Abstract

This paper introduces a fair valuation framework for pricing variable annuity liabilities and their embedded guarantee riders within a dynamic multi-period context. We focus on variable annuities featuring the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) rider, which exposes policyholders to both financial and longevity risks. We employ a fair dynamic valuation method that is market-consistent, actuarially-consistent, and time-consistent. Our findings demonstrate that this approach effectively establishes fair management fee rates, aligning with prior research and industry surveys. Furthermore, we highlight the potential for significant reductions in liability valuation, and consequently, GLWB rider pricing, through effective management of longevity risk within the insurer's net liability.
