Monte Carlo Valuation of Future Annuity Contracts

In this paper we propose a methodology for valuing future annuity contracts based on the Least-Squares Monte Carlo approach. We adopt, as first step, a simplified computational framework where just one risk factor is taken into account. We give a brief description of the valuation procedure and provide some numerical illustrations. Furthermore, to test the efficiency of the proposed methodology, we compare our results with those obtained by applying a straightforward and time-consuming approach based on nested simulations.
