Bounds on Prices • Consider a financial claim at time T with cdf F . • Denote by XT? the cheapest strategy with cdf F and by ZT?
the most expensive strategy with cdf F , ⇒ Cost(claim)∈ c(XT? ), c(ZT? ) How to use these bounds for insurance claims? 1
Let CT be a random non-negative insurance payoff (not traded) with distribution F .
2
Under some conditions, it also follows that Price(CT ) > c(XT? ). but in general there is no upper bound (independent of the preferences).

Conclusions
Assumptions on Preferences Denote by XT the final wealth of the investor and V (XT ) the objective function of the agent. 1
Market participants all have a fixed investment horizon T > 0 and there is no intermediate consumption (one-period model).
2
Agents’ preferences depend only on the probability distribution of terminal wealth: “law-invariant” preferences. (if XT ∼ ZT then: V (XT ) = V (ZT ).)
3
Agents prefer “more to less”: if c is a non-negative random variable V (XT + c) > V (XT ).
4
Agents are risk-averse: E[XT ] = E[YT ] ∀d ∈ R, E[(XT − d)+ ] ≤ E[(YT − d)+ ]

⇒ V (XT ) > V (YT )

Comments
• Hence when the claim CT and the state-price ξT are negatively correlated we find that e −rT .E[CT ] is no longer a lower bound for p b and p a which contrasts with traditional bound stated in many actuarial textbooks on insurance pricing. • Finally, remark that the inequality essentially states that both the insured and the insurer are prepared to agree on a price for the insurance payoff CT which is larger than the price “as if CT would be a financial payoff”.

Conclusions
Comments (Cont’d): 3 cases: • CT is independent of the market,
p • ≥ e −rT .E[CT ]. • CT is positively correlated with the state-price process,
the classical lower bound e −rT E[CT ] is now strictly improved. p • ≥ e −rT .E[CT ] + Cov [CT , ξT ] > e −rT .E[CT ]. • CT is negatively correlated with the state-price process,
the lower bound is smaller p • ≥ e −rT .E[CT ] + Cov [CT , ξT ]. The best lower bound for equity-linked insurance benefits will generally be lower than e −rT E[CT ] because Cov (ST , ξT ) = E[ST ξT ] − E[ST ]E[ξT ] = e −rT (EQ [ST ] − E[ST ]), Carole Bernard

Computation of k1 : Pathwise Optimization We maximize pathwise. Let ω ∈ Ω, then define φ(x) = pu x − (K − ST (ω))+ + (1 − p)u (x) − λξT (ω)x It is obvious that φ00 6 0 and therefore that φ is concave and attains its maximum at x ∗ defined by φ0 (x ∗ ) = 0. For λ > 0 and for each ω ∈ Ω, define XT∗ (λ, ω) = x ∗ . If there exists λ such that E[ξT XT∗ (λ)] = z then XT∗ (λ) is an optimal solution and k1 (z) = E[u XT∗ − (K − ST )+ 1τ >T ].
