Abstract
We analyze the effect of enhanced annuities on an insurer engaging in individual underwriting. We use a frailty model for heterogeneity of the insured population and model individual underwriting by a random variable that positively correlates with the corresponding frailty factor. For a given annuity portfolio, we analyze the effect of the quality of the underwriting on the insurer’s profit/loss situation and the impact of adverse selection effects.
