Summary

Which impact does a change in strategic asset allocation have on the product design ? The paper gives some answers to this question for german with - profit life assurance products. It uses an elementary Markowitz-type portfolio model for the assets and a simplified savings plan model for the liabilities. Because of their simplicity, the models may be discussed without any effort with non-actuaries and nevertheless demonstrate the basic effects in a qualitatively and quantitatively appropriate way.
