Abstract

Dynamic hybrid products are pension products that consist of a dynamic combination of classical with profits participating life insurance contracts (or a bank account) and fund savings plans. To put such products in an optimal utility framework, we derive an optimal combination of a money market account, a CPPI-style fund and a free fund in continuous trading via transforming the original investment problem into a conventional portfolio problem in the presence of a guarantee condition. By this, we obtain (semi-) explicit forms of the dynamic weights for the different ingredients of a dynamic hybrid product.
