INRODUION If fo a long tme lfe nsuance could have been consdeed as a sleeng beauty, thngs have changed damatcally as well fom a theoetcal ont of vew as fom ndustal concens.

In ths case, t aeas clealy that the thee atcaton schemes ae dentcal. hen secton 4 etends the fa valuaton comutaton n a multle eod model; each atcaton system havng then dffeent valuaton.

Secton 6 shows that cash systems have a bgge valuaton when the contact s unbalanced n favou of the nsue and vce vesa.

ONLUSION In ths ae, we have develoed vaous fomulatons n ode to comae the fa value fo lfe nsuance oducts based on thee atcaton schemes: evesonay, cash and temnal bonus, takng nto account smultaneously the asset sde and the lablty sde n a multle eod model. We have shown that the fa value deends on the nvestment stategy (and on the assocated sk, on the atcaton level and on the guaanteed ate but also on the bonus system chosen. We have found some elct equlbum condtons between all these aametes. A dee comason has been made between the thee atcaton schemes, as well n tems of comutaton of the fa value as n the equlbum condtons. Usng fst a bnomal model, we have obtaned closed foms and gven clea nteetatons on the lnk between the maket condtons, the volatlty of the assets and the aametes of the oduct. A same aoach, leadng to smla conclusons, has been oosed n a 8
