We price the surrender option embedded in two common types of guaranteed participating Italian life contracts and we adopt the Least Squares Monte Carlo approach following Longstaff and Schwartz (2001) giving a comparative analysis with the results obtained through a Recursive Tree Binomial approach according to Bacinello (2003). We present an application to a major Italian life policies’ portfolio at two different market valuation dates. We use a Black&Scholes-CIR++ economy to simulate the reference fund; we estimate the fair value of portfolio’s liabilities according to De Felice and Moriconi (2001), (2002) and Pacati (2000) extending the framework to price the embedded surrender options.
