8 Chaer : Survival Disribuions C- Chaer Survival Disribuions OBJECTIVES. To define fuure lifeime random variables. To secify survival funcions for fuure lifeime random variables 3. To define acuarial symbols for deah and survival robabiliies and develo relaionshis beween hem 4. To define he force of moraliy In Eam FM, you valued cash flows ha are aid a some known fuure imes. In Eam MLC, by conras, you are going o value cash flows ha are aid a some unknown fuure imes. Secifically, he imings of he cash flows are deenden on he fuure lifeime of he underlying individual. These cash flows are called life coningen cash flows, and he sudy of hese cash flows is called life coningencies. I is obvious ha an imoran ar of life coningencies is he modeling of fuure lifeimes. In his chaer, we are going o sudy how we can model fuure lifeimes as random variables. A few simle robabiliy conces you learn in Eam P will be used.. Age-a-deah Random Variable Le us begin wih he age-a-deah random variable, which is denoed by T. The definiion of T can be easily seen from he diagram below. Ace 5 Johnny Li and Andrew Ng SoA Eam MLC

9 C- Chaer : Survival Disribuions Deah occurs T Age The age-a-deah random variable can ake any value wihin [, ). Someimes, we assume ha no individual can live beyond a cerain very high age. We call ha age he limiing age, and denoe i by ω. If a limiing age is assumed, hen T can only ake a value wihin [, ω]. We regard T as a coninuous random variable, because i can, in rincile, ake any value on he inerval [, ) if here is no limiing age or [, ω] if a limiing age is assumed. Of course, o model T, we need a robabiliy disribuion. The following noaion is used hroughou his sudy guide (and in he eaminaion). F () Pr(T ) is he (cumulaive) disribuion funcion of T. d f () () d F is he robabiliy densiy funcion of T. For a small inerval Δ, he roduc f ()Δ is he (aroimae) robabiliy ha he age a deah is in beween and + Δ. In life coningencies, we ofen need o calculae he robabiliy ha an individual will survive o a cerain age. This moivaes us o define he survival funcion: S () Pr(T > ) F (). Noe ha he subscri indicaes ha hese funcions are secified for he age-a-deah random variable (or equivalenly, he fuure lifeime of a erson age now). No all funcions can be regarded as survival funcions. A survival funcion mus saisfy he following requiremens:. S (). This means every individual can live a leas years.. S (ω) or lim S ( ). This means ha every individual mus die evenually. 3. S () is monoonically decreasing. This means ha, for eamle, he robabiliy of surviving o age 8 canno be greaer han ha of surviving o age 7. Ace 5 Johnny Li and Andrew Ng SoA Eam MLC

Insead of he enire lifeime of (), we are ofen more ineresed in he fuure lifeime of (). We use T o denoe he fuure lifeime random variable for (). The definiion of T can be easily seen from he diagram below. + T Age Now Deah occurs T Time from now [Noe: For breviy, we may only dislay he orion saring from age (i.e., ime ) in fuure illusraions.] If here is no limiing age, T can ake any value wihin [, ).

For smokers, he roorion of individuals who can survive o age 4 is /5 3/5. A 3 age 4, here are 43 l.5l 3 nonsmokers and 53 l.l smokers. Hence, among hose who can survive o age 4, 5/7 are nonsmokers and /7 are smokers. Second, we need o calculae he robabiliies of surviving from age 4 o age 45 for boh smokers and nonsmokers. For a nonsmoker a age 4, he remaining lifeime is uniformly disribued over [, 6). This means ha he robabiliy for a nonsmoker o survive from age 4 o age 45 is 5/6 /. For a smoker a age 4, he remaining lifeime is uniformly disribued over [, 3). This means ha he robabiliy for a smoker o survive from age 4 o age 45 is 5/3 5/6.

19 Chaer 5: Pariciaing Insurance C5- Chaer 5 Pariciaing Insurance OBJECTIVES. To undersand he key feaures of ar olicies. To describe how dividends on a ar olicy are comued 3. To describe how bonuses on a ar olicy are comued, and how hey can be eressed as bonus raes 4. To calculae he rofi vecor of a ar olicy Pariciaing insurances (also known as ar olicies in he US and wih rofi olicies in he UK) are insurance olicies ha ay dividends. The dividends are a orion of he insurance comany s rofis and are aid o he olicyholder as if he or she were a sockholder. When claims are low and he comany s invesmens erform well, dividends rise. However, in many cases dividends are no guaraneed and hey may no be aid if he insurance comany canno make a rofi. In his shor chaer we briefly discuss ariciaing insurances and we shall sress on he following asecs: () he calculaion of dividends and bonus, and () he oions ha are available o olicyholders.

20 C5- Chaer 5: Pariciaing Insurance 5. Dividends In Chaer 3 we have discussed he calculaion of annual rofi in grea deail.

The acual rofi can be comued using realized ineres rae, moraliy and eenses. For non-ariciaing olicies, he acual rofis belong o he insurance comany. The rofis from a ariciaing olicy, however, are shared beween he olicyholder and he insurance comany, usually in re-secified roorions. In he official ebook Acuarial Mahemaics for Life Coningen Risks, he following definiions are used: The erm dividend is used when he rofi share is disribued in he form of cash (or cash equivalen, such as a reducion of remium). The erm bonus is used when he rofi share is disribued in he form of addiional insurance, such as increased deah benefis, or era erm life insurance. Bonus in his case is he (addiional) face amoun of insurance ha can be urchased. In he US, i is common for olicyholders of ariciaing insurances o be given choices abou he disribuion, wih remium reducion being a sandard oion. For single-remium olicy, he olicyholder may receive he cash dividend. Ace 5 Johnny Li and Andrew Ng SoA Eam MLC

21 Chaer 5: Pariciaing Insurance C5-3 Since he case for cash dividend or remium refund is simler han addiional deah benefi, le us discuss dividends firs. To begin wih, we look a an eamle wih no surrender. Eamle 5. [Srucural Quesion] A life aged 5 urchases a fully discree ariciaing whole life conrac. The sum insured is,. You are given: (i) Moraliy follows he Illusraive Life Table. (ii) The remium is 5. (iii) The insurer holds ne remium reserves. (iv) Ne remium reserves are based on an ineres rae of 6% and moraliy following he Illusraive Life Table is used for comuing he reserve. The reserves and deah robabiliies in he firs 4 years are: (v) k q 49+k kv Pre-conrac eense is, assumed incurred a, and remium eenses of 5 are incurred wih each remium aymen, ecluding he firs. Calculae he eeced emerging rofi Pr k, k,,, 3 and 4, assuming an invesmen reurn of 8% under he conracual arrangemens in (a), (b) and (c): (a) The ariciaing conrac ays no dividends during he firs 4 years. (b) From he second olicy year onwards, 8% of rofi ha emerges each year is disribued o all olicyholders as a cash dividend. Surviving olicyholders would receive he dividend as cash, and beneficiaries of he olicyholders who die during he year would receive he dividend as addiional deah benefi. No dividend is ayable in he firs olicy year. No dividend is declared if he emerging rofi is negaive. (c) From he second olicy year onwards, surviving olicyholders receive 8% of he rofi er olicy as cash dividends. The beneficiaries of he olicyholders who die during he year would no receive he dividend as addiional deah benefi. Ace 5 Johnny Li and Andrew Ng SoA Eam MLC

22 C5-4 Chaer 5: Pariciaing Insurance (d) Consider he arrangemen in (b). How much remiums during he firs 5 olicy years would a surviving olicyholders need o ay if he dividends are no disribued as cash bu as a remium refund? (e) Consider he arrangemen in (c). How much of he rofi ha emerges from he hird year is disribued as cash? Soluion (a) When he conrac ays no dividends during he firs 4 years, he rofi would no be shared, and hence we can use he same mehodology as illusraed in Chaer 3: Pr Pr Pr ( ) Pr 3 ( ) Pr 4 ( ) (b) When 8% of he emerging rofi (ece for he firs olicy year) are disribued, he rofis calculaed in (a) would be denoed by Pr k, and he dividends are Div k.8pr k, for k >.

This is because here are no cash disribued for olicies who erminae during year 3 and he whole rofi would be grabbed by he insurer. [ END ] Eamle 5. Consider he olicy in Eamle 5. again, bu wih he following rofi sharing mechanism. From he second olicy year onwards, he insurer disribues a cash dividend o holders of olicies which are in force a he year end. The cash dividend is deermined using 8% of he emerging surlus a he year end, if he surlus is osiive. Projec he cash dividend for his olicy a he end of year 3 for surviving olicies. Soluion The goal of he insurer is o disribue 8% of he emerging surlus. Since only surviving olicies would ge cash dividends and olicies ha erminae ge nohing, he surviving olicies would ge more han 8% of he emerging surlus. Le he cash dividend o be aid be Div 3.

You can coninue wih he calculaion of Eamle 5. and 5. for k 5, 6, and so on, and find all he Pr k s for k being sufficienly large so ha he remaining rofis would be negligibly small.
