I propose to investigate the evolution of equity-indexed annuity (EIA) portfolios as well as their associated risk management. An equity-indexed annuity is an insurance product whose benefits are linked to the performance of an equity market. It provides limited participation in the performance of an equity index (e.g. S&P 500) while guaranteeing a minimum rate of return. Introduced by Keyport Life Insurance Co. in 1995, equity-indexed annuities have been the most innovative insurance product introduced in recent years. They have become increasingly popular since their debut and their sales have broken the $20 billion barrier ($23.1 billion) in 2004, reaching $27.3 billion in 2005. Since equity-indexed annuities have reached a critical mass with a total asset of $93 billion in 2005, I propose to investigate a global approach that evaluates the dynamic evolution of these portfolios in a realistic framework.

我建议研究股票指数年金(EIA)投资组合的演变及其相关的风险管理。与股票挂钩的年金是一种保险产品，其收益与股票市场的表现挂钩。它在保证最低回报率的同时，对股票指数(如S指数)的表现提供有限的参与。由Keyport Life Insurance Co.于1995年推出的股票指数年金是近年来推出的最具创新性的保险产品。自问世以来，它们变得越来越受欢迎，其销售额在2004年突破了200亿美元(231亿美元)的大关，2005年达到273亿美元。由于股票指数年金在2005年达到了930亿美元的总资产，达到了临界值，我建议研究一种全球方法，在一个现实的框架内评估这些投资组合的动态演变。
