Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sharp increase in U.S. interest rates that began in the late 1970's and early 1980's as well as in October 1993 focused increased attention on interest rate risk, especially in mortgage backed and derivative securities. more than ever, life insurance companies need to control interest rate risk through asset-liability management. Insurers have been using asset-liability management for over seventeen years. The implementation of this management tool encountered severe difficulties because insurers have focused on accounting values. To effectively manage insurers' interest rate exposure, a new perspective in asset-liability management must be economic value oriented. Current trends in the overall world market suggest a very high likelihood to move in that direction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores insurance as a source of financial system vulnerability. It provides a brief overview of the insurance industry and reviews the risks it faces, as well as several recent failures of insurance companies that had systemic implications. Assimilation of banking-type activities by life insurers appears to be the key systemic vulnerability. Building on this experience and the experience gained under the FSAP, the paper proposes key indicators that should be compiled and used for surveillance of financial soundness of insurance companies and the insurance sector as a whole.

Download or read book Three Essays on Asset Management of Life Insurer Behavior written by Fu-wei Huang and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the dissertation, we develop a contingent model to evaluate the equity of a life insurer. The dissertation complements the literature about the insurer's asset-liability matching management in three aspects: credit swap transaction, sunflower behavior, and chief executive officer (CEO) overconfidence. The common base of the research approach is based on a contingent claim analysis. The main assumptions of the three issues are, respectively, (i) the invested-asset market and the life insurance market faced by the insurer are assumed imperfectly competitive and a down-and-out call option is developed for the issue of the linkage between insurer behavior and credit swap transaction; (ii) the invested-asset market is assumed to be imperfectly competitive and a utility function based on the standard call option is developed to discuss the sunflower behavior in life insurance management; and (iii) both the invested-asset and life insurance markets are imperfectly competitive and a down-and-out call option is employed to analyze the issue of CEO overconfidence and shadow insurance. The main findings are summarized as follows, respectively. (i) Chapter 2 complements the insurance literature by analyzing how the effects of credit swap transactions on insurer spread behavior and policyholder protection, and how they might differ across various degrees of capital regulation, premature default risk and profit-sharing participation. We find that the policyholder is protected when the insurer as a protection seller benefits risk-taking compensation. (ii) Chapter 3 is the first one to develop a contingent claim model to evaluate the value of the CEO's utility function defined as the like of higher equity return and the dislike of higher equity risk to please the board. The CEO's sunflower aptitude yields lower board utility and makes the CEO more prudent to risk-taking at an increased interest margin for the provision of life insurance policies. (iii) Chapter 4 contributes to the literature on overconfidence behavior by linking shadow insurance and the government's bailout during a financial crisis. We show that there is an efficiency gain from CEO overconfidence to investment and government bailout helps insurer survival. In conclusion, it is shown that the contingent claim approach is intimately relevant to the following three issues in the dissertation: credit swap transaction, sunflower management, and CEO overconfidence.

Download or read book The Fair Value of Insurance Liabilities written by Irwin T. Vanderhoof and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores theoretical and practical implications of reflecting the fair value of liabilities for insurance companies. In addition, the contributions discuss the disclosure of these values to the financial and regulatory communities and auditing firms which are actually calculating this illusive but important variable. It combines contributions by distinguished practitioners from the insurance, accounting and finance fields, with those of prominent academics. One of the central themes of the collection is that adequate disclosure of the true economic value of insurance company liabilities is both possible and desirable. Wherever possible, the insurance valuation process is wedded with modern financial theory. For example, the use of option pricing theory is applied to insurance companies, where the true value of the firm's liabilities is a critical variable. Methods such as cash flow, earned profit and indirect discount are explored.
