up with x v n np x a (m) x+n.ȧ(m) x n E x a (m) x+n a x β(m)a x n E x (.ȧ(m) a x+n β(m)a x+n ) a (m) x:n.ȧ(m) 1 a x:n β(m)(a 1x:n ). 1 Alternatively, as a (m) x α(m).ȧ x β(m)

36 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 36/53 and we have that a (m) x+n α(m).ȧ x+n β(m), a (m) x:n α(m).ȧ x:n β(m)(1 n E x ).

37 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 37/53 Similarly, for a deferred life annuity, we have that n a (m) x thus yielding.ȧ(m) x.ȧ(m) 1 n a (m) x.ȧ(m) x:n a x β(m)a x.ȧ(m) a x:n + β(m)a 1x:n,.ȧ(m) 1 n Alternatively, prove at home, n a (m) 1 a x β(m) n A x. x α(m) n a x β(m) n E x.

38 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 38/53 m-thly payable immediate annuities We denote by a (m) x the actuarial present value of a life annuity of 1 per year payed in installments of 1/m at the end of each m-th of the year while (x) survives. Let J be the number of complete mths of a year lived in the year of death. Then a (m) x E[Z] E [ ] a (m) K+J/m E [ 1 v K+J/m i (m) ], Recall that a (m) n nm j1 1 m (v1/m ) j 1 vn i (m), i (m) m[(1 + i) 1/m 1].

39 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 39/53 We showed that [ 1 (1 + i)v K+1] a x E i Similarly, we obtain that 1 (1 + i)a x i. leading to a (m) x 1 (1 + i)1/m A (m) x i (m), 1 ia x + (1 + i)a x i (m) a (m) x + ( 1 + i(m) m ) A (m) x. Meaningful?

40 Edward Furman, Actuarial mathematics MATH3280 p. 40/53 We can also adjust the annuities due to obtain the necessary actuarial present values for the immediate annuities: a (m) x.ȧ(m) x 1/m since the only difference between the two is the payment at time 0. And why? a (m) x:n.ȧ(m) x:n 1/m + 1/m n E x,

Individual annuities issued at ages 20,50,80 with life incomes of 1,000 per year payable continuously. b. A group of 100 annuities, each issued at age 50, with life income of 1,000 per year payable continuously. Solution a.

If Y a T, 0 T, display the formula for the distribution function of Y. b. If Y { 0 0 T < n a T a n T n, display the formula for the distribution function of Y. Solution a. We have already shown that in general ( ) log(1 δy) F Y (y) F T for y 1/δ. δ Under the CFM assumption, T is exponential with µ, and thus F T (t) 1 e µt.

Note again that Y denotes the present value of a continuously payable deferred annuity. Thus Y has a positive probability in zero F Y (0) P(Y 0) P(0 T n) F T (n) CFM 1 e µn. As to the case y > 0, we will use the fact that Y a T a n vn v T, δ from which follows that the largest value Y can take is v n /δ.
