2 Profi Tes Modelling in Life Assurance Using Spreadshees, par wo 1. Inroducion In par one of his brief we sudied he opic of Ne Presen Value. We also saw how one could sudy a porfolio consising of policies of differen policy duraions and premium amouns. In par wo we will sudy a single policy and a porfolio of idenical policies. We will also look a how surrenders and paid-ups affec he porfolio. In par one, we worked wih a premium proporional charge. Here we will here look a oher ypes of charges, including a fund proporional charge. We will give some formulae, bu he focus will be on he furher developmen of profi es models using spreadshees. 2. Our policy We sar again wih a uni linked policy ha pays accumulaed sum of premiums plus ineres as a mauriy benefi afer en years. We have an iniial commission of 4% imes oal premium calculaed a maximum duraion of weny years. The only charge he policyholder pays is a premium proporional charge of 6% of premium. The benefi paid afer mauriy afer d years is: C d d = P ( 1 γ ) (1 + i), C = 0 for?d = 1 The expenses paid by he office are I1 = α min(20; d) P, I = 0 for?1 where α = 4% and γ = 6% d= 10 The expression for he profi is d 1 NPV = γ P v I1 = 1

Our quesion now is: Wha will happen if some of he policies are disconinued before he signed period of en years? I is very common ha a policyholder signs up for a cerain period bu changes his mind afer a while and wans his money back before he mauriy dae. This is called a surrender. Le us assume ha he policyholder a a surrender receives his full savings amoun as surrender value a surrender. Le us also assume ha surrender occurs a he end of he year. The surrender value a year is given by SV or = V SV k = P ( 1 γ ) *(1 + i) k = 1 = V = V 1 + P ( 1 γ ) + ( V 1 + P P γ ) If he policy were surrendered afer 5 years, i would look like his: i

4 Profi Tes Modelling in Life Assurance Using Spreadshees, par wo Policy duraion 10 years Discoun rae 10% paymen 10 years NPV -15 Expeced increase in uni value 5% annually Surrender year 5 Iniial commission 4 % of oal premium max 20 years charge 6 % of each premium Fund in Charge Ineres Mauriy Surrender Fund ou Charge Comm Cash flow Accumulaed cash flow Discoun facor Discouned cash flow Accumulaed discouned cash flow The NPV of he cash flow over he period is -15, which means ha we make a loss. The reason for his is ha he commission is paid for en years while he premium charge is earned during five years only. No all policies surrender a he same ime. We mus once again look a he whole porfolio and make saisical assumpions, in his case regarding he proporion of he policies ha will be surrendered. We could view his as having he policy change from he acive sae o he surrender sae and need he ransiional probabiliy beween hese saes a ime. We define A P S = P( surrender a year policy is acive a year end -1) The uncondiional probabiliy of surrender a year is expressed hen as P S = 1 k = 1 (1 P A S k A ) P S The probabiliy of he policy no being surrendered before mauriy is S A S P d = (1 Pk ). k= 1 Le us assume he following surrender assumpions: - A S PS = P 20% 10% 8% 6% 5% 5% 4% 4% 4% 3% d 1

5 Profi Tes Modelling in Life Assurance Using Spreadshees, par wo from which we find ha he probabiliy of a policy remaining acive for en years is 49.7%. We could calculae oal profiabiliy by firs calculaing he profi assuming ha surrender akes place a year-end : k NPV() = P ( γ v ) α min(20; d) k = 1 The overall expeced profi by summing over years 1 o d: d NPV = P S P = 1 k = 1 k ( γ v ) α min(20; d) When doing he corresponding calculaions in a spreadshee, he bes way would be o look a a block of policies wrien a he same ime and o follow he proporion of policies remaining a any ime. As a sandard assumpion, we assume ha we sar wih 1000 policies which are iniially idenical bu which are surrendered a differen imes. We will also from now on sudy he accumulaed discouned cash flow (NPV of profi or profi). Policy duraion 10 years Discoun rae 10% paymen 10 years NPV profi Expeced increase in uni value 5% annually NPV premium Iniial commission 4 % of oal premium max 20 years charge 6 % of each premium 100% of sandard Surrender 20% 10% 8% 6% 5% 5% 4% 4% 4% 3% Number of policies Mauriies Fund in Charge Ineres Mauriy Surrender Fund ou Charge Comm Cash flow Discoun facor Discouned cash flow Accumulaed discouned cash flow We find as above ha he number of policies remaining in he acive sae a mauriy is 497, which means ha jus less han half of he porfolio remains afer en years. We

6 Profi Tes Modelling in Life Assurance Using Spreadshees, par wo also find ha we are in a loss posiion wih he NPV of annual profis of By increasing he premium charge o 8.6%, we could come back o a profi posiion. Anoher way o couner he problem of surrenders is o inroduce a surrender charge. The policyholder will no ge he full fund when surrendering he policy, bu has o pay par of i as a surrender charge, SC. The surrender value a ime is given by SV SV = V k ( 1 SC ) = (1 SC ) P (1 γ ) *(1 + i) or k= 1 = V ( 1 SC ) = (1 SC ) ( V 1 + P P γ + ( V 1 + P (1 γ )) i) This charge could be fla or i could be larger he firs years. One possibiliy could be o have i 75% year 1, 50% year 2, 25% year 3, 10% year 4 and 5% hereafer. We would hen ge he following resul: Policy duraion 10 years Discoun rae 10% paymen 10 years NPV profi Expeced increase in uni value 5% annually NPV premium Iniial commission 4 % of oal premium max 20 years charge 6 % of each premium 100% of sandard Surrender charge 100% of sandard Surrender 20% 10% 8% 6% 5% 5% 4% 4% 4% 3% Surrender 75% 50% 25% 10% 5% 5% 5% 5% 5% 5% charge Number of policies Mauriies Fund in Charge Ineres Mauriy Surrender S charge Fund ou Charges Comm Cash flow Discoun facor Discouned cash flow Accumulaed discouned cash flow As discussed previously, we have assumed ha surrenders are aking place a he end of he year while commission and premium charges are earned in he beginning of he

7 Profi Tes Modelling in Life Assurance Using Spreadshees, par wo year. Therefore, when we calculae he oal charges, he surrender charge has been muliplied by v in order o arrive a a more correcly discouned cash flow. We find ha we make a nice profi, wih a NPV of profi of A more deailed sudy will however show ha for policies wih longer duraions, we will make losses. Policies wih duraion 15 years or longer show losses. To ge he picure more clear, we once again look a a porfolio wih boh shor and long policies, hey way we did in par one of his brief: Policy duraion Number of policies Profi per policy Toal profi (000) Toal NPV of premium (000) Toal The loss is -0.9% of premium. If we increase he premium charge o 7%, we will be back in black (i.e. make a profi).

The picure for he whole porfolio looks like his: Policy duraion Number of policies Profi per policy Toal profi (000) Toal NPV of premium (000) Toal Since we make profis on surrenders, we mus also check o see wha happens if surrenders are fewer han assumed. Le us assume surrenders being 50% of sandard:

We are obviously sensiive o surrenders being oo few. When he surrender charge is small, he opposie will happen: We will be sensiive o surrenders being oo many.

11 Profi Tes Modelling in Life Assurance Using Spreadshees, par wo 4. Paid up policies We have up o now used wo saes for he policies: Acive and Surrendered. We will now inroduce a hird sae: Paid-up. We have sudied surrenders and found ha inroducing surrender charges will help us cope wih he negaive effec of surrenders. A surrender occurs when a policyholder wishes o disconinue premium paymen ino his policy and insead wans o wihdraw his fund. This will look unfavourable if here is a high surrender charge. Anoher possible opporuniy for hose who wish o disconinue premium paymen is he paid up policy. The accumulaed fund remains wih he life office, i.e. P = 0, V = V 1 i, pu where pu is he insan he policy becomes paid-up. A paid-up policy could laer be surrendered. Le us assume ha each year 10% of he policies will be convered o paid-ups, i.e. A P P = 10%,1=<d We also here assume ha paid-up policies are surrendered in he same percenage as acive policies, i.e. P P = S P A S. The number of paid-up policies is P P P S A A P N = N 1 ( 1 P ) + N 1 P 1 Since paid-up policies are now allowed, we assume ha he overall surrender probabiliy is 70% of he sandard assumpions used previously.

12 Profi Tes Modelling in Life Assurance Using Spreadshees, par wo In he spreadshee environmen, we do no keep rack of he number of acives and paid-ups separaely. The reason for his is he previously menioned assumpion ha paid-ups have he same surrender probabiliy as acive policies. Therefore, we could calculae surrendered amouns as a percenage of he fund wihou keeping rack of how much of he fund ha belongs o paid-up policies.

This effec is more pronounced here, since afer a few years, he number of acive policies is low and he life offices does no receive he expeced premium charges. Le us now, as an illusraion, assume ha surrender probabiliies are differen for paidup policies han for acive policies. This means ha we need o keep rack of hem and he corresponding funds separaely.

Fund proporional charge We have found ha he premium charges needed o make he longer policies profiable (or less unprofiable) migh become raher high, especially when we expec a high percenage of paid-up policies. We herefore inroduce a new ype of charge, a fund charge β. This charge is aken ou as a fixed percenage of he oal fund, also for paidup policies. In our case, we will charge i annually, in he beginning of he year jus before he annual premium is paid. In realiy, i is normally charged once a monh. The developmen of he fund for a single acive policy is given by: V = V (1 β ) + P (1 γ )) (1 + i ) or ( 1 V = ( V 1 + P V 1 β P γ ) + ( V 1 + P V 1 β P γ ) i ) C The income earned by he life office during year, calculaed as a beginning of year, is he charges, i.e. V 1 β + P γ + SC v, where he surrender charge is muliplied by v since i is earned a he end of he year If we inroduce a fund charge of 0.75%, we can keep he premium charge o 7% and sill ge porfolio profiabiliy.
