Annuity pricing is critical to the insurance companies for their financial liabilities. Companies aim to adjust the prices using a forecasting model that fits best to their historical data, which may have outliers influencing the model. Environmental conditions and extraordinary events such as a weak health system, an outbreak of war, and occurrence of pandemics like Spanish flu or Covid-19 may cause outliers resulting in misevaluation of mortality rates. These outliers should be taken into account to preserve the financial strength and liability of the life insurance industry. In this study, we aim to determine if there is an impact of mortality jumps in annuity pricing. We question the annuity price fluctuations among different countries and two models on country characteristics. Moreover, we show the annuity pricing on a portfolio for a more comprehensive assessment. To achieve this, a simulated diverse portfolio is created for the prices of four types of life annuities. Canada, Japan, and the United Kingdom as developed countries with high longevity risk, Russia and Bulgaria as emerging countries are considered. The results of this study prove the use of outlier-adjusted models for specific countries.

Impact of Outliers in Mortality Rates on the Valuation of Life Annuities
Yavrum, Cem; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2021-07-09)
Annuity pricing is essential to insurance companies for their financial liabilities. Therefore, one of the purposes of companies is to adjust the annuity prices using a forecasting model that fits their historical data best. However, historical data may have outliers influencing the model. Extraordinary events such as a weak health system, an outbreak of war, and pandemics like Spanish flu or, more recently, Covid-19may cause outliers resulting in misevaluation of mortality rates. These outliers shoul...
Utilization of outlier-adjusted lee-carter model in mortality estimation on whole life annuities
Yavrum, Cem; Selçuk Kestel, A. Sevtap.; Department of Actuarial Sciences (2019)
Annuity and its pricing are very critical to the insurance companies for their financial liabilities. Companies aim to adjust the prices of annuity by choosing the forecasting model that fits best to their historical data. While doing it, there may be outliers in the historical data influencing the model. These outliers can be arisen from environmental conditions and extraordinary events such as weak health system, outbreak of war, occurrence of a contagious disease. These conditions and events impact morta...
Impact of capacity level on reinsurance and cat bond markets
Kerman, T. Toygar; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Yazıcı, Selamet; Department of Actuarial Sciences (2012)
Reinsurance is one of the most important tools to be used by insurance companies, for managing risks. This is an effective way; however, there are situations where reinsurance is insufficient, such as the occurrence of a natural hazard. When a natural hazard occurs, many insured experience loss at the same time, which drains the reinsurance market capacity. If future market capacity could be forecasted, then it would be easier for companies to decide when to include cat bonds or any other additional securit...
Optimal premium allocation under stop-loss insurance using exposure curves
Mert, Özenç Murat; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2022-1-01)
Determining the retention level in the stop-loss insurance risk premium for both insurer and reinsurer is an important factor in pricing. This paper aims to set optimal reinsurance with respect to the joint behavior of the insurer and the reinsurer under stop-loss contracts. The dependence between the costs of insurer and reinsurer is expressed as a function of retention (d) and maximum-cap (m) levels. Based on the maximum degree of correlation, the optimal levels for d and m are derived under certain claim...
