Abstract: Randomization is a technique in Finance to replace known quantities (like the time to maturity) by random variables. This sometimes gives moments or quantiles of the payoff in closed-form, avoiding any kind of Fourier inversion or simulation algorithm. We apply this idea to GMDBs where payoff dates are per se random. The remaining lifetime is expanded in terms of a Laguerre series while the financial market follows a regime switching model with two-sided phase-type jumps. For European-type GMDBs we obtain the density of the payoff in closed form as a Laurent series. Payoffs of path-dependent guarantee features can be expressed in terms of solutions of Sylvester equations (=matrix equations of the form AX + XB =C). The advantage of this approach is that prices or higher-order moments of many products can be obtained efficiently in quasi closed-form. This is joint work with Griselda Deelstra (Université Libre de Bruxelles).
