Abstract

The paper is devoted to quantile hedging in a market with defaultable securities. Both perfect and quantile hedging strategies are given for a European call option on a vulnerable equity. Application of quantile methodology to pricing the equity-linked life insurance contracts is demonstrated. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effect of a default on the option price, on the probability of successful hedging, and on the insurance-related variables.
