英文摘要:
In this paper we consider the pricing of variable annuities (VAs) with guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits. We consider two pricing approaches, the classical risk-neutral approach and the benchmark approach, and we examine the associated static and optimal behaviors of both the investor and insurer. The first model considered is the so-called minimal market model, where pricing is achieved using the benchmark approach. The benchmark approach was introduced by Platen in 2001 and has received wide acceptance in the finance community. Under this approach, valuing an asset involves determining the minimum-valued replicating portfolio, with reference to the growth optimal portfolio under the real-world probability measure, and it both subsumes classical risk-neutral pricing as a particular case and extends it to situations where risk-neutral pricing is impossible. The second model is the Black-Scholes model for the equity index, where the pricing of contracts is performed within the risk-neutral framework. Crucially, we demonstrate that when the insurer prices and reserves using the Black-Scholes model, while the insured employs a dynamic withdrawal strategy based on the minimal market model, the insurer may be underestimating the value and associated reserves of the contract.

中文摘要:
在本文中,我们考虑了具有保证最小提取收益的可变年金(VAs)的定价问题。我们考虑了两种定价方法,经典的风险中性方法和基准方法,并研究了投资者和保险公司的相关静态和最优行为。考虑的第一个模型是所谓的最小市场模型,其中定价是使用基准方法实现的。该基准方法于2001年由Platen引入,并在金融界得到广泛接受。在这种方法下,资产估值涉及到参考现实世界概率测度下的增长最优投资组合来确定最小值复制投资组合,它既将经典的风险中性定价包含为一种特殊情况,又将其扩展到不可能进行风险中性定价的情况。第二个模型是股票指数的Black-Scholes模型,其中合同的定价在风险中性框架内进行。重要的是,我们证明,当保险人使用Black-Scholes模型定价和准备金时,而被保险人使用基于最小市场模型的动态退出策略时,保险人可能低估了合同的价值和相关准备金。
