Abstract
In this paper we study efficient hedging and its applications to the pricing of equitylinked life insurance contracts. We devote our attention to the pure endowment contracts with a flexible guarantee. In our setting, these insurance instruments are based on two risky assets of the market controlled by the Black-Scholes model during the contract period. The first asset is responsible for the maximal size of future profit while the second provides a flexible guarantee for the insured. \nThe insurance company is considered as a hedger of a maximum of two risky assets as a contingent claim in this market. The contract is exercised if the insured is still alive at the maturity time and cannot be perfectly hedged in view of a positive survival probability of a client. To provide an appropriate risk-management in connection of such a contract, the company should exploit some imperfect hedging forms. Here we propose the use of efficient hedging with a power loss function. \nSpecifying developments in this area, we create the pricing methodology for the insurance contracts under consideration in terms of a generalized Margrabe’s formula. \nThe results are illustrated by a numerical actuarial analysis with the indices Russell 2000 \nand Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
