Purchasing Term Life Insurance to Reach a Bequest Goal: Time-Dependent Case

Published 8 Mar 2015 in q-fin.MF and q-fin.PM | (1503.02237v1)

Abstract: We consider the problem of how an individual can use term life insurance to maximize the probability of reaching a given bequest goal, an important problem in financial planning. We assume that the individual buys instantaneous term life insurance with a premium payable continuously. By contrast with Bayraktar et al. (2014), we allow the force of mortality to vary with time, which, as we show, greatly complicates the problem.
