This report, which was sponsored by the Life Board of the Faculty and Institute of Actuaries, was originally published in November 1997.
Because it is referred to several times in the paper ‘Reserving, Pricing and Hedging for Policies with Guaranteed Annuity Options’, and in the discussions of the paper, and because it is not easily accessible elsewhere, it is printed here as a background paper for reference.
The text of this paper, together with the abstract of the discussion held by the Faculty of Actuaries on 20 January 2003, are printed in British Actuarial Journal, 9, II, 263-425.
