Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper presents a method for hedging in markets of two-factor diffusion and jump diffusion models under the restriction of a specified probability of success. In addition, a method for hedging with a given shortfall amount is developed. A maximal perfect hedging set is constructed for options involving the exchange of one asset for another. The developed method is applied to the pricing of equity-linked life insurance contracts, such as “pure endowments with a guarantee”. Traditional pricing approaches for hedging options often yield minimal returns for investors. By accepting a predefined level of risk, investors can achieve higher returns. In light of this, this paper proposes risk management strategies applicable to these hybrid financial and insurance products.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
