Description: In this paper the author proposes a proof for new formulas that derive exposure formulas of the valuation-schedule type on the basis of the Balducci assumption. In addition he provides a short cut for the coefficients of the terms involving deaths. Then he derives a general exposure formula of the valuation-schedule type that may be used for all mortality studies with an observation period covering an integral number of consecutive years.

Description: The values of life insurance and annuity liabilities move in opposite directions in response to a change in the underlying mortality. Natural hedging utilizes this to stabilize aggregate liability cash flows. Our study shows empirical evidence that insurers who utilize natural hedging also charge lower premiums than otherwise similar insurers. This indicates that insurers who are able to utilize natural hedging have a competitive advantage. In addition, we show how a mortality swap might be used to provide the benefits of natural hedging to a firm that writes only one of the lines of business.
