Pension buy-out is a special financial asset issued to offload the pension liabilities holistically in exchange for an upfront premium. In this paper, we concentrate on the pricing of pension buy-outs under dependence between interest and mortality rates risks with an explicit correlation structure in a continuous time framework. Change of measure technique is invoked to simplify the valuation. We also present how to obtain the buy-out price for a hypothetical benefit pension scheme using stochastic models to govern the dynamics of interest and mortality rates. Besides employing a non-mean reverting specification of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and a continuous version of Lee-Carter setting for modeling mortality rates, we prefer Vasicek and Cox-Ingersoll-Ross models for short rates. We provide numerical results under various scenarios along with the confidence intervals using Monte Carlo simulations.

Constant proportion portfolio insurance in defined contribution pension plan management TEMOÇİN, BÜŞRA ZEYNEP; Korn, Ralf; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2018-07-01) We consider the optimal portfolio problem with minimum guarantee protection in a defined contribution pension scheme. We compare various versions of guarantee concepts in a labor income coupled CPPI-framework with random future labor income. Besides classical deterministic guarantees we also introduce path-dependent guarantees. To ensure that there is no bias in the comparison, we obtain the optimal CPPI-multiplier for each guarantee framework via using a classical stochastic control approach.
Pricing inflation indexed bonds and embedded deflation floor options: An analysis on Turkish bond market Bayram, Berat; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2020-9) Fixed income securities are financial contracts that provide a stream of cash flows to the investors. Such cash flows are exposed to inflation risk. From the perspective of the lender, the purchasing power of provided cash flows might be subject to erosion in inflationary pressures. Inflation indexed bonds issued in a way that to hedge this risk and provide real return to the bond holder. UK issued first inflation indexed bonds as sovereign in 1981. Then, developed countries such as US, Canada, France, Germ...
Pricing inflation-indexed swaps and swaptions using an hjm model Temiz, Zeynep Canan; Hayfavi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2009) Inflation-indexed instruments provide a real return and protect investors from the erosion of the purchasing power of money. Hence, inflation-indexed markets grow very fast day by day. In this thesis, we focus on pricing of the inflation-indexed swaps and swaptions which are the most liquid derivative products traded in the inflation-indexed markets. Firstly, we review the Hull-White extended Vasicek model in the HJM framework. Then, we use this model to price inflation-indexed swaps. Also, pricing of infla...
Interest Rate Pass-Through to Turkish Lending Rates: A Threshold Cointegration Analysis Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem (Economic Research Center Middle East Technical University, 2012-09-01) This paper aims to investigate the actual nature of the interest rate pass-through to Turkish cash, automobile, housing and corporate loan rates. Focusing on the possibility of nonlinearity in the adjustment of lending rates due to financial market conditions and monetary policies, we adopt the threshold autoregressive (TAR) and momentum threshold autoregressive (MTAR) models of Enders and Siklos (2001). Empirical results suggest substantial asymmetries (nonlinearities) in all lending rates. More specifical...
Pricing inflation indexed swaps using an extended hjm framework with jump process Karahan, Ceren; Hayfavi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2010) Inflation indexed instruments are designed to help protect investors against the changes in the general level of prices. So, they are frequently preferred by investors and they have become increasingly developing part of the market. In this study, firstly, the HJM model and foreign currency analogy used to price of inflation indexed instruments are investigated. Then, the HJM model is extended with finite number of Poisson process. Finally, under the extended HJM model, a pricing derivation of inflation ind...
