Abstract
The discussion on Maturity Guarantees, as applied to unit linked life assurance policies, has followed two quite distinct paths—the conventional or mainstream approach, as exemplified by Benjamin (1976) and endorsed by the Maturity Guarantees Working Party (MGWP 1980) on the one hand, and those who seek to reduce the risks associated with maturity guarantees by using an immunization strategy on the other (Brennan & Schwartz, 1976).Keywords
