2 Opton Prcng Wthout Tears: Valung Equty-Lnked Death Benefts Elas S. W. Shu Department of Statstcs & Actuaral Scence The Unversty of Iowa U.S.A. Jont work wth Hans U. Gerber & Halang Yang

3 Let T denote the tme-untl-death random varable for a lfe aged. Let S(t) be the tme-t prce of a stock or mutual fund. Consder death benefts that depend on the value of S(T ),.e., consder b(s(t )) for some functon b(.). Eamples: b(s) = Ma(s, K) b(s) = (s K) + Problem: Evaluate δ T E[e b(s(t ))] where the epectaton s taken wth respect to an approprate probablty dstrbuton and δ s a contnuously compounded nterest rate.

4 δt E[e b(s(t ))] = δt E[ E[ e b(s(t )) T ]] = 0 0 δt f T s ndependent of {S(t)}. E[ e b(s(t)) T =t] f (t) dt δt = E[ e b(s(t)) ] f T (t) dt T

5 So we want to calculate If then 0 f T (t) = c f τ (t), 0 δt E[e b(s(t))]f (t)dt. δt c 0 E[e b(s(t))]f (t)dt δt = E[e b(s(t))]f (t)dt = E[e b ) δτ T T c (S( τ ) ]. τ

6 The tme-untl-death densty functon can be appromated by lnear combnatons of eponental densty functons λ f T (t) c f τ (t) = c e. Thus, our valuaton problem becomes fndng E[e δτ b(s(τ))], where τ s an eponental random varable ndependent of {S(t)}. It turns out to be an elementary calculus eercse for geometrc Brownan moton {S(t)}. λ t

7 Let S(t) = S(0)e µt + σz(t), t 0, where {Z(t)} s a standard Brownan moton. Let τ be an ndependent eponental random varable wth mean /λ. Then, E[e δτ b(s(τ), Ma{S(t); 0 t τ})] m 2λ m α ( β α)m = 2 b( S(0)e, S(0)e ) e d e dm σ 0 where α < 0 and β > 0 are the solutons of ½σ µ (λ + δ) = 0.

8 E[e δτ b(s(τ), Ma{S(t); 0 t τ})] = m 2λ m α ( β α)m b( S(0)e, S(0)e ) e d e dm. 2 σ 0 Eamples: b(s, u) = (s K) + b(s, u) = (K s) + b(s, u) = u call opton put opton hgh water mark payoff

9 Barrer Optons Assume S(0) < B, a barrer. b(s, u) = I(u < B) π(s) Up-and-out opton b(s, u) = I(u B) π(s) Up-and-n opton Useful for ncorporatng lapses or surrenders.

10 Assume S(t) = S(0)e X(t), t 0, where N (t) N (t) X(t) =µ t +σ Z(t) + J K m ν ω = k = v f () = A v e, > 0 J = n f () B w e, 0 K m = w = > A =, B = n = = k

11 S(t) = S(0)e X(t), t 0 Runnng mamum M(t) := Ma{X(u); 0 u t} Runnng mnmum m(t) := Mn{X(u); 0 u t} Because {X(u)} s a Levy process, () M(τ) and [X(τ) M(τ)] are ndependent random varables, () [X(τ) Μ(τ)] has the same dstrbuton as m(τ). () s hard to prove; () s easy.

12 In fact, () s true for each fed t. X(t) M(t) = X(t) Ma{X(s); 0 s t} = X(t) + Mn{ X(s); 0 s t} = Mn{X(t) X(s); 0 s t} = Mn{X(t s); 0 s t} n dstrbuton = Mn{X(s); 0 s t} = m(t)

13 Runnng mamum M(t) := Ma{X(u); 0 u t} Runnng mnmum m(t) := Mn{X(u); 0 u t} () M(τ) and [X(τ) M(τ)] are ndependent r.v. s. () [X(τ) M(τ)] and m(τ) have the same dstrbuton. Then, E[e zx(τ) ] = E[e z[x(τ) Μ(τ)+M(τ)] ] = E[e z[x(τ) M(τ)] ] E[e zm(τ) ] = E[e zm(τ) ] E[e zm(τ) ], whch s a verson of Wener-Hopf factorzaton.

14 Assume where N (t) N (t) X(t) =µ t +σ Z(t) + J K m = k = f () = A v e, > 0 J = f () = B w e, > 0 Then, E[e zx(t) ] = e tψ(z) for each t 0, wth n K = m ν v w 2 2 z z (z) =µ z + ½σ z +ν A ω B v z w + z ω = = n k

15 can be etended by analytc contnuaton. The moment-generatng functon of X(τ) s E[e zx(τ) ] = E[E[e zx(τ) τ]] m 2 2 z z (z) =µ z + ½σ z +ν A ω B v z w + z = = n = E[e Ψ(z)τ ] λ = λ Ψ (z). The zeros of the RHS are the poles of Ψ(z). The poles of the RHS are the zeros of λ Ψ(z).

16 Label the parameters (the poles of Ψ(z)) such that v < v 2 < < v m w < w 2 < < w n If the weghts A s and B s are postve, then <α n+ < w n <...< w <α <0<β < v <...<v m <β m+ <

For z > 0, 0 < E[e zm(τ) ]. No postve zeros or poles. For z < 0, 0 < E[e zm(τ) ]. No negatve zeros or poles.
