Maximizing withdrawal success in a pooled annuity fund with multiple annuitants.

problem Optimizing withdrawal success in a pooled annuity fund with homogeneous annuitants.
method Maximizing the probability of completing withdrawals until death over portfolio weight functions.
result Increasing the number of annuitants can significantly increase the maximum probability of withdrawal success.

Unified framework explains retirement and annuitization decisions under age-dependent mortality.

problem Complexity of annuitization decisions due to longevity risk and labor force participation.
method Stochastic control and optimal stopping framework with habit formation and endogenous labor supply.
result Rich sequence of retirement dynamics, including defensive and aggressive labor supply phases.

Optimal annuitization strategy depends on age, labor income, and mortality risk.

problem Maximizing utility from consumption and labor income under age-dependent mortality.
method Dynamic programming approach to derive closed-form solutions.
result Post-retirement labor income acts as a substitute for annuitization.

This paper examines the optimal annuitization, investment and consumption strategies of a utility-maximizing retiree facing a stochastic time of death under a variety of institutional restrictions. We focus on the impact of aging on the optimal purchase of life annuities which form the basis of most Defined Benefit pen…

The paper analyzes optimal timing for converting wealth into annuities in the presence of a mortality shock.

problem Optimal timing for converting retirement wealth into annuities under a mortality risk.
method Derives explicit closed-form solutions for value function and optimal stopping boundaries.
result The optimal strategy depends on the interplay between annuity attractiveness, investment returns, and bequest motives.

The paper examines optimal annuitization for retirees with potential post-retirement work.

problem Post-retirement labor participation complicates optimal annuitization decisions.
method Stochastic control, optimal stopping, expected utility maximization, martingale methodology, duality techniques.
result The optimal annuitization time is linearly dependent on initial wealth, with or without labor income.

Optimal timing for converting savings into annuities considering mortality risk.

problem Determining the best time to annuitize retirement savings under stochastic mortality.
method Formulated as a three-dimensional optimal stopping problem, reduced to nested one-dimensional problems, solved using PDMP structure.
result Rich structure for the optimal annuitization rule, covering various parameter specifications.

Study finds actuarial unfairness in China's pension system, proposing income-dependent annuitization rules.

problem Actuarial fairness in China's NDC pension system when mortality differs across income groups.
method Developed a mortality-differentiated Lee-Carter framework with group-specific baseline mortality schedules and a common period effect, estimated using national and subgroup data.
result Substantial actuarial unfairness in the current age-only divisor, with a reverse transfer from poorer to richer retirees.

Various types of structures that enable a group of individuals to pool their mortality risk have been proposed in the literature. Collectively, the structures are called pooled annuity funds. Since the pooled annuity funds propose different methods of pooling mortality risk, we investigate the connections between them …

The paper optimizes retirement spending considering habit formation and pension income.

problem Optimizing lifetime consumption under habit formation and pension income.
method Time inhomogeneous stochastic control problem with numerical solution using finite difference scheme.
result Consumption patterns change over time based on habit and optimal strategy.

Refundable income annuities offer a money-back guarantee, now the majority of sales.

problem The complexity and market neglect of refundable income annuities.
method Explained the pricing, duration, and money's-worth-ratio of refundable IAs, proving a counterintuitive price behavior.
result The market price of cash-refund IAs is not a declining function of age, and older buyers might pay more than younger ones.

This paper analyzes a novel type of mortality contingent-claim called a ruin-contingent life annuity (RCLA). This product fuses together a path-dependent equity put option with a "personal longevity" call option. The annuitant's (i.e. long position) payoff from a generic RCLA is \$1 of income per year for life, akin to…

The paper explores how to fairly share longevity risk among participants of tontine schemes.

problem Fair distribution of longevity risk among participants with varying wealth and health.
method Develops a modeling framework for sharing benefits among survivors in tontine schemes.
result There are multiple ways to share longevity risk, depending on social cohesion.
