Valuation of Guaranteed Unitized Participating Life Insurance under MEGB2 Distribution by Haitao Zheng, Junzhang Hao, Manying Bai, Zhengjun Zhang

“…Considering the correlation of different asset prices, MEGB2 (multivariate exponential generalized beta of the second kind) distribution is proposed to price guaranteed participating life insurance contract which can effectively describe the dependence structure of assets under some extreme risks. Assuming the returns of two different assets follow the MEGB2 distribution, a multifactor fair valuation pricing model of insurance contract is split into four components: the basic contract, the annual dividend option, the terminal dividend option, and the surrender option. …”
