We consider evaluation methods for payoffs with an inherent financial risk as encountered for instance for portfolios held by pension funds and insurance companies. Pricing such payoffs in a way consistent to market prices typically involves combining actuarial techniques with methods from...

The Solvency II framework challenges insurers to evaluate and manage their embedded balance sheet risks appropriately. However, insurances hold balance sheet items, for which closed-form solutions and market prices are not available. Pure Monte Carlo valuation requires nested simulations, which...

Solvency II requires insurers to calculate the one-year Value at Risk (VaR) of their balance sheet. This involves the valuation of the balance sheet in one years time. As for insurance liabilities closed-form solutions to their value are generally not available, insurers turn to estimation...

Recent theoretical results establish that time-consistent valuations (i.e. pricing operators) can be created by backward iteration of one-period valuations. In this paper we investigate the continuous-time limits of well-known actuarial premium principles when such backward iteration procedures...

We consider the utility maximization problem for an investor who faces a solvency or risk constraint in addition to a budget constraint. The investor wishes to maximize her expected utility from terminal wealth subject to a bound on her expected solvency at maturity. We measure solvency using a...
