Financial Post, January 29, 2010
“When markets collapsed in September 2008, Manulife's net exposure of guarantees from segregated fund products was [Canadian] $ 72 billion ... The company's capital levels … sank because of the massive stock portfolio associated with the variable annuities”

In 2004, Manulife merged with John Hancock, creating the largest life insurer in Canada, the second largest in the USA, and the fifth largest in the world.

In 2004, Manulife merged with John Hancock, creating the largest life insurer in Canada, the second largest in the USA, and the fifth largest in the world.
In 2004, Manulife decided remove the hedging on the equity positions that it held in its variable annuity business. For several years, the decision boosted Manulife’s profits. Then …

“Much of the downturn in AXA's profit outlook comes from variable-annuities hedging. The costs of hedging the annuities – all from its U.S. business – ballooned from 64 million euros in the first half of the year to 123 million euros in the thirdquarter -- and as much as 450 million euros in the fourth quarter.”

“CIGNA Corporation, on September 3, 2002, announced that it would record an after-tax charge of $720 million to strengthen reserves relating to reinsurance contracts on variable annuity death-benefit guarantees.

Originally, CIGNA Corporation had only set aside $300 million against these policies and did not use capital markets to hedge the embedded options. In early September 2002, it realized, and then announced, that it had mis-estimated the risk and was forced to add the extra $720 million to its actuarial reserves” The Wall Street Journal, Sept. 5, 2002

The basic Variable Annuity product:
Allows policyholders to invest proceeds into a variety of investment funds.
Deposits grow on a tax-deferred basis.
![Page 30: Actuarial Approach to Pricing Exotic Options Elias S. W. Shiu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102703/56816793550346895ddcce39/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The basic Variable Annuity product:
Allows policyholders to invest proceeds into a variety of investment funds.
Deposits grow on a tax-deferred basis. There a 10% federal-tax penalty on withdrawals before age 59½. Withdrawals after 59½ are taxed as income (not capital gains).
Monthly asset management, expense, and risk charges are deducted by the insurer, usually as a (fixed) % of the prevailing account balance.
Sold mostly to ages 50+ and frequently rolled over within the VA market after 5 to 7 years. Roll-overs, referred to as 1035 exchanges, represents a significant portion of “new” sales.

Valuing Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits (GMDB) Without Tears
Consider a Variable Annuity (VA) policy issued to a life aged x.Let S(t) be the investment fund value at time t.Let T(x) denote the time-until-death random variable.
![Page 36: Actuarial Approach to Pricing Exotic Options Elias S. W. Shiu](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102703/56816793550346895ddcce39/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Valuing Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits (GMDB) Without Tears
Consider a Variable Annuity (VA) policy issued to a life aged x.Let S(t) be the investment fund value at time t.Let T(x) denote the time-until-death random variable.Consider the payoff
Max(S(T(x)), K),where K is the guaranteed amount.

Max(S(T(x)), K),where K is the guaranteed amount.One way to value this GMDB is to calculate
E[e-dT(x) Max(S(T(x)), K)],where the expectation is taken with respect to an appropriate probability measure and d is a valuation force of interest.

Let X = {X(t)} be a stochastic process and gt(X) be a
real-valued functional of the process up to time t. For
example,
gt(X) = (S(0)eX(t), Max{S(0)eX(s); 0 ≤ s ≤ t}).

real-valued functional of the process up to time t. For
example,
gt(X) = (S(0)eX(t), Max{S(0)eX(s); 0 ≤ s ≤ t}).
The process X is stopped at time T, an independent
positive random variable. We are interested in the
expectation
E[e-dT gT(X)].

Factorization Formula: If T is exponential with

E[e-dT gT(X)] = E[e-dT] × E[gT*(X)],
where T* is an exponential random variable with
mean 1/(+d) and independent of X.

E[e-dT gT(X)] = E[e-dT] × E[gT*(X)],
where T* is an exponential random variable with

Notes: (i) E[e-dT] = /( + d).
