讲座主要内容

We propose a new risk-sharing pricing approach of variable annuities within a principal-agent framework where an insurer (principal) is the contract provider and a policyholder (agent) is the follower having the surrender option. While the risk-neutral pricing approach adopted in the existing literature leads to significantly higher fees and more frequent surrendering than market observations, this new risk-sharing pricing approach reconciles the misalignment between theoretical results and market observations. We also find that a lower insurance fee can make the insurer's expected profit more robust.
