Leboho, Nakedi Wilson. "Quantitative Risk Management and Pricing for Equity Based Insurance Guarantees." Thesis, Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/96980.
Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT : Equity-based insurance guarantees also known as unit-linked annuities are annuities with embedded exotic, long-term and path-dependent options which can be categorised into variable and equity indexed annuities, whereby investors participate in the security markets through insurance companies that guarantee them a minimum of their invested premiums. The difference between the financial options and options embedded in equity-based policies is that financial ones are financed by the option buyers’ premiums, whereas options of the equity-based policies are financed by also continuous fees that follow the premium paid first by the policyholders during the life of the contracts. Other important dissimilarities are that equity-based policies do not give the owner the right to sell the contract, and carry not just security market related risk, but also insurance related risks such as the selection rate, behavioural, mortality, others and the systematic longevity. Thus equity-based annuities are much complicated insurance products to precisely value and hedge. For insurance companies to successfully fulfil their promise of eventually returning at least initially invested amount to the policyholders, they have to be able to measure and manage risks within the equity-based policies. So in this thesis, we do fair pricing of the variable and equity indexed annuities, then discuss management of financial market and insurance risks management.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING : Aandeel-gebaseerde versekering waarborg ook bekend as eenheid-gekoppelde annuiteite is eksotiese, langtermyn-en pad-afhanklike opsies wat in veranderlike en gelykheid geindekseer annuiteite, waardeur beleggers neem in die sekuriteit markte deur middel van versekering maatskappye wat waarborg hulle ’n minimum van geklassifiseer kan word hulle belˆe premies. Die verskil tussen die finansi¨ele opsies en opsies is ingesluit in aandele-gebaseerde beleid is dat die finansi¨ele mense is gefinansier deur die opsie kopers se premies, terwyl opsies van die aandele-gebaseerde beleid word deur ook deurlopende fooie wat volg op die premie wat betaal word eers deur die polishouers gefinansier gedurende die lewe van die kontrakte. Ander belangrike verskille is dat aandele-gebaseerde beleid gee nie die eienaar die reg om die kontrak te verkoop, en dra nie net markverwante risiko sekuriteit, maar ook versekering risiko’s, soos die seleksie koers, gedrags, sterftes, ander en die sistematiese langslewendheid. So aandeel-gebaseerde annuiteite baie ingewikkeld versekering produkte om presies waarde en heining. Vir versekeringsmaatskappye suksesvol te vervul hul belofte van uiteindelik ten minste aanvanklik belˆe bedrag terug te keer na die polishouers, hulle moet in staat wees om te meet en te bestuur risiko’s binne die aandeel-gebaseerde beleid. So in hierdie tesis, ons doen billike pryse van die veranderlike en gelykheid geïndekseer annuiteite, bespreek dan die bestuur van finansiele markte en versekering risiko’s bestuur.

Full textO sector dos seguros de vida tem registado, durante os últimos anos, um crescimento muito forte por toda a Europa. O constante desenvolvimento de novos produtos é uma consequência do aparecimento de novas necessidades associadas quer à protecção de riscos quer à rentabilidade de poupanças. O crescente dinamismo dos mercados de capitais europeus, proporcionando bons rendimentos, e a descida generalizada das taxas de juro, têm conduzido a uma aposta cada vez maior em seguros ligados a fundos de investimento, em substituição de produtos com taxas garantidas cada vez mais baixas. A vantagem dos seguros Unit-Linked consiste assim no facto de permitirem ao Tomador aproveitar simultaneamente os rendimentos dos mercados de capitais e os benefícios fiscais dos seguros de vida. Este estudo pretende dar a compreender um pouco do que são, e como funcionam, os seguros ligados a fundos de investimento, numa altura em que Portugal parece ainda estar a despertar para estes produtos. Evidenciando as vantagens quer para os Tomadores quer para as seguradoras, pretende-se ainda demonstrar o potencial destes seguros para o mercado português, à semelhança do que já acontece noutros países da Europa.
For the last years the sector of life insurance has registered a strong increase ali over Europe. The constant development of new products is a consequence of the appearance of new needs which are associated both to the protection of risks and to the profitability of savings. The increasing activity of European stock markets, which provide good incomes, and the general drop of interest rates have led to growing confidence in insurances associated to investment funds, which replace those products whose guaranteed rates are increasingly low. Thus, the advantage of Unit-Linked insurance consists in the fact that they allow the insurance taker to benefit by incomes from stock markets simultaneously with fiscal benefits from life insurances. This research aims at providing some understanding of insurances associated to investment funds and how they work, in a time when Portugal seems to be still awakening to these products. By making clear the advantages both for the insurance taker and the insurance companies, there is further intention to demonstrate the potential of such insurances for the Portuguese market, similar to what is already happening in other European countries.

Full textBanks are special institutions because they are central to the functioning of economies and to economic growth. Their services represent a public good. Therefore, it is essential to keep them as far as possible from risk of bankruptcy. However, banking crises occur regularly and affect societies, often dramatically and over a long period, like the current subprime financial crisis which burst into 2007, and which consequences are still not very well perceived. To prevent the risk of bankruptcy and banking crisis, the national authorities of regulation have developed safety nets. These follow partially the international standards of regulation and banking supervision developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision under the aegis of the Bank for International Settlements. However, recurrent crises occur and show us the limits of the banking regulation and, especially, indicate that the latter should be continually revised and adapted to the evolution of banking systems and financial innovations. One of the main goals is to make sure that banks are enough capitalized to face unexpected large losses. In order to achieve long-lasting financial stability, it is essential that banking supervisors can monitor efficiently banks. By doing so, the risk taken by banks would be sustainable and would not threaten either their own solvency or the whole banking system solvency. Finally, banks are supposed to be regulated by the market (market discipline) on the basis of information about their financial health which should be disclosed publicly. Along the policies of banking regulation and crisis risk prevention, one should not forget the role of the deposit insurers. Indeed, some economists and international authorities want to attribute more power over banks to deposit insurers. In our research, the empirical analysis, based on contemporary data, show the weakness of the actual regulation and banking supervision policies and the mistakes in banking regulation. Different features of the banking system that should be taken into account for an efficient implementation of regulation and banking supervision policies are also discussed in this work. Hence, we suggest that the type of financial institutions' activities should be better taken into account as it changes with the degree of risk exposure. We also find that it is important to consider the characteristics of the institutional environment in which banks evolve in order to develop a suitable and efficient supervision agency. To summarize, we study in this thesis a large range of economic and institutional determinants of the banking system, which are likely to affect the banking stability. By doing so, we are able to identify the regulation policies which would be the most likely to preserve the financial stability of banks

After engaging in insurance for 20 years, the interest rate from traditional insurance policy is 8% to 2.25%, because traditional office premiums become more expensive as the interest rate is lowered. In 2002, when the interest rate was set at 4%, Taiwan also started to have investment-type insurance policies. It was known that investment-type insurance policies are much cheaper than traditional insurance policies, but there are risks. After experiencing the financial tsunami in 2008, we learned more about the advantages of investment-based insurance. Investment-oriented insurance products are a type of financial instrument that has functions such as investment, insurance, tax, financial management, asset preservation, and pre-production tax sources. Assets are allocated through investment-based insurance policies, and long-term ownership is also a good retirement planning tool. First, you can achieve financial goals and complete financial freedom. When designing the beneficiaries when planning insurance protection, the use of insurance policies can solve the problem of property distribution and can also be used for asset transfer. Taiwan’s insurance has the highest penetration rate in the world. According to the statistics of the insurance center, the average premium per person (ie, insurance density) reached NT$150,000, and the insurance coverage was only 560,000 yuan. The protection was obviously insufficient. Through investment-type insurance policies, you can increase security, meet different stages of demand, and achieve the significance and function of insurance. At the same time, you can also achieve the virtues of the country's love for savings. In this process, we also participate in many cases of clients. I will also share in the cases to let more people understand the advantages of investment-type insurance products.

Sales of investment-linked insurance products, which combine features of insurance products and investment tools, have grown substantially since 2002 and have thus attracted wide attention. The majority of investment-linked insurance products are associated with mutual funds, and a majority of holders adopt either a buy and hold strategy or periodic fixed investment strategy, rarely bringing technical analysis into consideration. This study thus utilizes the concept of moving averages to construct an investment strategy in an attempt to improve investment performance. Results of empirical analysis achieved through clustering and regression reveal that the moving averages strategy designed in this study was more effective than a buy and hold strategy and performed best for regional equity funds. The win rate was highest for single-country equity funds. The results of this study offer strategic implications for investment-linked insurance holders regarding investment selection and market entrance timing.

Taiwan’s investment-linked new insurance premium saw a rapid growth since 2003. The investment-linked insurance new insurance premium reached peak in 2007, where the investment-linked new insurance premium as a percentage of total life insurance new premium reached 62%. However affected by financial tsunami in 2008, the investment-linked new policy premium as a percentage of total life insurance new premium experience a significant decrease to 35%. And for the period of 2009~2012, the percentage continued to fall. This paper investigated the factors that affect the investment-linked insurance in Taiwan. We used 12 insurance companies’ investment-linked new insurance policy’s face value as explained variable, and used panel data’s fixed effect model and random effect model in analysis. We used insurance companies’ equity value、average income per capita、saving rate、one year term deposit rate of five largest banks、USD/NTD exchange rate、MSCI world stock index、J.P. Morgan Global Aggregate Bond Index and the number of domestic and foreign funds as explanatory variables. Finally, we examined if the effect on the domestic and foreign insurance companies are different. The empirical results shows that there is a positive correlation between average income per capita、USD/NTD exchange rate、MSCI world stock index and the number of domestic and foreign funds with investment-linked insurance. Whereas saving rate、one year term deposit rate of five largest banks、and J.P. Morgan Global Aggregate Bond Index are negatively correlated with investment-linked insurance. Furthermore, both domestic and foreign insurance companies are positively affected by average income per capita and USD/NTD exchange rate, and negatively affected by the saving rate. Only domestic insurance companies are positively affected by MSCI world stock index, and negatively affected by J.P. Morgan Global Aggregate Bond Index. The number of domestic and foreign funds have only positive effect on the foreign insurance companies.

Investment-linked Insurance is the combined products of insurance and investment; this means that these contracts both offer insurance protection and investment by which policyholders have to take all risks. Another similar strategy concept of insurance and investment is to buy term and invest the difference(BTID); this means that consumers buy the term life insurance and invest the difference to the risky assets. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze and compare the investment performance of two strategies(that is to buy investment-linked Insurance and BTID) for the consumers on many insurance factors, by using the simulation method. This study we find that the firstly, whether gender, age and insurance period, the investment performance of BTID is better than the investment performance of investment-linked insurance product. Secondly, we find that the insurance factor (that is total loading premium ratio) will affect the consumer choice of investment strategies. Finally, the investment factor (that is average return and volatility) will not change the choice of investment strategies.

Investment-linked insurance policy is a financial product providing insurance and investment. This innovative product includes functions of a life-insurance policy, securities investment and asset management. Emerging problems in Taiwan banking industry, such as fierce competition, tiny trading spread, earnings and profitability down, aggressive penetration of local market share by foreign banks, create opportunities for wealth management. Hence, more and more local banks focus on their own wealth management sectors. The growing wealth management sector brings banks handsome fee-income and no risk. The 2003 sales account for ten folds that of 2002. The buying spree on sales in the product greatly profits local banks. The sale of insurance policy through banking service channels attributes its success to the following reasons: 1.Long-term strategic alliance between banks and insurance companies create win-win situation. 2.Smooth operation flows through insurance companies to banks. 3.Broad access to banks’client database to find target customers. 4.Increase fee-income and reduce interest expense. 5.Investment-linked insurance policy guarantees principal and interests, which earns more than term-deposits. 6.Emphasizing the importance of risk management by disclosing policy’s risk.

Investment-linked insurance is one of the mainstream products currently on the insurance market. It is combined interdependently by insurance contract and securities investment trust contract. Targets of securities investment trust contract are decided by the proposer or the insurer on behalf of the proposer. Though the essence of investment-linked insurance is considered as life insurance by scholars and court, it is mostly utilized to evade income tax and estate tax and totally without the function of spreading or diversion of risk. Thus it is occasionally thought as securities investment contract instead of life insurance contract. Investment-linked insurance can be divided into tax-planning type and cost-saving type. The lure of tax-planning type for the proposer and the beneficiary is that tax-planning type could be used to evade income tax and estate tax. The lure of evading tax actually could be evaluated as fictitious expressions in collusion of civil law without any intent to sign an insurance contract. The proposer and the beneficiary may possibly face the risk of duty to repay and penalty. Cost-saving type could save the fee or cost of financial business transactions of the proposer and the insurer. But the proposer will be responsible for the risk of investing. The insurer may have problems of tie-in sale, concerted action and interested parties transaction. The standard provisions of investment-linked insurance are better being considered as adminstrative guidance. It will become articles for standard contracts when it is actually and generally adopted by contracts of same type. Investment-linked insurance should be designed toward cost-saving type. The insurer should develop the business of discretionary investment and securities investment trust fund, and help grow affiliated securities investment trust enterprise and consulting enterprise, or cooperate with other securities investment enterprises in strategic alliance. The insurer also must implement the procedures of policy underwriting. Then the investment-linked insurance could really fulfill its capabilities of protection and investment.

It has been over eight years since the investment-linked insurance policy was introduced in Taiwan. This new policy opened a brand-new insurance market and, however, brought some dispute between insurers and insured. Two major issues were concerned. First, should the income tax of investment earnings coming from separate accounts be collected? Second, should the payment of investment-linked insurance be regarded as estate property of the decedent? Further study on these disputes will be discussed in this paper. The appearance of investment-linked insurance arises from the lower market interest rate that leads to the lower assumed interest rate and higher premium in insurance market. The applicants therefore cannot buy adequate life insurance due to high premium, and the insurers, considering the getting higher operating cost on fixed assumed interest rate, transfer the investment sovereign in traditional policy into the insurance applicants via investment policy. Differed from FSC insurance bureau, IRS is finding the investment-linked insurance as a financing commodity rather than an insurance commodity. Considering the practical side and referring to related literatures, in this paper, we go for a contention that investment-linked insurance is essentially an insurance commodity under specified condition. Some suggestions to FSC are concluded in this paper. First, adequate standards must be established towards investment-linked insurance, which makes tax concessions available with regards to Insurance Law, Income Tax Act, and Estate-and-gift Tax Act. Second, when the investment income in separate accounts is received, tax must be collected under specified condition. Third, Ministry of Finance is suggested to make proposals for amending the law, specific to laws about tax concessions and exclusion clauses of tax avoidance.

This thesis studied the sales experience in the investment-linked insurance products in America、U.K、Japan and China. It also introduced the insurance dispute and investment quarrel, which happened in Taiwan. And I bring up some suggestion to the applicant, insurer, and insurance agent. I hope to reduce the dispute in investment-oriented insurance products for future。 By the way, everything is transparent, equitable, and reasonable. The applicants quite understand what risk they will have is. The insurer grasps the duty of a good and honest management has to achieve to open the true information. The supervisors maintain the business transaction in a legitimate market. But the most important thing is that the insurance agents have to promise to obey the professional ethics and norm, indeed to know what is the customers need, which they want, informing those customers the risk clearly, and do not puff up the rewards rate. Otherwise, it will cause many disputes and lawsuit to hurt insurance industry and increase the cost of society.

Investment-linked life (LIL) insurance policies integrate the attributes from the mutual fund by introducing the investment options to the policyholders and life insurance through the benefit payments shielding the unexpected events of the insured. Since the execution of the implied options depends on the policyholder’s health status. Actuarial equivalent principal and non-arbitrage pricing theory are used in evaluating the prices for LIL insurance policies. Brennan and Schwartz (1976) initially employ the option pricing theory in examining the pricing and hedging strategy for LIL insurance policies with minimum guarantees. Most published literatures are focusing on this issue adopting the B-S methodology. Since the values of the LIL policies cannot be replicated uniquely through the self-financing strategies due to underwriting risks of the insurance market. Insurance market does not satisfy the completeness assumptions, Due to lack of a unique martingale measure under market incompleteness, the utility assumption of the policyholder is involved in the pricing issue. Insurance pricing must consider the risk attitude of the investors in the market. Hence the cost the LIL insurance policies are not necessarily equal to the fair market prices. The market value should fall within the range of the bid and ask prices. In this study, we follow the approach in Mercurio (1996) by adopting the quadratic utility function and compute the reasonable range of the prices based on maximizing the terminal health utility function. Binary tree method is used in modeling the asset dynamics. Then the numerical computations are performed using endowment LIL insurance policies with 5, 10 and 15 years of duration. Based on the results, we find that the risk attitude of the policyholder, the policy duration and minimum amounts of the guarantees significantly affect the bid-ask price spread of LIL insurance policies.

Due to the monetary policy in the banking sector and the global economic uncertainty, the solvency issue for the life insurer becomes crucial. In Japan life insurance market, five insurers have declared their bankruptcy since 1996, six insurers had been merged, and the others have suffered serious financial press. Preventing the ruin crisis of life insurers and strengthen their financial abilities through innovation products and risk management techniques in Taiwan have become an important issue for the management. Owing to the high leverage ratio in life insurer’s capital structure, the reserve adequacy plays a vital role in shielding the policyholder''s rights. Since the uncertainty of the interest rate affects the reserve and surplus of the insurer, asset-liability risk management becomes an important subject. Adding the investment-linked life insurance policies in the insurer’s liability portfolio is an innovative strategy in managing the low interest risk. Combining with the mutual fund or the bank certificates in early stage has advanced to integrate with the equity indexed products. The investment-linked products vary from the traditional ones allowing the participation in the financial risks. Owing to the complexity of its design, the valuation becomes essential. This study analyzes investment-linked life insurance policies and their historical evolutions. The financial valuation processes are illustrated explicitly. The regulations in the reserve valuation, the asset-liability management, the connection with risk-based capital (RBC) and the related hedging issues are also explored. Finally, the product designs and managerial issues in operating the investment-linked life insurance policies in Taiwan and Mainland China are discussed.

Meanwhile, the tumble of the interest rate in Taiwan has made the traditional life insurance products less competitive in the local market. As a result of the above mentioned factors, the financial authority in Taiwan was eager to bring the Taiwanese financial market into a new era by introducing innovated cross-industrial products. With the help from the newly formed Financial Holding Company Act thereupon, the first Investment-linked insurance product in Taiwan was introduced to the market in November 2001. This new type of financial products provides dual benefits of both protection and investment, and they were soon in great demand by Taiwanese investors. However, gradually the high risk that came along with the high yield caused problems when the investors found that the proceeds were not as high as they expected, and some even suffered heavy losses. That is why in recent years, the number of the disputes related to Investment-linked insurance products has risen up to the second place among non-claim complaints, only next to that of the disagreements arose from life insurance products. When there are disputes related to the Investment-linked insurance products, it is usually difficult for investors to make clear whether to seek relief from the insurance aspect or the securities one. In Taiwan, when the judiciary tends to deal with these disputes, it is custom to quote Insurance Laws or Financial Consumer Protection Act. However, these regulations are usually not able to solve the pragmatic arguments concerning the separated accounts which deal with the securities investments, and thus could not offer satisfactory legal remedies to the investors. It is necessary and important to re-examine the legal position of the investment-linked insurance products, because the distinctive character of pursuing profits in the Investment-linked insurance products has made them greatly different from the traditional life insurance products, which focus mainly on safeguarding the financial status of the policy holders. We should look closely at the special identities of how these products transact, the degree of the risks the investors might face, and financial value of the products themselves so that we could find the fittest laws and regulations which the investment-linked insurance products could apply to. In addition, we should also keep an eye on whether the cited regulations could also help to promote the safety of the transactions, to stabilize the financial market, and to protect the rights and interests of the investors. These laws and decrees must be able to ascertain the legal value of the products so that to confirm their legal positioning. In this dissertation, the author shares her points of view by describing the meaning and the features of the Investment-linked insurance products in the beginning part. She continues to elaborate her work by sharing the development and current status of Investment-linked insurance products in other countries, and emphasizes her discussion on the dual-supervision system in Hong Kong. The author also discusses the theories of the nature of securities investment brought up by the scholars in the United States. She then analyzes and reviews the present situations in the Taiwanese financial market with concentration on why the Investment-linked insurance products are currently categorized as insurance products by the authorities. In the conclusion, the author sincerely hopes that this dissertation will contribute to improve the financial market in Taiwan, to steady the economic growth, and to guarantee the rights and interests of the investors.

We were motivated to analyze and find out what the major obstruction traditional insurance companies face, as the sales of investment-linked insurance has become dominating the life insurance market. While most insured would like a large portion of their premium to be allocated to fund investment, the compensation to brokers from this part is much less compared with the commission they get from sales of traditional life insurance. How insurance companies compensate the brokers and balance the sales of products in between traditional life insurance and investment-linked insurance becomes even critical to motivate sales growth, satisfy customers, and sustain employee loyalty. By using Porter’s Five Forces Analysis and the SWOT analysis in both industry analysis and the case study, we conclude that to startup an offshore asset management company so as to run the offshore fund may provide one feasible solution to this problem.

The value of investment mainly comes from the ability of profit and risk management of the investing underlying assets. Actually , it is difficult to avoid the risk of loss in bear market for most of the investors. The purpose of the Linked-Insurance-Product, launched by the insurance company, is to diversify the risk of their portfolio through asset allocation in order to gain the maximum profit under the minimum risk. Asset allocation is one of the most important topics in investment commodities. However, the choice of funds strongly related to the allocated-portfolio performance. Therefore, the capacity of fund manager’s profit gaining and risk management is very important. Based on Sharp index, beta coefficient, and VaR risk analysis, this study applied the historical data of 80 mutual funds, which are Linked-Insurance-Product launched by N insurance company, to study the winner and loser’s portfolio’s performance. We found that there are no consistent and efficient criteria to forecast the future performance of the Funds. In fact, the future performance of Funds is unpredictable. In this study, we used VaR to predict the maximum loss and minimum profit of the Funds. Then we chose 80 mutual funds from the Linked-Insurance-Product and allocated the asset portfolio by using beta coefficient and Sharp index. The endurance of risk and return of investment vary from individual investors. In order to fit the needs of the investor’s requirement on risk and return, we used Mathematical Programming model on Excel to evaluate the performance of mutual funds and chose the best portfolio that fits the needs of different types of invertors. Therefore, we could reach the goal of each investor under the least risk and the most return that meet the purpose of the Linked-Insurance-Product : a proper and persistent profit.

Till this year, the Central Bank still remain the rediscount rate at 1.875%. Our income even falls back to the level of 16 years ago. The salary is paid while young people are employed cannot raise, however, with a limited income, people might suffer uncertain risk even they work hard, and so, insurance become the best tool to fight against risk and safeguard the need of economy. Insurance companies face in a low interest rate environment caused by operational difficulties negative spread, as well as conventional insurance premiums rising due to difficulties caused by the sale, began to shift interest rate risk to the policyholder, the implementation of investment-type insurance policy, will the insurance financialization.

Investment-Linked Insurance was introduced to the Taiwan market in 2001. It has since influenced the way insurance sales agents sell the products. Because of the level of complication of Investment-Linked Insurance compared with traditional insurance, and professional knowledge and skills needed during the selling process, an insurance sales agent needs to improve his competence in order to become a financial advisor for his customers. However, literature review shows that most researchers focus on how to improve customer satisfaction, service quality, customer loyalty or the impact of training on sales. There are so few studies related to the development of a training system specifically designed for selling Investment-Linked Insurance. According to the results from surveys, almost sixty percent of sales agents consider the ability of gathering and analyzing information or the understanding of political or economical status the skills they need the most. Moreover, almost fifty percent of sales agents believe the investment performance in the past does not affect the decision of customers for the purchases of Investment-Linked Insurance. At the same time, seventy percent of sales agents admit that customers tend to stay off Investment-Linked Insurance because of risk. Not only do surveys show that sales agents need more skills, but also interviews indicate that sales agents are afraid that they can not improve their competence without a systematic training. Therefore, we classify the knowledge and skills needed during the sale process for Investment-Linked Insurance. After the basic training sessions, sales agents will take five training modules, including data collection, interpretation of political or economical status, investment portfolio allocation, investment performance review and funds analysis. At the same time, sales agents follow the training steps of identification, learning, practices and articulation in order to get ready for Investment-Linked Insurance. The benefits of this training system for Investment-Linked Insurance are two-folds, including the increase of time and cost efficiency for training and the enhancement of professional knowledge or skills.

The insurance contracts involved in this study are investment-linked products with regular premiums and non-discretionary accounts. The author analyzes the following features of sample policies: genders and ages of the proposers and insureds at initial purchase, the insureds’ insurance ages, statuses as well as holding periods at the record date, insured amounts, annual target premiums, and total premiums paid. In addition, this paper integrates various items indicated on insurance contracts and account statements and employs descriptive statistics to present the patterns of various rates of return, including the rate of return on the account value, the accumulated absolute rate of return for reference measured by New Taiwan Dollars, and the rate of return on total paid premiums. The first two are shown on the account statements offered by the insurance company, whereas the last one could be derived by the policyholder him/herself by using the account statements. Empirical results show that the mean of the rate of return on total paid premiums is -48.19%. However, among the twenty valid policies with premiums paid persistently and held longer than 132 months, the mean and median of the rate of return on total paid premiums is 2.75% and 0.87%, respectively. This implies that by holding the sample products for longer periods and paying premiums persistently, on average the rate of return on total paid premiums would be positive.

As an insurance commodity with characteristic of investment, the Investment-Linked Insurance (ILI) has gradually become a new pipeline for people’s wealth management. This thesis proposes methods to analyze the performance of ILI’s investment part, with regard to both expected return and risk aspects. Specifically, the investment part of ILI is a dollar-cost averaging investment stategy. In such cases the internal rate of returns (IRR) measures can better capture the expected-return performance. For differing alternative investment strategies, Monte Carlo Simulation is run to simulate realized returns many (1000) times, this thesis finds that the influence on the annual rate of return is very little for differing payment periods. The portfolio rebalancing period and rebalancing principle are more influential. The results of study shows that adopting the Constant-Mix (CM) strategy may reduce the fluctuation of the rate of returns, and improve the average IRR.

Due to the government's open-door policy, the life insurance market in Taiwan has been transformed from completely closed market to open competition. Besides, over the past few years, caused by the low interest rate environment, the life insurance companies are confronted with the spread damages problems. These have affected the operations of life insurance companies to a certain degree. In order to respond to the trend of disadvantage, the life insurance companies begin to introduce new insurance products, and investment-linked insurance product is one of them. After Taiwan allows the life insurance companies to sell the investment-linked insurance in 2002, the market share of investment-linked insurance products is going up. Until 2008, the market share of investment-linked insurance products starts to decline due to the financial tsunami. What is the impact of investment-linked insurance products on the operating performance of life insurance industry? This motivation propels the development of this thesis. In the literature of the impact of the investment-linked insurance products on the operating performance of life insurance industry, regression analysis is a widely used method. Yue-ping Luo (2006) uses 25 domestic life insurance companies from 1999 to 2004 as sample, and uses multiple regression method to conduct the analysis. This thesis applies data envelopment analysis method together with the Tobit regression model to explore this issue. The study period of this thesis is from 2003 to 2010. First, we use data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the performance of 22 life insurance companies. Second, we use the value of efficiency as the dependent variable, and then employ Tobit regression model to explore the impact of market share, investment-type proportion, public sector and private sector, and the proportion of financial income on the value of efficiency. The results show that the impact of market share on the value of technical efficiency is positive, which means that increasing the market share could improve the operating performance of the life insurance companies. The impact of investment-type proportion on the value of technical efficiency is negative, which indicates that the higher the investment-type proportion will lead to a negative impact on efficiency performance. The impact of public sector on the value of technical efficiency is positive. The impact of the proportion of financial income on the value of technical efficiency is positive, which means that financial income is indeed a very important factor to the life insurance industry.

In recent six years (during 2002 to 2007), Investment-Linked Insurance Products have gradually become the main source of business of the life insurance companies, they bring substantial business for life insurance companies. But, their separate account characteristic makes the investment risk is mainly born by their policy-holders.

In recent years, Taiwan’s life insurance industry encounters shocks in both low interest rates and volatile exchange rates, leading to a highly risky business environment. Investment-linked insurance policy that takes both investment and insurance into account has hence become the mainstream instrument in the market. This study attempts to examine asset allocation by investment-linked insurance strongly marketed by insurance companies after the 2008 crisis, with special focus on master-feeder funds it incorporates. Using the concept of rolling investment, the paper compares performance among various master funds selected by the policy with three distinct investment and settlement points of time and discusses whether this type of asset allocation strategies serve to propose a low-risk instrument for investors. The empirical results show that the master funds are independent with each other and there exist significant differences in terms of performance and risk. In other words, this policy cannot guarantee stable returns in all funds it selects. Some even experience negative returns after the 2008 crisis. Therefore, despite overall advantage for the investment strategy based on master-feeder funds, the insurance company is required to pay more attention to an unbiased selection of funds available for policyholders. Otherwise, investors may make wrong choices under asymmetry of information between them and the insurance company. Moreover, since investment-linked policy will continue to prevail in the institutional framework of financial holding companies in Taiwan, it is suggested that the insurance company need enhance expertise in screening assets to secure consumer interests.
