Variance and interest rate risk in unit-linked insurance policies
2020
One of the risks derived from selling long term policies that any insurance company has, arises from interest rates. In this paper we consider a general class of stochastic volatility models written in forward variance form. We also deal with stochastic interest rates to obtain the risk-free price for unit-linked life insurance contracts, as well as providing a perfect hedging strategy by completing the market. We conclude with a simulation experiment, where we price unit-linked policies using Norwegian mortality rates. In addition we compare prices for the classical Black-Scholes model against the Heston stochastic volatility model with a Vasicek interest rate model.
