题目：Efficient Valuation of Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefits with Surrender Risk

摘要：This paper studies the valuation and surrender risk of the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit (GMAB) rider in a variable annuity under a L´evy-driven equity market. At each contract renewal date, the insurer updates the policyholder’s account value to the higher of a guaranteed value and the equity-linked investment value. The administration fees are deducted continuously as a fixed percentage from the policyholder’s account. The policyholder is allowed to surrender the contract before maturity and retrieves the surrender benefit after charging a penalty. The surrender decisions are made according to two monitoring mechanisms: (i) the policyholder only makes surrender decisions at renewal dates; (ii) the policyholder makes surrender decisions by (frequently) tracking the account value. With the aid of the dynamic programming approach, optimal surrender strategies are derived, and hence an efficient and accurate valuation problem has been established and solved by the COS method. Numerical experiments illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approach and extensive analysis investigates how parameters influence valuation results.
